Maaza – 150ml

The Maaza 150ml pack is the direct rival to the Frooti 150ml. It is widely regarded as the “thicker” mango drink and is the go-to choice for those who prefer the taste of Alphonso mangoes.

• MRP: ₹10 per unit.

Key Ingredients:

💡 Maaza vs. Frooti (150ml Battle)

• Taste: Maaza is generally sweeter and thicker, mimicking the texture of a mango shake. Frooti is slightly more “tangy” and lighter.

• Pulp Content: Maaza usually edges out Frooti slightly in pulp percentage (19.5% vs. ~11-18% in some Frooti variants), which contributes to that heavier mouthfeel.

• Packaging: Both are primarily available in the classic Tetra Pack for this size, though Maaza’s “Refresh” variant is sometimes found in small 150ml PET bottles in specific regions.

🧊 Pro-Tip

Because Maaza is thicker, the pulp settles more than in other drinks. Shake the Tetra Pack vigorously before inserting the straw to ensure you don’t end up with just “flavored water” at the top and a thick sludge at the bottom.
