Alright, guys, let’s dive into something I checked out recently – the carb content in those Mott’s 6.75 oz juice boxes. I’ve been trying to keep a closer eye on what I’m consuming, and these little juice boxes are a regular in my routine.
So, first off, I grabbed one of these Mott’s apple juice boxes. These things are pretty convenient, right? They’re small, easy to carry around, and I usually just toss one in my bag for a quick drink later. The packaging says it’s 100% apple juice, which sounds great because I thought I am getting something healthy.
I flipped the box over to look at the nutritional information. I see that in one 6.75 oz serving, there are about 24 grams of total carbohydrates. Under that, it lists 23 grams of total sugars and, thankfully, 0 grams of added sugars. What else? And that means pretty much all the carbs are coming from the natural sugars in the apple juice. That’s a bunch of sugar, right?
Then I started to dig a bit more. I found some chatter online saying that some of the apple juice, including Mott’s, might be sourced from China. I know that some people might be concerned about that. But let’s not dive into that rabbit hole now.
- Serving size: 6.75 oz
- Total carbs: 24g
- Total sugars: 23g
- No added sugars
I also noticed that these juices have a “best by” date stamped on the cap. That’s pretty standard, but it’s good to know they’re keeping track of freshness.
One thing I wanted to figure out was how these numbers stack up against daily intake recommendations. The USDA says we should aim for about 2 cups of fruit a day on a 2,000-calorie diet. An 8 oz cup of Mott’s apparently counts as 2 servings of fruit, so this 6.75 oz box is a bit less than that, maybe around 1.5 servings of fruit? That’s useful to know when I am trying to hit my daily fruit goals.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little investigation into these Mott’s juice boxes. It’s always good to know what we’re drinking, especially when it comes to things like sugar and carbs. I might need to rethink how often I grab one of these, considering that sugar content. But for now, at least I’m more informed about what’s in my juice.
Key Takeaways
- Mott’s 6.75 oz juice boxes have 24g of carbs, mostly from natural sugars.
- Each box is a bit less than 2 servings of fruit.
- It’s good to be mindful of the sugar content in these convenient drinks.
Hope this helps someone out there! Let me know if you guys have done any digging into your favorite drinks, too. It’s always interesting to see what we find out!
