Ingredients and evidence

Both of these beverages offer a harmonious blend of fruits and vegetables, featuring ingredients like apple, mango, pineapple, banana, kiwi, as well as broccoli, spinach, wheatgrass, parsley, and kale. Additionally, they include spirulina and ginger root, along with a type of garlic that is described as odorless. The primary distinction between the two is that the Trader Joe's version incorporates blue-green algae and chlorella (a so-called superfood supplement), which is absent from the Naked Juice bottle, while the Naked variant includes alfalfa and kale instead.
However, this isn't merely conjecture or investigative speculation. The Freedom of Information Act has been utilized by some truth-seekers, revealing that Naked Juice and Trader Joe's have had a productive partnership at various points over the years. There is also evidence suggesting that the store's Mango Juice Smoothie is likely a twin to Naked Juice's Mighty Mango smoothie.
In terms of pricing, these products are quite similar—both costing around $3 (though Naked Juice's Green Machine comes in a 15.2-ounce bottle, while the Trader Joe's smoothie offers a bit more at a full 16-ounce pint). If you find the lack of transparency regarding private label products at Trader Joe's to be somewhat frustrating, you can likely make this purchase without needing to question the origin of your bottle.
