Apple Juice Anyone?



I don't know about your house but with teens in and out of our house we go through a lot of juice and a juice staple in our house is Member's Mark 100% Apple Juice. We buy the double pack of two 96 ounce bottles from Sam's Club. We go through a lot of this juice. My whole family loves it and so do their friends. It is 100% juice unlike many fruit juices out there which contain only 10-15% fruit juice.

Here are the nutritional details:



As you can see from the label, an 8 ounce glass of Member's Mark Apple Juice has 110 calories and 0 grams of fat. It has 1% of the recommended sodium for a day and 7% of the daily recommended dose of Potasium. It also has 9% of the recommended daily intake of Carbohydrates and 0% protein. They did add extra Ascorbic Acid which is Vitamin C. An 8 ounce glass contains 130% of the daily recommended does of Vitamin C.

With that, the juice is filtered water, apple juice concentrate, and vitamin C. Yes, drinking the juice is not a substitute for eating the apple. We all know it is healthiest to eat the apple itself but when I have thirsty teenagers, I would much rather they had a glass of Member's Mark Apple Juice than a glass of a 10% juice drink or something with no fruit juice at all.

I asked my 13 year old son to describe the taste and his response was, "It tastes like eating apples without the chunks and without having to chew them." I think that sums it up pretty well.

So, we love Member's Mark 100% Apple Juice from Sam's Club and would recommend it. You don't have to be afraid of the generic store brand on this one. Enjoy!
