Berry vs. Orange: Which Flavor Reigns Supreme?
Okay, I finally tried the Citrus flavor of my gummy vitamins and I'm so disappointed! It tastes like bitter orange peel, not the sweet orange I was expecting. My absolute fave is the Berry Blast, but the store was out and I grabbed Citrus. Now I'm stuck with a bottle I dread taking. What's the consensus on the best flavor? Should I just stick to Berry forever or is there another one I'm missing out on?
You guys actually buy flavored gummies? I thought the whole point was to get your vitamins without tasting them. I just get the cheapest store brand capsules. But if you're into flavors, I've heard the Tropical is decent. My kid takes the gummy ones and she's all about the strawberry. But honestly, they all taste like candy to me, which is kind of suspect. Are we sure these aren't just candy with lipstick on?
As an amateur chef, I have to say, the flavor profiles of these gummies vary wildly. The Berry Blast is indeed well-balanced, but have you tried the Pomegranate? It has a nice tartness that cuts through the sweetness. However, if you hate citrus, stay away from the Lemon Ginger—it's like a spicy lemon drop. Also, tip: try the Peach Mango, it's surprisingly smooth. But I agree, Citrus is a miss. It's all about that berry life.
Thanks for the input! I'll have to order the Pomegranate online next time. I'm a runner and I need my vitamins to not feel like a chore. Maybe I'll just buy two flavors and alternate—like Berry for the days I need a pick-me-up and Pomegranate for the days I'm feeling adventurous. But yeah, Citrus is going to my husband, he'll eat anything.
Alternating is genius! That way you don't get flavor fatigue. I do that with my coffee beans. But yeah, Citrus is a hard pass. Also, if you're into mixes, try crushing a berry gummy and adding it to your post-run smoothie. It adds a nice zing without the artificial taste. Just a chef's trick. Enjoy!
