I am a lucky girl a few weeks ago I was sent a shipment of Old Orchard Cranberry Naturals Juice. This is a new product in the Old Orchard line. It is actually a lite juice that is made with Truvia a natural zero calorie sweetener. Now typically I love juice, but I am not willing to spend the calories (or when doing weight watchers the points) on juice. I have never seen the point of drinking your calories unless it is of course coffee. I was hesitant about trying this juice because most lite juice taste like...well lets be honest crap! It has that nasty after taste and still has a decent amount of calorie and tastes like garbage for those calories. Yet, this juice has 40% less sugar than other brands and no artificial colors and flavors. So when I got this juice I was given both regular cranberry and cranberry raspberry. I tried the regular cranberry and sent the cranberry raspberry one home with my dad because I am not a huge raspberry fan. My dad who is a juice-aholic loved it and didn't even know until I told him that it was lite juice. I really enjoyed the cranberry one. It did have a slightly different taste then regular sweetened cranberry but so not that horrible aspartame taste. I am a big Truvia fan in general because is a more natural sweetener. After one glass I drank the rest mixed with water and loved it. I think that this is a great option for those of us who are trying to be a bit healthier this is a nice option to spice up your routine. The juice comes in the following flavors....regular Cranberry, Cranberry Blueberry, Cranberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Grape, Cranberry Apple, Cranberry Raspberry. Since the Cranberry Natural people are so great they are allowing me to give away two free bottles of the juice!

I'm thinking Cranberry Blueberry sounds tasty. I wonder how it would be trying it mixed with some bubbly seltzer also to cut down on the sweetness?! Throw me in the hat and let's see if I win! PS: I like the wee one's birthday as a deadline! Surprised you didn't use your own b-day!
I would love either the Cranberry Apple or Cranberry Grape. We drink a TON of juice in this house!
