With many consumers opting to make healthier beverage choices, Old Orchard Brands introduced a naturally sweetened, low-calorie Cranberry Cherry juice. Cranberries are a multitude of benefits that are beneficial to the body, but since they are so bitter, many companies overload cranberry juice drinks with sugar to cut out the tartness.

With only 55 calories per serving, Cranberry Cherry contains 50% less sugar than comparable cranberry juice blends. As part of the line of Cran Naturals, this drink is sweetened with a blend of real sugar and Truvia, a stevia leaf brand. Striking a balance between nutrition and flavor, Old Orchard Brands proves that you don't have to do away with sugar completely, as long as you're opting for the right kind.
