Juice: Apple
Calories (8-Ounce Serving): 117
Drink It For: Polyphenols (antioxidants thought to fight cancer), potassium, iron; many are fortified with vitamin C.
Keep in Mind: Apple juice tastes great, but you won’t get as many nutrients from it as from a whole apple, since much of the good stuff is in the skin.
Juice: Cranberry*
Calories (8-Ounce Serving): 116
Drink It For: Vitamin C, antioxidants, heart-healthy flavonoids, antibacterial properties.
Keep in Mind: Cranberries are tart, so most juices contain added sugar. Choose “no added sugar” to avoid extra calories.
Juice: Grape (Red)
Calories (8-Ounce Serving): 154
Drink It For: Resveratrol (a compound in red grape skins that may fight cancer), vitamin C, potassium.
Keep in Mind: Red may be a better option than white because of the resveratrol in the skins.
Juice: Grapefruit*
Calories (8-Ounce Serving): 96
Drink It For: Vitamin C, potassium, lycopene (an antioxidant), beta-carotene.
Keep in Mind: Grapefruit juice can interact with some medications, making them last longer in the bloodstream. Check your prescriptions and talk with your doctor to be on the safe side.
* These juices have a slight edge, healthwise, over the others. Ounce for ounce, they pack the most nutrients with the fewest calories.
