Review: SOL Sunflower Beverage

Sunflowers are fascinating. Especially the ones that make me feel short standing next to their tall bright majesty. Okay, majesty might be a strong word. But it’s got to be a strong flower to hold up a head that’s often bigger than my own…

Recently I sampled a product from Sunrich Naturals: SoL Sunflower Beverage. I was pleasantly surprised by how much everyone here loved it. I received a sample of the Original flavor, which is like a sunflower seed milk. I usually prefer unsweetened beverages, so I was slightly disappointed that it contained added sugar. But the taste was nutty and honey like, and I couldn’t deny taking sip after sip. It’s so smooth and delicious.

While this product is free of the top 8 allergens and gluten, the information wasn’t fully listed on the actual product itself which I found surprising. Maybe it was just the sample product that I received, but I really think companies should go ahead and brag about being allergy friendly as much as possible. If it’s not listed, many food allergic folks will likely pass it by easily in the grocery store, especially if it has a long ingredient list. This is only my opinion. That being said, I did contact someone from the company who kindly let me know they take strong precautions to make sure allergens are not present in production, since they also make a soy based milk.

Some of the things I liked about SoL are the high content of Vitamins E, D, Calcium, and Phosphorus. Vitamin E is especially great for the largest organ in your body; your skin! It’s definitely a nice switch from different alternative milks and offers such a unique, tasty flavor. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for SoL at the supermarket next time I’m shopping and be watching how this company will expand it’s allergy friendly products.
