Calories in Cranberry Juice
Carbs & Fat Grams

Sweet or Natural?
While it's best to go as natural as possible for optimum health, Cranberry Juice Cocktail contains only 20-plus kcals more than the unsweetened variety. And yes - these values will differ from brand to brand.
So is that little extra kick of sugar too sweet for your weight loss plan?
Let's face it; if twenty, thirty or even fifty kcals is apt to blow a diet, then it's probably already mined with holes in the sails, right?
Speaking of sugar, one cup of this sweet brew contains about 30 grams - but it also contains many healthy elements.
For example - those eight sexy milligrams of calcium that can work to support your bone health - as well as luetein and zeaxanthin which can assist in keeping your vision as sharp as a tack.
What about those awesome 35 milligrams of potassium? And where's all the fat? Oh yeah, it hitched a ride on that fast food cheeseburger that whizzed by a few minutes ago. Fast, wasn't it? Bet ya didn't even see it. Well, to be honest, neither did we. Isn't the imagination a wonderful tool?
Back to those nutrition facts. If we want to sob and get all sad and weirded-out, then we can talk about the zero fiber grams contained in this super juice. Or the goose eggs for protein grams. But oh my - all those other benefits sure do rock the boat - and in an excellent 'weigh'.
Soda or Juice?
While you are turning your body into a siren, opting for juice makes a much wiser choice over soda. You can even opt for the unsweetened juices - and if necessary, you can add a pack of your favorite sugar substitute for 'goose egg calories'.
Just the Nutrition Facts, Ma'am
