      They're normally $7+ at my stores, so the $5 would be better

      • Pantagonist on 29/01/2019 - 18:59

        I agree. From memory, Fresh Juice / Blend, Protein & Energy and the Green range are all about $7.90 for the largest size.

        Phone is fine?

    • Dadidalol on 30/01/2019 - 08:03

      Depends on what size. If you're getting the junior size which is usually $5.70 or $5.90 then the dollar off is better. I usually get the junior size if I'm craving a smoothie because the original is too large a treat and has too many calories.

          Many people (including myself initially) are under the impression that it is all fresh fruit, especially in a large place doing juices all the time, I thought they would use all fresh fruit not frozen puree or whatever.

          After I found out many of boost items are not made with fresh product, I now ask which fruits are fresh when I consider what to order
          If I'm going to be getting old frozen preserved fruit/veg, IMO, might as well just go buy the $1/litre long life preserved juices at coles.

          I think a good cafe, is more likely to have fresh produce than boost. Especially with something that I know that is in season and plentiful at fruit shops (eg.mango, banana).

      Since you don't go to Melbourne often, I would highly recommend stopping in here for ice cream (Gelato) if you have the chance. Gelateria On The Docks its near the water, hence "on the docks" .
      I visited from NSW, and honestly IMO the gelato/ice-cream here is that good, I actually thought about taking some on the plane with me, a take home pack. I was surprised how cheap it was also, about $3 less than what I would have expected a fair price. I think it was $7 for 3 flavours or something like that. About 40 flavours to choose from.

      As with most places, it depends what you order.

      According to their website there are 16 flavours that are under 200 calories (~840 kilojoules).

      All reasonably high in sugar but presumably that mostly comes from the fruit unless you're ordering something with refined sugars (possibly in the yoghurt they use?).

      The "Two & Five" juice is pretty good health-wise but a bit too expensive to justify at full price. At $5 I'll probably get a few while the promotion is running.

    • Diji1 on 29/01/2019 - 20:36

      When fruit is pureed or juiced the sugar content becomes the same as being added. Your body handles it the same as drinking a Coke. In the case of juice you will be consuming the equivalent of many pieces of fruit in sugar.

      • Pantagonist on 29/01/2019 - 21:02
        +2

        Whole fruit > pureed whole fruit > juiced fruit (i.e. with skin / pulp removed) > other refined or partial fruit juices.

        You puree one apple or orange that you would otherwise eat whole, it doesn't change the sugar content or balance of fructose / glucose. It does make it easier for your body to digest and absorb it quickly which is why whole fruit is better. Being in juice form it's also easy to drink 4 or 5 apples or oranges worth of juice than it is to sit down and eat that same number of apples or oranges.

        If people aren't getting their daily recommended intake of fruit and veg, drinking a "Two & Five" from Boost would be a lot better than filling up on a lot of other convenience foods.

          If people aren't getting their daily recommended intake of fruit and veg, drinking a "Two & Five" from Boost would be a lot better than filling up on a lot of other convenience foods.

          I liked to convince myself of something similar, when I was studying intro to nutrition subject as part of uni. The marketing of it, makes it seem like a super-healthy option. I figured if I drank 1 of the "Two and Five" boosts, I had my 2+5 covered and then could not worry about it for rest of that day, as 'box was ticked' , 2+5 done. Lol.
          The 2 fruits and 5 vegetables per day recommendation, is based on solid scientific evidence of the vegetables having health benefits, most notably, reducing likelihood of getting cancer.

          • Pantagonist on 30/01/2019 - 09:11

            @[Deactivated]: Eating those servings as whole foods is definitely preferable, but in juiced form it's better than drinking most other packaged drinks.

            Original size "Two & Five" has 710kJ and 35g of sugar, plus the added nutritional benefits of what's in the fruit and veg (vitamins, minerals etc.). General suggestion is that you don't take in more than 10% of your daily energy in sugars. Average adult energy intake recommendation is around 8700kJ so 10% of that is 870kJ. If you treat your "Two & Five" as your daily treat food and don't take in more added sugars during the day you'll be under that recommended limit while also getting the benefits of what's in the fruit and veg.

