I recently bought a Whipper Snapple 'fruit' smoothie. I thought it would be a good substitute for juice, but I read the bottle and it said it was only 15 per cent real juice. Snapple markets these drinks as fruit drinks. I don't think this is right. Street Cents response Fruit drinks such as Fruitopia, Snapple and Ocean Spray are mostly sugar and water, with a little bit of fruit.
Some drinks contain as little as two or three tablespoons of fruit juice per bottle.
Some drinks with the word 'fruit' on the label don't have any real fruit at all. But food labelling laws allow these exaggerated claims. So, always be sure to read the label of a fruit drink before buying it. Otherwise, that fruit drink may not be a healthy choice.
