Spied in M&S.
Ingredients:
Cucumber Juice, Spinach Juice, Celery Juice, Lime Juice, Kale Juice, Aloe Vera Juice, Mint Juice, Parsley Juice, Spirulina Powder, Hemp Poder, Concentrated Spirulina and Chlorella Powder.
25kcals per 250ml bottle.
I suppose, for me, I find the name and implications of the product kind of icky.
Why would I want to drink something for punishment?
Should we be suggesting consuming vegetables is a punishment?
The packaging states "All your greens in one dos" but actually counts as 1 of your 5 a day.
Anyway – discuss!
(I did buy this FOR SCIENCE and only managed one sip – it is truly unpleasant. And I generally enjoy 'health' stuff)

It’s only the fact it’s 1 of your 5 a day that I find especially annoying
I can’t get mad at the name because as you said, it’s “truly unpleasant” so the name seems fair & accurate.
It’s not just you, I saw this at the weekend and found it a strange name. I’m all good on the punishment front. I assumed it would make me spontaneously combust on the bog so I declined to buy it.
The name is very strange. And it doesn’t make me want to buy it.
I’m guessing the “punishment” is for people who have been partying all weekend, and now feel like shit, so they see this on a Monday morning and down it to try and get some nourishment into their bodies.
It’s the type of thing I’d buy and reluctantly drink when I’m coming down from a hard weekend.
Am I the only person that likes and willingly choses these drinks?

My friend sent a pic of this in our group chat the other day, the only question I have is what makes it ‘punishment’? It makes it sound like it tastes bad, or is really spicy or something. From what I can see it’s just… a juice blend?
This feels like it’s called “punishment juice” to appeal to fragile masculinity
Looks like I’m in a minority but I find it funny. Probably not a lot of people drink these green juices because they like the taste so much but because they consider them healthy. This marketing just pushes that further / says what maybe even people drinking those juices are thinking. Nor sure if it’s the best strategy but I would try it, lol.
Yeah I’m never gonna buy something like this. What’s wrong with just eating vegetable?
I tried it, regrettably.
It was genuinely the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely rancid.
Don’t do it. Try the AM lions mane shot instead.
I 100% read this as containing cholera, which would be punishment juice
Punishment juice and the first ingredient I read as cholera… Yeah think I’ll pass
What’s the price? Let me guess, knowing nked and similar, my guess is £3.50 for the tiny bottle.
Kinky
I will never understand people who bland cabbage squash and seaweed with water and fight back tears drinking it rather than cooking a proper meal or a salad. Hun, if you tried cooked veggies or a well seasoned salad you’d stop crying that you don’t like vegetables. You have vegetables because you blend random green stuff into a slurry
I almost bought this for an experiment yesterday but assumed it’d taste like liquid fart so passed on it. Glad to know I made the right choice.
Not surprised it’s called ‘punishment’…spirulina is absolutely vile 😖🤮
It contains Sydney Sweeney’s farts
For the one dose of greens. According to the official advice, one portion is all that is recommended of greens specifically. Obviously you would still need 4 others but this can be non green veg, fruits and berries and such. So *technically* it’s not a lie.
If there actually was a drink that provided the genuine benefits of eating lots of cruciferous greens in one go, I’d buy it, pretty much regardless of taste. This doesn’t seem to do that though.
What a name
Compared to other green juices I find this quite pleasant. And it’s healthy because of the low sugar. The only thing that’s keeping it from being great is the lack of fibre.
I had a green smoothie today
Tasted like lawn trimmings but I feel better for it
It is obviously marketed toward the ‘no pain no gain’ gym & wellness weirdos
Try the new strawberry still lemonade instead its much nicer.
The punishment juice doesn’t look very appealing (name and colour)

It’s a Punishment because it’s gross. Not because it’s specifically veg.
But I wouldn’t worry, only the crunchiest of mums is trying to give that to a child.
Sounds like a fast track to a kidney stone!
That must taste like alien spunk
What’s up babe you’ve hardly touched your punishment juice
Hmm interesting name but I think I may just trump you OP lol – I saw THIS the other day!! 😳😳😳

I think they’re underestimating the amount of people who don’t have a sense of humor and will find this not very good. I quite like it. Bit of fun, isn’t it?
[‘No one would have eaten Filboid Studge as a pleasure, but the grim austerity of its advertisement drove housewives in shoals to the grocers’ shops to clamour for an immediate supply. In small kitchens solemn pig-tailed daughters helped depressed mothers to perform the primitive ritual of its preparation. On the breakfast-tables of cheerless parlours it was partaken of in silence. Once the womenfolk discovered that it was thoroughly unpalatable, their zeal in forcing it on their households knew no bounds.’](https://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/FilStu.shtml)
