We were really excited to try this new product; we love the idea --
ready to eat, drinkable soup -- and we love the packaging, but
unfortunately, that's where the love-fest ends. The Creamy Mango
Spice flavor is really sweet and the combination doesn't work as
well as we thought it would. The flavors seem to be fighting each
other; and one look at the ingredient list tells us why: peaches
and apple juice follow mango on the list, and the aroma of peach is
overpowering, while the apple juice flavor just doesn't work well
with chili pepper. If Go Appetit had stuck to just mango, we think
this would have been great, but as it is, they should have called
it "Mango, Peach and Apple Spice" -- it's a bit misleading as it
is. It's rich in potassium, which is great, but packed with sugar:
26 grams, which we find excessive. Available in other flavors.
Retails for $2.49/8-oz. bottle.
