1 cup (medium) of Fruit and vegetable juice (240 g) has 38 calories. That works out to 16 calories per 100 g. It contains 11.5 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 43.2 mg of Vitamin C covers 48% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 48 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Fruit and vegetable juice is made by pressing or blending a mix of produce; the ingredients, colour and flavour vary with the recipe. Homemade versions might combine carrots or tomatoes with apple or citrus, while packaged blends differ, so the ingredient list is the best guide to what is in the glass.
It is served chilled at breakfast or as a quick drink alongside a light meal, and works well with toast, sandwiches or a savoury snack. The mix can provide vitamin C and potassium, but its nutritional profile depends on the fruits and vegetables used. For a less sweet choice, look for a blend with more vegetables and no added sugar; blending rather than straining also keeps more of the fruit and vegetable pulp.

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.

Fruit and vegetable juice can provide nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, but it usually contains much less fiber than whole produce. Treat it as one part of a varied diet, not a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables.
No, fruit and vegetable juice is not a full replacement for whole produce. Juicing removes much of the fiber, while whole fruits and vegetables provide fiber and usually keep you satisfied for longer.
Fruit and vegetable juice may count toward fruit-and-vegetable guidance in some countries, but the rules vary and often limit how much counts. It should not replace most of your servings, since juicing removes much of the fiber.
Fruit and vegetable juice can contain a notable amount of natural sugar, especially when it contains a lot of fruit. Because much of the fiber is removed, the sugar is less bound up in the whole food; choose blends without added sugar.
Wash and chop the produce, then run it through a juicer to make fruit and vegetable juice. A blender also works: blend with a little water and strain if you want a smoother drink, or leave the pulp in for more fiber.
Homemade fruit and vegetable juice is best consumed soon after making it. If you need to store it, refrigerate it promptly in a clean, airtight container; its flavor and some nutrients can decline as it sits.
Yes, fruit and vegetable juice can be frozen in a freezer-safe container with room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator, use it soon afterward, and avoid refreezing it; the texture may separate, so stir before drinking.
Fruit and vegetable juice is not a reliable weight-loss shortcut. It is easy to drink quickly and provides less fiber than whole produce, so it may be less filling; choosing whole fruits and vegetables can make meals more satisfying.
No, fruit and vegetable juice does not detox the body. Your liver and kidneys handle the body's normal waste processing; juice can contribute nutrients, but a juice-only cleanse can leave your diet short of important foods and fiber.
Fruit and vegetable juice can be a convenient source of carbohydrate before exercise, but it may not suit everyone just before a workout. If it bothers your stomach, have it earlier or choose a familiar snack with more staying power.
