Fruit can be both positive and negative when working towards weight loss. It is commonly known how high the content of natural sugar is in the majority of fruits, so what are the best fruits to choose when drinking juice while focusing on a healthy lifestyle.

At FitFarms we focus on the importance of enjoyment, variety, portion control and balance within your diet. Our nutrition team run a variety of workshops to teach you how to adapt a balanced and healthy diet into your lifestyle.

Best Fruits To Juice

Grapefruits are great for weight loss. They are low in calories, high in fibre, a source of vitamin C and full of antioxidants. Allowing a calorie dense juice, perfect to start the morning off with or take with you whilst exercising.

Lemons act as a detoxifier for the body, another great fruit for weight loss. Adding lemons into your juices allows a refreshing low calorie added taste, while supporting your health through weight loss.

Oranges are a great sweet addition to your juices. They are high in fibre, vitamin C and boost your immune system to support weight loss.

Apples and berries are also great to add into your juices, low in calories and supporting weight loss.

Portioning Sugar Content

Most fruit is high in natural sugar, which is something people shy away from through weight loss. However, we need sugar in our diet, but the same as any food, it is still important to portion our daily intake. Learn more about the difference between added and natural sugar here.

Within each portion of juice aim for around 12-15 grams of sugar, which is around equivalent to 1 orange.

Make sure to be wary about the amount of fruit you're putting in each juice and all the benefits that come alongside will maintain to boost and support your healthy lifestyle journey.
