Suja Life is relaunching its iconic 'Grapefruit Spritz,' 'Lemon Lime,' 'Orange,' and 'Strawberry' flavors in its new packaging design, highlighting the products' health-focused nature. The beverages, packed with a mix of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, contain everything from Bacillus subtilus DE111 to Bifidobacterium Longum ES1. This blend, known as the 'Gutsy Blend,' is the key to Suja's better-for-you formulas.
The newly relaunched Slice soda can offers a design that echoes the original with its familiar colors and logo. However, the updated can proudly displays a "5g sugar" label near the top, along with a "healthy soda" tagline near the bottom to appeal to those seeking a guilt-free treat.
Unlike the original version, which boasted "10% real juice," this new formula contains 2% juice from concentrate, marking a shift in its ingredient profile.
