Good Belly coconut water: I purchased two more GoodBelly flavors because of a sale at Whole Foods. The first I tried was coconut water with probiotics added. The drink has a slightly green milky tint, with brown sediments on the bottom. It has a strange flavor added on top of coconut water (I think from the grape juice listed on the ingredients). Not recommended. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's This Mango Walks into a Bar Cereal Bar: Adding to their seasonal mango-flavored snacks, Trader Joe's introduced the fruit to their line of cereal bars. While on the sweet side, the mango flavor is concentrated and slightly tart. A decent snack that holds you up for an hour or so. 3.0/5.0

Jia Duo Bao Herbal Tea: This brand of herbal tea seems to have dropped its iconic red bottle for a new golden one. Nonetheless, the flavor is exactly the same: more sweet than herbal but with a refreshing honey flavor. 2.5/5.0

Pinkberry milk flavored frozen yogurt: The milk-flavored froyo at Pinkberry is surprisingly creamy and is more mild than the plain slightly tart yogurt. Paired with fruit, it's a refreshing treat for warm summer days. 3.5/5.0

Trader Joe's Mango O's cereal: Trader Joe's recently refreshed some of its usual product lines with seasonal mango-flavored versions. One example is their O's cereals, which otherwise comes in plain and honey renditions. This version has mango puree added to the oat O's as well as freeze dried cubes of mango. Overall, it's more tart than sweet and does have a distinct mango flavor. It's not something I would want to eat all the time, but it's not bad. 3.0/5.0
