Calories in Prune Juice
It tends to be one of the highest-calorie juices at 180 to over 200 calories per one eight-ounce serving, depending upon the brand purchased.
There are a ton of prune juice jokes floating in the humble villages of earth. One of my favorites involves Worf of Star Trek fame. Guinan offered him a glass and he liked it so much that he asked her what it was called. After she told him, he put down the glass and announced in his deep voice, "Prune juice! A warrior's drink!"
It was one of the funniest lines in the Star Trek series, in my humble opinion. Or course, the character Worf was played by Michael Dorn and Guinan by Woopi Goldberg.
Prune Juice for Constipation
And it's also frequently associated with old folks like myself who are challenged frequently with regularity.
Prune juice is all about the dietary fiber content in this situation. It contains 2.6 grams. However, dried prunes actually make the wiser calorie choice at 3 grams per 1/4 cup - which works out to be about five prunes. Energy value is less than half of that for the juice at 100 kcals.
Let me impress you a bit more if it's dietary fiber you're seeking...
A 1/4th cup of pinto beans contains 5 fiber grams along with 90 kcals and 7 grams of protein.
