"Good value for money"

This was good value for the money but the flavour was too strong for me.

"Not as nice as it sounds..."

I love cherries so was really looking forward to trying this drink. The first problem was the smell - it was so pungent it took me several attempts before I was brave enough to actually taste it.... It tasted just as bad as I imagined - way too much ginger (in my opinion) which is a shame as the concept is great!

"Like the idea but flavours aren't my cup of tea"

I'm not a big fan of these types of drinks but thought I'd give it a go. Good size of bottle, fit in your bag. What struck me first when I opened it was the smell of ginger. This may not be good for a person in the first few months of pregnancy. I get the impression with the ginger that it is designed for someone at this stage, not being able to eat much but this drink would perk you up. But a pregnant woman may not get past the smell of the drink. I found throughout my pregnancy I could not drink real fruit juices and smoothies, I had to change to concentrate and water.

Once I'd had taken a drink I found it quite pleasant but the after taste of cherry and ginger was quite overpowering. It tasted quite sweet but its all natural sugar. I hadn't had anything to eat before drinking this and felt quite refreshed and energised afterwards. I am not a cherry or ginger fan so I'm probably not the best person to have reviewed it. My husband, however, loved it!

"good value for amount you get "

Well first i would like to start with the smell i found the cherry very strong and the aloe vera was a little overpowering for my liking ,this drink is better if drunk straight from the fridge,but i found the taste to sugary for me,which is probably the natural fruits,i could taste the ginger which was a pleasent taste.
The only way i can descirbe the feeling of drinking mile high was it gave me a bright and alert feeling.

"strong smelling"

Well the first thing i noticed when opening the bottle was the smell of ginger, it was a little over powering. The taste was very unusual and did give you a refreshing lift which made me feel as though i had more energy but again was very gingery. I dont feel this product is good value for money even with its health benefits and its not something i would personally buy. Although i can imagen with all that ginger it would be a great help with morning sickness!

"tastes too much of ginger"

Amount of ginger in drink was too strong for me. Intitally tasted the cherry but soon this was overpowered.

Retial price is too high even for the supposed health benefits.

Would prefer plain juices or friut smoothies

"Healthy but tastes horrid"

The first thing i thought about this drink is that the packaging is not very eye-catching and I would probably fail to notice it in a supermarket. I opened the lid and had a sniff and it smelt of medicine. I thought maybe the smell was deceiving and proceeded to taste it but it tastes just like it smells. I really didn't like the taste and felt the Ginger was far too overpowering as I could barely taste the flavour. I would still be willing to buy another flavour though as it's really good for you. But this flavour just wasn't for me

"Horrid taste but healthy."

This drink has many benefits such as being high in antioxidents (highest in the UK) and proven to help your digestive system. It contains aloe vera and ginger which are all 100% natural and contains no hidden nasties. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the taste. When I opened it the smell reminded of a a medicine. I sipped it and all I could seem to taste was the ginger so I think that's overpowering the fruity flavours. I'd be open to try other flavours as out of personal choice I do not like the taste of cherry nor ginger (this particular one was Red Grape, Cherry, Aloe Vera & Ginger). The size of the bottle is helpful for busy times when you are on the go, you can just grab and put snuggly into your bag. The packaging isn't very eye catching and due to the small size of the bottle I think it would go un-noticed on supermarket shelves unless you have heard of it beforehand. Overall it's a very healthy drink and would definately be open to try other flavours.

"Tastes good smells like medicine"

I found the smell reminded me of medecine which put me off slightly as expected it to smell fruity.

However, I found the taste quite nice, although a little overpowering.

It is definately best served chilled, I found that adding ice made it taste better.

I was confused by the advertising as it is clearly associated with flying but is now being promoted for pregnancy. I can understand this due to the goodness contained in the ingredients but would not understand this if I saw it on a supermarket shelf.

The label on the bottle is not very eyecatching and a bit 'dull'.

So overall, nice taste, medicine smelling and would liven up the label.

"Loved the taste and shape"

The first impression that I got from the juice was the very compact form. It was easy for me to grab it in the morning, put it in my bag and drink it on the way to work. Fab. The taste was gorgeous. I could feel all the flavors. The surprise was to have aloe vera in the juice. I wasn't very sure of the combination of aloe vera and ginger in a fruit juice but the outcome was great. I had a sip and decided to have the rest later but I could not resist it and had it all at once. Would recommend it to anyone rushing in the morning hours to get the toddler to nursery and head off to work or anyone enjoying the beautiful moments with the kids. Great value for money. Would definitely buy.

"surprisingly nice!"

As soon as I opened the bottle I must say that I was a bit dubious. It smelt like medicine and knowing that it contained ginger worried me as I really don't like it. BUT, it tasted very nice and I would certainly buy it.
It's quite sweet and you can taste the different flavours all at once which makes it an interesting drink. I didn't find the taste too everpowering and was glad I couldn't taste the ginger.
It would be nice if there were more flavours. It's good to know that it's a healthy drink, I wish I'd tried it when I was pregnant to help with morning sickness.

"bizzare taste!"

i was intrigued to try this MILE HIGH juice, as the flavour description sounded yummy!
the bottle was a little boring to the eye, not very eyecatching if you were shopping, but the general bottle info about its natural blend of ingredients and high antioxidants seemed a very healthy option!
however, unfortunately the cherry flavour overpowered the grape, aloe vera and ginger and reminded me of a medicine i used to have as a small child! the cherry seemed an almost synthetic taste.
sorry guys, i wouldnt try this flavour again, but would concider trying a different blend as it does seem a genuinley healthy, worth drinking juice!

"Strong Taste"

The mile high drink has a very strong flavour which may not appeal to all. I actually enjoyed the drink and would consider making a purchase of this product in the future. I recieved the Red Grape and Cherry Juice flavour to try. The packaging is simple but informative and the juice does have a thick texture. The juice does leave a strong aftertaste in your mouth but this soon disappears.

"Different drink"

I received a bottle of this drink to try and was intrigued as it promised the RDA of antioxidants, one of my 'five a day' and no artificial ingredients or colours.
The drink is a deep purple red colour and has the texture and consistency of a thick fruit juice.
The bottled drinks contain Aloe Vera juice as well as the fruit juice (in this case Red Grape and Cherry) and this inclusion was a bit of a deal breaker for me. The Aloe Vera taste overpowered the rest of the juice and gave it quite a medicinal flavour which was a little unpleasant.
I drank the whole bottle but I couldn't shake the taste of the Aloe Vera juice, I think I would have really enjoyed the drink without this taste.
I like the idea of the health benefits of the juice and would certainly try an alternative flavour which didn't include the Aloe Vera juice!

"Mile High Drink"

I have to say the minute I took a sip of the drink (this particular flavour is red grape, cherry, aloe vera and ginger) it reminded me of a medicine I used to take when I was a child! I did not enjoy it. Not to say that I would not try another flavour. It is very healthy made with 100% natural ingredients and is the highest antioxidant drink in the UK, so I feel better for drinking it. I would definately try another flavour if I came across one on the supermarket shelf.

"suprisingly tasty"

I was quite surprised by how this milehigh antioxidant tasted although i thought it was quite sweet and tasted like a medication (personal view) it made me feel alive and full of energy, Mile High contains ingredients that have proven to be of benefit to the digestive system, circulation, the immune system, travel sickness and nausea so its perfect for someone with a busy lifestyle. mile high comes in various different flavours after testing this one i am keen to try the orange juice. This drink is packed with 100% natural good stuff and does not have any nasty hidden ingredients.
