Cranberry juice is a tasty, refreshing fruit drink, but many people don’t realize that it is also quite healthy. The best cranberry juice should be 100% juice with no preservatives, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. Quite often you will find that many brands of cranberry juice are in fact only 30% juice, and not all of it cranberry, with the remainder of the beverage made from sweeteners and water.
Essentially, one cup of cranberries contains around 46 calories. The juice is packed with nutrients like Vitamin C, dietary fiber, antioxidants, phytochemical nutrients, etc. that help keep you fit and fine. It is recommended that you drink at least one glass a day to attain all the health benefits of cranberry juice.
