I have recently been suffering from a variety of colds and bugs, which is a fairly regular occurrence thanks to my ongoing health problems and resulting compromised immune system. At times when I am feeling rather under the weather, I tend to try and 'top up' my daily intake of vitamins and nutrients as much as possible, and one way of doing so - that has proven quite successful for me personally - is by choosing to drink more natural fruit-based drinks over sugar-filled fizzy alternatives. I like to think that by choosing drinks that are slightly healthier for me, I am going some way to adding a little nutritional goodness into my daily diet. The downside ...  Read the complete review

~~What is it?~~ It is a fruit drink/nectar made with cranberry juice by the company Ocean Spray. It is the original of a range of cranberry based products. ~~What does it taste like?~~ Cranberry juice drink has a lovely dry, 'grown-up' taste to it - that same tartness you get with wine with none of the alcohol and less of the calories. It is still sweet enough for most children to enjoy - I have not found a kid that dislikes it yet, although it may not be their first choice. It mixes very well with sparkling water, other fruit juices, smoothies, and some alcoholic drinks (I have heard Vodka goes well with it). ...  Read the complete review

Cranberries are fast becoming known as the 'super fruit' of the commercial world because of their fantastic taste and health benefits: the fruit is bursting with antioxidants (which can help build up the immune system) and pytochemicals (which can help prevent cardio-vascular disease). So, with this information intact, when i recently came down with the sniffles, rather than reaching for some quick-fix, symptom-solving tablets I took a trip down to Lidl, pulled out a £1.00 coin for a carton of cranberry juice that promised to be 50% bigger than normal AND had just removed any added sugar. It was also the 'Light' version of the classic cranberry ...  Read the complete review

Ocean Spray loves their cranberry products and this is perhaps the ORIGINAL product from them! ~~~CARTON DESIGN~~~ The carton is a rather generic foil plasticated alligned carton with a plastic lid. This plastic lid is rather good, as it really gives it a good close, unlike some other Supermarket own brand juices, where the lid does not close successfully and the juice goes bad, and the top moulds... Thankfully this does not happen to Ocean Spray products. One criticism is that the metal peel is sometimes hard to peel off and can rip the card, in which it is more susceptible to mould forming. ~~~APPEARANCE~~~ The juice is a ...  Read the complete review

One day I woke up and decided I was going to become healthier and try to sort out my horribly fatty diet. Cranberry juice was the first step. I figured that having a couple of glasses a day would be an easy way to get some nice nutrients inside me. Plus I am quite partial to vodka cranberry! There the healthy living went out the window. Anyway cranberry juice is contains high levels of organic acids that are supposed to help emulsify those fat cells and aids the cells in preventing bacteria from sticking to them (therefore aiding in unrinary infections). So being in France I looked around for a familiar product and that was where i found Ocean Spray Cranberry ...  Read the complete review
