1 cup (medium) of Blackberry juice (unsweetened) (200 g) has 70 calories. That works out to 35 calories per 100 g. It contains 16.4 g of carbs, 0.8 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat and 3 g of fiber. Its 36 mg of Vitamin C covers 40% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 40 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Unsweetened blackberry juice is made by crushing or pressing ripe blackberries, sometimes with water added to make a lighter drink. With no added sugar, its flavour comes from the fruit: berry-rich, tart and gently sweet, with a deep colour. Depending on how it is prepared, it may be clear or retain some pulp.
Serve it chilled at breakfast or as a refreshing drink between meals; in places where blackberries are gathered or grown, it is also a familiar way to preserve their seasonal flavour. It has a relatively light energy content—about 35 calories per 100 g—and retains some of the fruit’s fibre when pulp is left in. Dilute it with sparkling or still water for an easy, less intense drink, or pair it with plain yoghurt.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, unsweetened blackberry juice can contribute vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds. It is still juice rather than whole fruit, so it usually provides less fiber and may be less filling than eating blackberries.
Yes, it can contain naturally occurring sugars from the blackberries even when no sugar is added. “Unsweetened” means there is no added sweetener; it does not mean the drink is sugar-free.
Blend ripe blackberries with a little water, then strain the mixture if you want a smoother drink. For a cooked version, gently heat the berries until soft, mash them, and strain; skip sugar to keep it unsweetened.
Pass unsweetened blackberry juice through a fine-mesh sieve or a clean nut-milk bag to remove most seeds and pulp. Avoid pressing the solids too hard if you want a clearer, less astringent-tasting juice.
Keep opened unsweetened blackberry juice tightly covered in the refrigerator and use it within a few days, especially if it is homemade. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes.
Yes, unsweetened blackberry juice freezes well. Leave room for expansion in a freezer-safe container, or freeze it in small portions; thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before serving if it separates.
Unsweetened blackberry juice is the juice of the fruit without added sugar. Blackberry cordial is generally a sweetened concentrate or syrup meant to be diluted, so it is not a direct substitute if you want to avoid added sugar.
Unsweetened blackberry juice tastes tart because blackberries have natural fruit acids, and the drink has no added sugar to soften that flavor. Riper berries generally taste less sharp than under-ripe ones.
Yes, unsweetened blackberry juice works in cocktails, mocktails, and smoothies. Its tart berry flavor pairs well with citrus, sparkling water, or yogurt; add it gradually so it does not overpower milder ingredients.
Babies under 12 months should not be given fruit juice, including unsweetened blackberry juice. For older children, whole blackberries are usually a more filling option; serve them in an age-appropriate form to reduce choking risk.
