Costco shelves are buzzing with a new must-have item, and it’s not a giant pizza or a bulk pack of paper towels. Shoppers are recommending Natural Benefits Mango Passionfruit Juice with Konjac Pearls, calling it a ‘boba alternative.’ This exciting find, spotted by one Redditor at the Glen Burnie, MD warehouse, comes in a two-pack and is quickly becoming a fan favorite.
The enthusiastic Costco shopper recently took to Reddit to share their delight: “If you like boba, highly recommend the Natural Benefits Mango Passionfruit juice w/ konjac pearls.I don’t know why I get so obsessed with these bc they never seem to carry them for long, but man is this good. Comes in a two pack.”
The user admitted a slight mystery about the ingredients but confirmed the craveable experience. “I have no idea what konjac pearls are but it definitely scratches the same taste/texture itch as boba, if that’s your jam (it’s definitely mine),” they added. Konjac pearls, often used as a jelly-like, low-calorie alternative to tapioca pearls, provide that satisfying chewiness boba fans adore.
The Reddit post exploded with enthusiastic reactions, revealing the drink’s versatility and widespread appeal. One commenter suggested a grown-up twist: “Also really good w/ rum and sparkling water.” Others expressed eager anticipation, with comments like “Interesting. I would try it,” and “Exactly what I was looking for.”

The mango portion of the juice resonated with international dessert aficionados. One user shared a connection to a beloved Chinese delicacy: “I put a lot of [Yang Zhi Gan Lu – a popular mango pomelo sago dessert] in my stomach every time I visit China… Last time had a low-additional sugar version of this at a Michelin star restaurant in Beijing. The natural sweetness of ripe mango was heavenly.”
The desire for this unique beverage is clear, as shoppers hope it appears in their local stores. “The one other one they had was also very good. I hope this one shows up at my warehouse,” one Reddit user commented. Another echoed a common Costco fear: limited availability. “That was really delicious. Truly, I wish I knew where to buy this other than Costco, because I’ll be said when it inevitably goes away.”
This burgeoning popularity suggests that the mango passionfruit juice with konjac pearls is more than just a passing trend. It’s proof of Costco’s ability to introduce exciting, craveable products that resonate deeply with its dedicated customer base. Grab a two-pack on your next trip if you spot it – it might not be there for long.
