↓ Full nutrition💚 Why it's loved
People love it for its familiar, crowd-pleasing taste that's both sweet and slightly tart, perfect for a quick refreshment. It's a versatile drink enjoyed chilled on its own, as a breakfast staple, or as a base for cocktails and mocktails.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
Its high natural sugar content can cause a rapid blood-sugar spike, making it less ideal for those monitoring glucose levels. To mitigate this, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like nuts or yogurt) to slow sugar absorption, and practice portion control.
Key benefits
- Provides a quick source of natural energy from fruit sugars.
- Contains added ascorbic acid (vitamin C), an antioxidant.

💡 Did you know?
The addition of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is primarily to prevent oxidation, which would otherwise cause the juice to turn brown and lose its fresh flavor.

FAQ
Is this juice the same as 'apple grape cocktail'?
Not necessarily. A 'cocktail' or 'drink' may contain less actual juice, added water, sweeteners, and artificial flavors. This product is a 'juice blend' with added vitamin C, suggesting a higher juice content.
Why is vitamin C added if it's already in fruit?
Vitamin C is added as a preservative (antioxidant) to maintain the juice's fresh color and flavor by preventing oxidation, especially after the packaging is opened.
Is this a good source of fiber?
No. With only 0.2g of fiber per 100g, this juice has been stripped of most of the fiber found in whole apples and grapes, which is why the sugars are absorbed quickly.
