How It Works

How to Estimate Juice Nutrition

Formulas

Juice Volume = Produce Weight x Yield %

Calories = Juice Volume x Calories per 100 mL / 100

Juice Yields

  • Citrus: ~70% juice yield
  • Apples, carrots: ~60%
  • Leafy greens: ~50%
  • Watermelon: ~80%

    • Juicing removes most fiber, so juice is higher in sugar per serving than whole fruit.

    Worked Example

    Juice 300 g of apples.

    produce_weight_g = 300juice_yield_pct = 60cal_per_100ml = 46
    1. 01Juice yield: 300 x 60% = 180 mL.
    2. 02Calories: 180 x 46/100 = 82.8 kcal.
    3. 03Approx. sugar: 180 x 0.1 = 18 g.
