Eight Reasons to Include Cranberry Juice in your Diet

I received a compensation in return for this post. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

My family is always running from here to there, and I often feel like I need about 26 hours in a day. With an on-the-go lifestyle, I am always looking for ways to increase my family’s fruit and veggie intake, but any parent knows that getting the whole fruits or veggies into the diet isn’t always easy when you are on the move.

Our active lifestyle is one of the reasons I love finding options that make it simple for my family to achieve the recommended amount of servings they should be getting. Did you know that berries provide the highest amount of antioxidant capacity over any other fruit? Cranberries specifically benefit you by giving cardiovascular and anti-carcinogenic benefits. Although I don’t like eating whole cranberries (they are a bit tart for me to eat raw), I do love drinking cranberry juice!
