What You Should Know

You'd spot this Cherry Limeade in the grocery beverage aisle or grab-and-go cooler — a single-serve bottle to toss in a picnic cooler or grab for a quick, sweet treat. It reads nostalgic and indulgent (think summer fountain drinks), but the ingredient list — filtered water, cane sugar, juice concentrate and “natural flavor” — plus a high sugar content points to industrial formulation and the smooth, intensely sweet texture typical of ultra-processed drinks.

Common Questions about Cherry Limeade, 12 FZ

Defining 'healthy' can be a bit of a slippery slope, right? Cherry Limeade is fun and refreshing, but it does pack in 43 grams of sugar per serving, which is high compared to many other drinks. If you’re looking for a treat rather than an everyday beverage, this could fit the bill!
