Green Juice Calories
120 calories per serving
Drinks
A standard 16 oz (475 ml) green juice contains approximately 120 calories, making it a relatively light option — but calories can climb quickly depending on the fruit-to-vegetable ratio and added ingredients like apple juice or agave. Vegetable-heavy blends (spinach, cucumber, celery) keep calories low, while fruit-forward versions can push past 200 calories per serving. Watch out for store-bought or cold-pressed green juices, which often come in 12–16 oz bottles with more fruit sugar than you'd expect.

Portion Tips
- 1.
Stick to a 12–16 oz serving — many bottled green juices are 16–32 oz, meaning the label's 'per serving' calories may only reflect half the bottle.
- 2.
Aim for an 80/20 veggie-to-fruit ratio to minimize sugar and keep calories under 100 per 16 oz serving.
- 3.
Avoid adding agave, honey, or fruit juice concentrates — even a tablespoon of honey adds about 60 calories and 17 g of sugar.
- 4.
If drinking green juice as a meal supplement (not a meal replacement), account for its carbohydrates — a fruit-heavy 16 oz juice can deliver 30–40 g of carbs.
- 5.
Cold-pressed store-bought juices can range from 100 to 220 calories per bottle — always check the full-bottle nutrition label, not just the per-serving figure.
Common Questions About Green Juice
How many calories are in a 16 oz green juice?
A typical 16 oz green juice made with leafy greens, cucumber, green apple, lemon, and ginger contains around 100–130 calories. Fruit-heavy versions or those with coconut water can reach 180–220 calories for the same serving size.
Is green juice good for weight loss?
Green juice can support a weight-loss diet when it's vegetable-forward and low in fruit sugars. However, it lacks the fiber of whole vegetables (juicing removes most pulp), so it's less filling than eating the same ingredients whole. It should complement — not replace — whole foods in a balanced diet.
Does green juice have a lot of sugar?
It depends on the recipe. A veggie-only green juice (spinach, celery, cucumber, kale) may have just 3–6 g of natural sugar, while a blend with apple, pineapple, or mango can have 20–35 g of sugar per 16 oz — comparable to some sodas.
How many calories are in a store-bought green juice like Suja or Pressed Juicery?
Popular bottled green juices vary widely. For example, Suja Uber Greens (12 oz) has around 45 calories, while Pressed Juicery's Greens 3 (16 oz) contains about 110–130 calories. Always check the label, as some bottles contain two servings.
