Here are a few ways to incorporate healthy juices into your daily lifestyle.

Adults should refer to the nutrition facts panel to check the calories in juice, and adjust intake to align with their personal diet. Up to half of your daily recommended fruit intake can come from juice, according to the 2015 – 2020 Dietary Guidelines.
