| Magick1's Full Review: Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino |
The Bolthouse Farms products are wonderful. I found these while shopping in my local warehouse store one day and I haven’t turned back! This particular drink is one of the best! This product is one that I will reach for before any other bottled coffee or cappuccino drink on the market.
The Product
The main thing I enjoy about this is the flavor. It’s rich, chocolaty, and filled with coffee flavor. Bolthouse Farms have been around since 1915, per their packaging. I don’t know if they have been making this the entire time (I doubt it), but I know that this is one premium product!
The drink is made up of whey protein and 100% Arabica coffee, Madagascar vanilla extract and premium cocoa. You can taste the quality! This drink offers a lot of natural ingredients and provides nutrients like vitamins C, D, B6, and B12, calcium, zinc, magnesium and 18 amino acids.
One nice thing about these items is that is flash pasteurized and cold-filled for quality. Pasteurizing is a nice feature. I know when I was pregnant, reading all of the information out there, I recall do not drink unpasteurized juice, etc. So, now when I purchase juice and other drinks, I look for that indication to whether the drink is pasteurized or not.
The Ingredients
Mocha cappuccino (low fat milk, 100% Arabica coffee, natural flavors, vanilla extract (Madagascar), cocoa), apple juice from concentrate (water, apple juice concentrate), milk, whey protein, potassium diphosphate, gum acacia, gellan gum, pectin, calcium (tricalcium phosphate), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), magnesium (magnesium oxide), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), zinc (zinc sulfate), iron (ferrous lactate), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Allergen warning: Contains Milk and Whey.
Nutritional Facts
One thing you do have to watch is the calories per serving on this one. You cannot take in too much of a good thing, you know!
This information, as were the ingredients, is taken directly from the bottle of Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino with Whey Protein. This is based upon a standard 2,000 calorie diet and is a single serving of only 8 fluid ounces. The bottle is 33.8 ounces, so roughly 4 servings all told if you drink the whole bottle!

As you can see, in just one serving, you get a lot of benefit, especially 150% of vitamins B12, B6 and C. You cannot say that with other cappuccinos on the market.
Overall Impressions
I truly enjoy this product. You always want to serve this product cold and always keep the product refrigerated! I usually shake it up really well before I pour a glass and I get a foamy, almost milkshake like drink. The coffee flavor dances across your tongue and plays catch with the delicious chocolaty cocoa. It just tastes wonderful. You don’t feel like you are drinking something healthy, rather you feel like you are treating yourself to a decadent treat!
Bolthouse Farms have been around a long time. I honestly cannot say that I had ever heard of them until last year. I am very happy that I found their products and I have tried quite a few of them. Each one that I have tried tastes fresh, delicious and is better for me than many other things I used to drink!
If you do want more information about the products they carry, you can find more detail here at their website: www.bolthouse.com. They have a wonderful collection of items, especially beverages available. They have a vanilla chai, hazelnut perfectly protein all the way to berry boost smoothies and all the way over to salad dressings! Their products are wonderful. If you have some in a store near you, check them out!
~Thanks for spending time with me today!~
