Product Review: Ocean Spray Cranergy™

by Amy S.

I love trying new drinks. And I'm a fan of cranberry. This is a good start for trying out the new Ocean Spray Cranenergy™ drink. Cranergy™ is made from cranberry juice, enhanced with natural energizers like green tea extract and B vitamins. Both cranberry juice and green tea extract contain high levels of antioxidants.

I loved the taste - particularly the Raspberry Cranberry Lift flavor. It's a great option for an on-the-go morning, particularly because it's lower in calories than a sticky sweet coffee drink. Made with Splenda® brand sweetener, Cranergy™ has only 35 calories per eight-ounce serving.

It's a healthier alternative, but I can't say for sure that it gave me much of an energy hit. Keep in mind, I am used to drinking at least two caffeinated drinks a day - so I'm no rooky in that department. So maybe I wouldn't make this my first choice for an afternoon energy burst - but I would enjoy it guilt-free anytime of the day because it tastes good - and a little green tea and B vitamins probably never hurt anyone!
