  1. I realize that fruit juices have natural sugar in
    them..... but cant they take some sugar out and make
    them "lower" carb?

    And.... is there any lower carb FROZEN fruit juices one
    can buy?

  2. Sure, but then they're not "juice"... they're fruit flavorage beverages.

    Kool-aid etc.

    Low Carb Fruit Juice would be an Oxymoron.

  4. I saw some Old Orchard juice w/ Splenda in it. Also there's a lower
    sugar Hawaiian Punch that replaces some sugar w/
    Splenda.

  5. I seem to remember that Tropicana or Florida Naturals - somebody like that -
    had advertised a lower carb orange-juice. The commercial had the oranges
    all working out before they jumped into the bottle.

    The name of the product had "essentials" in it.

    Have never seen it in my store though - although, the alternate store in my
    area has Dreamfields pasta, so maybe I should look closer for other products
    there. :-)

    You can make any fruit juice low-carb by diluting it with water. :o)

    Fruit juice isn't a good option for anyone, low-carber or not, imo. You
    get a lot more sugar and a lot less fiber than you would if you just ate a
    piece of fruit.

    I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

  7. Knudsen has the lowest of carbs--get the ones that are labeled "Just
    Cranberry" etc. Still high though at 18 carbs per 8oz.

  8. A good substitute is Sparkling Ice. These are delicious and very low carb.
    Store finder at their site, I can get them either at Sam's Club or Costco
    here. http://www.talkingrain.com/PRODUCTS/SPARKLINGICE/

    I saw low carb orange juice at BJs in the refridgerated section.

  10. Real Lemon juice concentrate in the green bottle--with water and Splenda to
    taste and it's great no-carb lemonade. A few ice cubes plus a few jiggers of
    Vodka (or rum for summer) and it's an even better cocktail.

  11. The closest thing I have found to real fruit juice is Diet V8 Splash
    Tropical blend made with splenda. It is really good.

    I don't know about frozen fruit juice, but...

    I like Old Orchard "LoCarb" 64oz bottled fruit juice.
    I missed cranberry juice. Hubby saw this and got one for me a month ago.
    I'm enjoying it.
    It has 6g carbs per 8 oz glass. However, I find that it's a little sweet.
    I actually like it better half water/half juice which makes it 3g carbs per
    8oz glass.
    Apple Cranberry
    The ingrediants sound good, too:
    "Filtered water, apple juice concentrate, cranberry juice concentrate,
    aronia berry juice concentrate, fumaric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid
    (vit c), sucralose (splenda)."

    I've been drinking Crystal Light Orange Sunrise. It does
    have aspartame instead of Splenda, but I only have it once
    or twice a week. It's the closest thing to orange juice
    that I've found and it has 100% MDR of vitamin C added.

  15. How do you figure it's no carb? My bottle of lemon juice lists 0.3g carbs
    per teaspoon. I realize that's not a large amount of carbs, but surely it
    takes more than one teaspoon? Also Splenda has 0.5g carbs per teaspoon. At
    this rate, I may as well have Crystal Light!
    Just my two cents,

    Ocean Spray makes a "light" white cranberry juice and grapefruit juice.
    The carb and calorie count is about the same as V8.

    I keep some around for the odd time when I just simply *must* have fruit
    juice. :-)

    Haven't seen any, myself.

  17. Sorry, I missed the beginning of this thread.

    We were at WalMart tonight, and Crash spotted Hood's Carb Countdown Orange
    Juice. 5 grams of carbs per cup. Also comes in Orange-Pineapple and Pink
    Grapefruit. I haven't tasted the orange juice yet, but will report back
    when I do.

    Okay, I just poured a small glass. Imagine real orange juice combined with
    diet Tang. It's certainly workable for me, to have with Trey's Best
    Morning Flaxcakes (I think I got that right) with Log Cabin sugar free
    maple syrup and some bacon or sausage. Nice breakfast!

    Something I love, is making iced tea out of the fruitier herb teas
    like Red Zinger or Lemon Zinger - very refreshing and hits the "fruity
    drink" spot.

    Having a few bladder infections in recent years cured me of any love
    of cranberry juice. Forever.
