Julia's Food Reviews

Mango Passion Fruit Juice: 10/10 - I loved this juice! It was sweet, flavorful, and refreshing! You could really taste the mango and passionfruit. It was altogether a great product. It also had just the perfect amount of sugar. I hate when things are too sweet but this had the perfect flavor combinations. 

Just the Clusters Granola: 9/10 - I was very impressed by this product! I thoroughly enjoyed them. There was a very strong ginger flavor which I really loved. It was extremely flavorful and had great texture as well! All of the various mix-ins (almonds, ginger, cashews, oats, etc.) had a very satisfying crunch when I bit into them. Definitely an enjoyable experience. It also just looked appetizing! The delicious golden color on the large clumps of sugary oats and sliced nuts looked fantastic to me. Overall, there was an exceptional flavor, texture, and presentation. The only reason I took a point off is that I found it was a little too  sweet for my personal taste pallet. 

Yogurt Pretzels: 6/10 - Unlike the other yogurt pretzels I reviewed, these were not my favorite at all. The previous pretzels I tried were blueberry flavored which made them sweet without being overpowering as well as a nice fruity taste. These, however, were not fruity and very sugary.  I also found that when you bit into it, the yogurt came off easily and you were left with the plain, hard, salty pretzel which was not very enjoyable. Although, I do think that I wouldn't be so harsh on these pretzels if I had not been so pleased with the Blueberry-Yogurt Pretzels that set my expectations so high. 

Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli: 8/10 - I don't typically like ricotta but the tang of lemon was really delicious. They also all stayed together really well and none of the filling was coming out and there was no pasta falling apart which was a huge plus.  I'd say the only thing I didn't like was how bland they were but that could easily be fixed by adding seasoning or sauce of some sort. Overall a great flavor.

Caprese Ravioli: 6/10 - I was honestly expecting more from this. The individual ravioli were really pretty and looked super enticing but they were really bland when you tasted them. I thought I would get a burst of pesto from the filling but, to me, it tasted super similar to plain pasta which was dissapointing. But then again, even plain pasta tastes amazing so it's hard to go wrong.  I added lots of salt, pepper, oil, and cheese to make it more enjoyable but I bet it would also be great with actual pesto or tomato sauce.
