Cranberries really are a ‘super food’, packed with antioxidants and plant nutrients that help flush out harmful compounds from your body.

Cranberries have long been famed for their health benefits. That’s because gram for gram, there are more antioxidants in cranberries than most other common fruits.

But the beauty of cranberries is that they also taste good, providing a simple and enjoyable way to detox your body.

THE MAGIC INGREDIENT
Besides antioxidants, cranberries also contain proanthocyanidins (PACS). These are natural compounds that assist in flushing out certain harmful matter from your system, helping maintain urinary tract health.

TRY THE 'SIMPLE DETOX'
The juice section of your supermarket is your key to an easy detox routine.
Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic™ is a sweet yet tart fruit drink that you can enjoy anytime.

You’ll also see Ocean Spray Cranberry Light™ – a low-calorie, cranberry drink that offers the same health benefits as Cranberry Classic™.

At only 8 calories (33kJ) for a 100ml serve, Cranberry Light™ is ideal for people who are limiting their calorie intake.

ENJOY CRANBERRY ANYTIME
At breakfast, a glass of Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic™ juice drink is a deliciously healthy way to start the day.

In the afternoon or evening, it’s particularly nice over ice – you can even use it as a mixer.

Aim for one glass a day to get the benefits of a simple detox, but for an even tastier treat try the recipe to the right. It’s ideal for those with diabetes or anyone watching their calorie intake.
