We’ve all heard the expression, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” but in actual fact the more fruit you eat, the better. This is where 100% natural fruit juice comes in handy. Drinking a helping of freshly squeezed juice can easily tally up to four fruits in one go.

Not only are 100% juices naturally nutritious, they are a smart addition to any well-balanced diet. Which comes to no surprise seeing as there are no sugars added to 100% fruit juice and it’s packed with vitamins and minerals like potassium, vitamin C and folate.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

We all have a morning routine. Some mornings are just more frantic than others. Whether there are lunches to pack, backpacks to find or you’ve overslept, 100% fruit juice is an easy-on-the-go solution for breakfast. One glass of 100% juice is equal to two fruit servings (one-half cup of 100% fruit juice is equal to one fruit serving) with no added sugar. Why not get creative and add low fat yogurt topped with muesli to give you that extra boost of energy to face the day head on.

The best part about 100% fruit juice, is that you can drink it guilt free. This is because of all those nutrients found in fruit that speed up the metabolism.

So, concerned parents don’t have to worry because 100% fruit juice does not affect the weight gain in children. In fact, children who regularly drink 100% fruit juice lower their intake of other artificial sweet foods and are more likely to have a healthier eating pattern.

Orange you glad you chose juice.

Whole fruit is still the best option when compared to juice. It has more fiber. However, the possibilities of fruit juice combinations are endless. You can get really creative and indulge in all kinds of fruit with a variety of nutrients. Red grape juice, cranberry juice and especially pomegranate juice are crammed with lots of antioxidants that protect against cancer and heart disease.

Quench your thirst with black currant juice, lower your blood pressure and improve your skin condition at the same time. For even better results, don’t peel your fruit before you make your favourite juice. The secret is to drink your juice straight from the juicer or at least on the same day that you made it. The reason is that most of the health benefits of freshly squeezed juice are lost after 24 hours.
