Mamma Chia Chia Squeeze, Green Magic flavor

Jillian, 9th grade: The Mamma Chia Chia Squeeze was a bit slimy, but I liked it since it was kind of similar to the inside of a passionfruit. It tasted mostly like blackberries, but it could have been a little more flavorful. I really liked the taste! Mostly teens and adults would like this product, since kids might not be into the texture as much as older kids. Most appealing to health-conscious people.

Morgan, 9th grade: My, my, how can I resist you?  If anyone got my Abba “Mamma Mia” song reference, you’ll understand that this is a delicious new product. I love the packaging so much! The colors that the producers chose for this product are begging for one’s attention! I love the visuals of chia seeds on it so you know exactly what you might be eating. I also like the fact that it is portable and resealable. I think mothers with on-the-go children would really enjoy the fact that they could just toss a healthy, energizing snack into a lunch bag. I enjoyed this product a lot. I was expecting it to taste more like applesauce, but it pleasantly surprised me with the taste of all sorts of fruit.

Brian, 12th grade: The packaging is small and easy to carry. I like how it is loose and light. I would say this product is mainly for adults because of the acquired taste it has. The texture is lumpy; strange yet appealing. I like it! It tastes like apple juice.

Michael, 12th grade: Chia Squeeze has an appealing look to it. Slim design, top is very cool. It looks like it is well known; not just some generic brand. It smells like a smoothie; sweet smelling with apples, kiwi, mango and pineapple. The texture, however, is strange.  It is not as thick as applesauce; it is fairly runny. Not a bad feeling, but it is just different. The taste is not very sweet but it is good. It has a very fruity flavor. It tastes like a watery smoothie.

Lukas, 12th grade: Overall, the packaging is appealing. However, the “Green magic” [variety] makes me question what it is. The taste is light, with just a hint of sweetness. I would prefer either no sweetness or more; the in between makes it seem watered down. The texture is very strange. It enhances the perceived freshness of the product. Because of the green tea-healthy aspect, adults would like this product. However, things in this sort of packaging are usually given to kids.

Dustin, 12th grade: I feel like the taste could be stronger. The cinnamon is noticeable but not too strong. The texture makes it hard to swallow. The product looks really good on the outside, and it is easy to open, but I would not buy it.

Kenneth, 12th grade: The color scheme is extremely eye-catching. The strawberry banana Mamma Chia vitality snack has a great flavor with a sensational texture. This is a healthy snack for all ages.

Elli, 9th grade: The taste and smell of Chia Squeeze are kind of bland, so you don’t know what to expect. I feel like it should taste more like fruit. I really like the color and design of the package. However, it was very hard to twist the cap off and hurt my hands. I would say little kids would like this because it is quick and easy to pack.