            If you watch them make it you'll see that nothing funny gets added. It all goes into the blender as raw ingredients plus the Vita booster which doesn't contain anything nasty.

        Is that true of even 100% freshly squeezed orange juice with nothing added? Your body treats it like drinking coke?

        • Pantagonist on 29/01/2019 - 22:34
          +3

          It's a fairly simplistic statement that ignores the fact that there are a lot more beneficial nutrients in addition to the naturally-occurring sugar in an orange, whereas the same can't be said about Coke.

          The best thing to do with fruit juice is to limit yourself to a serving (generally around 125mL) so that you're not ingesting the equivalent of 4 or 5 oranges in one go like you are if you drink a 500mL bottle.

          • lostn on 29/01/2019 - 23:45

            @Pantagonist: I love oranges. I can eat 4 in a day. Is that bad?

            When I drink juice, I usually have between 250 or 375ml. I only do this when I have too many oranges and can't eat them all. I figure, if the fruit itself isn't bad for you, why should its juice be?

            • Pantagonist on 30/01/2019 - 07:25

              @lostn: My post above your first question relates to what you've asked, I'd suggest reading that.

              Recommended fruit intake per day is still two serves, so if you're eating 4 oranges and/or drinking up to 375ml of juice per day then you're probably exceeding that.

              Obviously the benefits you're getting from eating those fruits will be better than consuming the same amount of sugar in a carbonated beverage. Factors such as the type of fruit and whether you include the pulp/skin in the juicing process will also be relevant.

              If you eat your two serves of fruit whole and drink water to quench your thirst then that's the best option.

              • lostn on 30/01/2019 - 08:16

                @Pantagonist: How big is a serve of fruit (not juice)? Because two watermelons is obviously bigger than two grapes.

                • Pantagonist on 30/01/2019 - 08:35
                  +1

                  @lostn: A standard serve is about 150g (350kJ) or:

                  1 medium apple, banana, orange or pear
2 small apricots, kiwi fruits or plums
1 cup diced or canned fruit (no added sugar)

                  Or only occasionally:

                  125ml (½ cup) fruit juice (no added sugar)
30g dried fruit (for example, 4 dried apricot halves, 1½ tablespoons of sultanas)

                  https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/food-essentials/how-much-do-…

                  Quick Google of those two fruits you mentioned suggest:

                  1 cup of watermelon = approx 170kJ = approx half a serve
                  1 cup of grapes = approx 450kJ = approx one and a half serves

                    A standard serve is about 150g (350kJ) or:

                    The standard serve and whether something is a small/medium/large serve and having to weigh something to be sure (and even then, something like watermelon with mostly water probably throws off the weighing) all this complicates things to where even for a professional dietitian, it is quite difficult to precisely measure a person's intake of foods and make the related calculations.

                    We used 1 of the main software programs at uni one tutorial, nobody really knew what "1 serving of bread" was for example. Cannot even say, it's 1 slice, because some bread like Helgas, 1 slice is about double size/weight of 99cent Woolworths bread.

                    I'm sure if you weighed everything you ate for a while, then did all the calculations on nutrition software (or on paper or whatever), then after a week or so you would probably start realizing exactly how much something is, and how many 'servings' it is and whether it is a small/medium/large serve etc.

                    Alot of work initially though, to get an accurate understanding of current intake etc.

                    A bit like a 'standard drink' I guess ie. The average punter wouldn't know what a 'standard drink' is without looking on the bottle/can. And a banana isn't labeled with "1.4 standard medium fruits" or anything like that. So I guess you're supposed to take skin of banana, then weight it.

                      @[Deactivated]: Sure, or you can Google the approximate nutritional value of what fruit or veg you're eating measured in a standard form (e.g. a cup) and go from there, as I outlined at the end of my previous post.

                      Really, the take home message is that the more refined / processed something is, the less nutritional value it has. Weight being equal, a wholegrain loaf of sourdough bread with no added sugar is going to be better for you than the cheapest white bread made with highly refined flour / sugar and not much else.

                      Those standard serve suggestions in fruit terms exist to give people an approximate guide as to what a reasonable amount is before they sit down and smash two mangoes or a bunch of grapes in one sitting thinking that they're not overdoing it.

