Calories in Vegetable Juice
Nutrition Facts

Vegetable Juice Calories
The energy value of most vegetable juices is quite low - but that is to be expected with natural foods. One cup contains close to 50 kcals.
Salt in Vegetable Juice Mixes, Cocktails & Concoctions
It's excessive in sodium content. One cup may exceed 650 milligrams of sodium. Keep in mind that the daily recommended intake level is 1,500 milligrams of salt. One serving of vegetable juice gets us almost to the half-way mark.
There are reduced sodium varieties available at the market. These typically contain 140 to under 300 milligrams of sodium and make a healthier choice of the sodium-rich vegetable juices.
Dietary Fiber & Other Nutritional Benefits
One serving contains about 2 grams of dietary fiber - not an impressive amount when compared to vegetables which hold similar amounts of calories - and close to zero sodium content.
* 10 baby carrots contain 40 kcals and almost 3 grams of dietary fiber.
* 2 cups of diced celery contain 38 kcals and 4 grams of dietary fiber.
The raw, natural foods also provide more nutritional values.
