⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The concentrated natural sugars (over 8g per 100g) can cause rapid blood-sugar spikes, making it a concern for diabetics or those monitoring glycemic response. To counteract this, always pair it with a source of protein or fat (like nuts or yogurt) to slow sugar absorption, and strictly practice portion control by diluting it with sparkling water or limiting intake to a small glass.

FAQ
Is this the same as orange juice?
Not necessarily. A 'citrus blend' can include juice from oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, and tangerines in varying proportions, creating a more complex flavor than single-fruit juice.
Does it have any pulp?
The nutritional data provided (0.3g fiber per 100g) suggests it is a strained, pulp-free juice, resulting in a completely smooth texture.
Why is it lower in calories than some whole fruits?
The juicing process removes the fiber-rich pulp, concentrating the liquid and sugars. Without the fiber to add bulk and slow digestion, the calorie density per volume can be higher, but a serving size is typically smaller than eating several whole fruits.
