Apple Juice vs Orange Juice: Calories & Nutrition Compared

Side by side per 100 g

Equal weights, so the columns compare the foods themselves. The last column shows which food has more, and stays at "About the same" when the gap is too small to matter.

Per portion

One USDA household portion of each food. The portions weigh different amounts, so this is the comparison for what ends up on the plate.

Our take

Apple juice and orange juice are almost the same per 100 g: calories, carbs and protein are all within a hair of each other. Pick on taste, because the numbers will not decide it.

The per-100 g table compares equal weights. The per-portion table compares the amounts people usually count as one serving, which differ in weight, so each answers a different question.
