Three cheers to Juicy Juice! They came out with a new product called Juicy Juice Sparkling Fruit Juice that is sure to be a hit with ‘tweens and teens and even adults too.
I don’t allow my kids to drink soda with the exception of friend’s houses, birthday parties or if we eat out. When they are at home they drink water, milk and fruit juices that are made with 100% fruit juice (or close to it). I don’t think they need to fill up on sugary sweet soda. They also don’t need those empty calories that have no nutritional value whatsoever.
Juicy Juice has came out with a new product line called Juicy Juice Sparkling Fruit Juice. It’s carbonated fruit juice. As far as my kids are concerned it’s soda.
Juicy Juice sent me a few samples for my kids to try. We received Apple, Berry & Orange. I personally tried a few sips of Apple and Orange. My kids never gave me a chance to try out Berry.
The Orange tasted exactly like Orange soda, except this was Orange Juice. The Apple, of course, tasted just like Apple Juice, except it was bubbly like soda.
Juicy Juice Sparkling Fruit Juice contains 70% real fruit juice, 30% water and each can equals one fruit serving.
I checked out the ingredients and I do not see sugar or a sugar like product listed in the ingredients. The ingredients are rather simple is you ask me. I can pronounce them and there are no questionable additives. The Sparkling Fruit Juices do contain 20 grams of sugar but I assume that is from the fruit juice since no sugar is added.
Each can is only 90 calories.
I checked out the ingredients of a popular orange flavored soda and found this…
Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), food starch-modified, natural flavors, caffeine, glycerol ester of wood rosin, ascorbic acid (preservative), yellow 6, red 40.
Where is the actual orange flavoring? I don’t even see that mentioned. There is also caffeine and ingredients I rather my kids NOT consume including the dyes. There are also 52 grams of sugar and 190 calories per can.
Here is the ingredients list from the Juicy Juice Sparking Fruit Juice orange juice…
Ingredients:Apple Juice, Orange Juice and Tangerine Juice (Water, Juice Concentrate), water and less then .05% of natural flavors, citric acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and carbonation added. There are 20 grams of sugar and 90 calories.
Both drinks taste identical for the most part! My kids thought it was orange soda. They had no clue it was orange juice that was carbonated, nor did they seem to care. To them it was soda and they were happy.
Now I don’t have to be a “mean Mom” and deny my kids from drinking the sparkling carbonated beverages that they enjoy. I still won’t let them drink it daily but I will be OK with letting them have a can or two each week.
Thanks Juicy Juice for coming up with such a fantastic product. My kids LOVE the new Juicy Juice Sparkling Fruit Juices and cannot wait for me to buy more.
For more information please visit www.JuicyJuice.com and click on the Sparkling Juice tab found on the left side bar.

this is great! I don’t have kids yet, and the ones around me are still small. but I love soda as well. it’s addicting. I’m trying to cut most of it out though and drink more chocolate milk, water, juices, or sprite if soda.

My kids are “tweens” so they don’t drink much juice anymore, but I think they would love these! Fortunately, they still drink water and milk, with the occasional soda.
