The Perks of Getting Naked

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

 

If you’ve looked in the mirror at your reflection saying to yourself: “Dang, I need to lose some weight,” scolded yourself as you get seconds at dinner, whispering: “Dang, I need to stop eating so much,” or regretted your decision to pick a cookie over that apple, thinking: “Dang, I need to start choosing healthier foods,” and I know they have for me, then I have a simple solution: get Naked.

Now, now; calm down ladies. I’m not endorsing stripping down to your undies in order to get healthier. That just doesn’t make any sense. I’m talking about the nourishing and delicious, wholesome fruit drink called Naked. You’ve probably seen these relatively new drinks, which come in a distinctive square-shaped plastic bottle, in the markets on campus here at UF. Most people, however, are too afraid to try them once they see the Green Machine flavored drink, which has a green hue eerily reminiscent of fungus.

If you can look past the appearance of this drink, they can open the doors to an endless supply of nutrition, flavor, and energy. These gluten-free vegan smoothies contain 100 percent juice 100 percent of the time. That means no preservatives, additives, or extra unhealthy sugars. The “boosted” Naked smoothies contain 190 percent of your daily-recommended amounts of Vitamins C, E, and B12. It doesn’t get much healthier than that!

There’s a plethora of blends to choose from: berry blast, mango veggie, pomegranate acai, strawberry banana, and so much more. For those workout buffs, there are four choices that contain added protein, which is a perfect addition to your pre-workout routine!

Why choose Naked when I have so many other juice options, might you ask? This is one of the few premade, on-the-go smoothies that purely contain fruit and no additives. At places like Tropical Smoothie and Starbucks, their products are full of added sugar and syrups that are sure to make you crash a few hours after drinking them. Naked is the ideal, healthy alternative to replace those iced coffees you get every morning.

Got the munchies at the library at 1:00 AM? Get Naked. Running late to class but are hung-over and needing a pick-me-up? Get Naked. Need something to hold you over until dinner? Get Naked. Looking for a yummy and filling snack in between classes? Just get Naked.
