When you pick up a bottle of juice at the store, how do you know if you are buying the best for your kids? The easiest way is to take a look at the label. If you see “juice cocktail”, “drink” or beverage on the label, it means the juice contains less than 100% juice (and sometimes as little as 5%!). Look at the label closely; water, flavorings, and sweeteners are probably making up the rest. 100% juice or 100% pure means that the juice is “pure” juice. However, you should know that these juice blends are usually made with apple and grape juice as their first ingredient even if you aren’t having that kind of juice. Lastly, if you buy “light” juice, you may be in for a rude awakening. These light versions usually contain less sugar and fewer calories. They are usually diluted with water and/or sweeteners. They are usually priced the same as regular juice. If you are wanting light juice, I would highly suggest that you buy regular juice and dilute it yourself at home. You can save calories and money too!