                        So slice or mash the fruit or veg into a cup ? But then all cups are different sizes, so maybe you mean a measuring cup.
                        Not really any easier than weighing the food IMO. And probably less accurate also, than actually weighing the food (and using appropriate nutritional values per gram etc)

                          I'd say a very small percentage of people care enough to weigh their food and calculate its nutritional content, which is why alternative measures that may not be as accurate are provided because they're better than no measurement at all.

                          @[Deactivated]: If you slice it, you're still going to get gaps of empty space in the cup, and how big those gaps are will depend on the fruit and how you slice or dice it.

                          I feel nutritionists haven't done a good job quantifying when they simply tell you to eat 2 fruit and 5 veg a day. As a kid I was like, ok I've had 5 broccoli florets. That's my fill for the day. Mum is like, I don't think so Mister.

                          To be more accurate than "2 servings" would require the consumer to measure or weigh the produce, which just isn't realistic.

                          Even if you use a generally guide like say 1 apple or 1 pear = 1 serving, these fruits vary wildly in size. Some apples are bigger than others.

                          I eat a lot of fruits. At the expense of meat (I'm vegetarian now). Apparently that's not good for you. I don't know if eating too much fruit is bad for you, or if it's just a matter of keeping an eye on your calorie intake. Too much of anything is bad for you, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how healthy or unhealthy is the food itself. Obviously too much fatty red meats is worse for you than too many mangoes.. I would think?

                But I also take what dieticians say with a healthy grain of salt, because they change their minds so frequently, and different dieticians contradict each other all the time regarding whether a particular food is actually healthy for you or bad for you. The truth is usually somewhere in between.

It's a Science-based health information portal operated by a not-for-profit organisation committed to updating the public with palatable presentation of the latest researched data.

                    @Unotifoso: OK I've watched your video now.

                    If he's right, then I'm safe, as someone who eats a lot of fruit? I eat a lot of peaches/nectarines when they're in season. Up to 9 a day, and I buy bigger ones. When mangoes are in season I eat 2, though not if I'm doing 9 peaches also.

                    But I drink a lot of orange juice when it doesn't look like we will finish the oranges before they go off. If I'm eating the oranges, I will eat two mid sized oranges after lunch or dinner.

                    So basically, my after meal fruit intake is either 2-3 peaches (depending on size), or 1 mango, or 2 oranges. And I do this twice a day. This is in addition to berries which I also eat a lot of but don't treat as a serving of fruit. Two, sometimes 3 packs of raspberries, or 1 pack of blue/strawberries.

                    I took meat out of my diet, so I'm either going to be filling that void with more fruit or more veggies, or more bread/pasta/rice. I keep dairy to a minimum, though I do have a soft spot for ice cream and sometimes yoghurt. The best tasting of those three groups is fruit, so that is what I chose. The other option is more "junk", but obviously that's worse for you than the other three options.

If you venture down veganism then pay attention to EPA and B12 but otherwise a whole plant food diet is fine. I'd stick with that site for checking any advice people give.

    I knew I was getting old when a bottle of 600ml Coke costs $4.50 at most deli's and peeps on Ozb are going crazy over a $5 boost juice.

      Haha haven't had coke since 1995, isn't that for chubby wubbies?

    • tranter on 29/01/2019 - 22:01

      When the 600ml bottle first came out weren't they $2 max?

      The "Wondermelon" has the least sugar.

    Berry’s are sourced from China. I’ll find the article later.

  • Spending2Much on 29/01/2019 - 21:44

    Might tempt me to try a boost….

    Wow 209 upvotes for an offer that was already available every Tuesday.
    I actually posted the deal and got 20 votes.
    An advantage of the Tuesday offer is you can order several.

      People have commented in this deal and yours that it appears as though the $5 Tuesday deal only includes the crush range now.

      This deal seems to be available every day of the week.

      This deal doesn't appear to have any restrictions on what you order.

      This deal doesn't require messing around with a third party app.

      I'd say the reasons above are why this deal has 11x more upvotes than yours at the time of writing this.
