I crave something cold and sweet these days and i had a glass of tropicana yesterday. Then started wondering about the sugar content and preservatives in packaged juice. Anyone know if its okay to have during pregnancy?
Packaged juice is okay once in a while but it has a lot of sugar yaar. I preferred fresh squeezed orange or just whole fruit. Have tropicana occasionally if u like, dont make it a daily thing.
I would be careful with packaged juices honestly, they are high in sugar and that matters a lot if your sugar is being watched. Fresh fruit is a better bet. Please check with your doctor if youre tracking sugar.
Nothing harmful in it as such, but its more sugar than nutrition. A glass sometimes is fine. If you want hydration and vitamins, whole fruits and water are the smarter choice during pregnancy.
I craved chilled juice so badly in my second trimester haha. I would have a small glass to satisfy it but mostly switched to fresh nimbu pani and real oranges. Balance hi balance.
