Review: Tumeric ALIVE

What it is: Described as an "elixir of life," it's a spicy, vibrantly colored tumeric drink. What it contains: 12 fl oz. 81 Calories. Ultra-Purified Water, Organic Coconut Nectar, Organic Turmeric, Organic Ginger, Organic Lemon Juice, Celtic Sea Salt, Organic Coconut Oil, Other Organic Spices (Cardamom, Spearmint, Cayenne, Black Pepper)

What we think: You wouldn't expect a spice-based drink to go down like anything other than a tonic, but Tumeric ALIVE manages to pull off refreshing. Tumeric is an ancient spice with loads of health benefits attributed to it, but unless you eat curry 24/7, it doesn't crop up in the ol' diet too often. After a night of birthday and bachelorette partying, we were swayed by this drink's promise to "give your body what it needs to burn clean and strong." Spicy thanks to a little black pepper and cardamom, it's almost savory, yet the coconut keeps it sweet enough for it to stay in the refreshing beverage category.

Would we buy it again? Yes.
