1 cup (medium) of Cherry juice (240 g) has 113 calories. That works out to 47 calories per 100 g. It contains 28.3 g of carbs, 1.7 g of protein, 0.5 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its 16.8 mg of Vitamin C covers 19% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 43 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Cherry juice is made by pressing ripe cherries, and its colour and flavour depend on the fruit used. Juice from sweet cherries is usually mellow and fruity, while sour-cherry juice has a sharper tang; checking the ingredients can help you tell which style you have. It is often enjoyed chilled, either on its own or poured over ice, and can also be mixed with sparkling water for a lighter, less intense drink.
It is mostly a source of carbohydrate, with little protein or fibre; 100 g provides 11.8 g of carbohydrate. Serve it at breakfast or alongside a meal, or use a small splash to add fruity flavour to a glass of plain water. If you prefer a less sweet taste, dilute it before serving.

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.

Cherry juice is not a proven sleep aid. Most sleep research has looked at tart cherry juice, not sweet cherry juice, and the evidence is limited. Drinking cherry juice should not replace regular sleep habits or treatment for ongoing sleep problems.
No. Cherry juice usually refers to juice from sweet cherries, while tart cherry juice is made from sour cherries. They differ in taste and may not have the same effects in studies, so check which type a recipe or product means.
Cherry juice has not been shown to treat gout or replace gout medication. Some research has examined cherries and tart cherry products, but the findings do not establish that sweet cherry juice prevents attacks. Ask your clinician before changing gout treatment.
To make cherry juice at home, wash and pit the cherries, blend them, then strain the mixture if you want a smooth drink. Add water to thin it if needed; extra sugar is optional because ripe cherries are already sweet.
Cherry juice is not an established recovery treatment. Research on muscle soreness and exercise recovery mainly involves tart cherry products, so those results cannot automatically be applied to sweet cherry juice. Prioritize fluids, food, and rest after exercise.
Yes, refrigerate cherry juice after opening and keep the container tightly closed. Store homemade juice in a clean, covered container and use it promptly; for bottled juice, follow the storage instructions on its packaging.
Some cherry juice has added sugar and some does not. Pure juice still contains naturally occurring fruit sugars, so check the ingredients for added sweeteners and the nutrition information to compare products.
Yes, cherry juice can be frozen in a freezer-safe container. Leave room at the top for expansion, then thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well because separation or a change in texture can occur.
Cherry juice is usually tolerated in ordinary servings, but larger amounts may cause stomach discomfort or loose stools for some people. Its natural sugars can also affect blood glucose, so people managing diabetes may need to account for it.
Cherry juice is not recommended for babies under 12 months; breast milk or infant formula should remain their main drink. For older children, offer small amounts rather than making juice a routine substitute for water or whole fruit.
