Hansen’s Launches Natural Lo-Cal Juice

NEW YORK, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ — Hansen’s Natural releases four all-natural, refreshingly delicious juice cocktails that are ideal for health-conscious consumers. Free of artificial flavors and colors, as well as preservatives and sweeteners, Hansen’s Natural Lo-Cal Juices are the perfect solution to a healthy lifestyle providing an all-natural, lo-cal juice in four dynamic and nutritious fruit flavors.



A must-try good-for-you treat, Hansen’s Natural Lo-Cal Juices have a range of unique tastes – Tropical Mangosteen (a refreshing, not-too-sweet taste of the tropics), Acai Blueberry (the delectable flavors of blueberries with the health benefits of Acai), Pomegranate Blackberry (a perfect blend of pomegranate’s tartness with sweet, ripe blackberries) and Apple Raspberry (an invigorating twist on the classic, clean flavor of apple juice) – all sure to please any palette. Without sacrificing taste and flavor, Hansen’s Natural Lo-Cal Juices also offer 2/3 fewer calories than 100% juices – only 40 calories per serving – with 1/3 less carbohydrates and 1/3 less natural sugar. As nutritious as it is delicious, Hansen’s Natural Lo-Cal Juices are one of the only products that offer a blend of ALL NATURAL fruit juices in a lo-cal drink that is essential for health, wellness and calorie-conscious consumers.



A delectable blend of fruit juices that are derived 100% from nature, Hansen’s Natural Lo-Cal Juices are naturally sweetened with Truvia(TM). A new sweetener breakthrough that offers a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners, Truvia(TM) is a zero-calorie sweetener made with the best tasting part of the stevia plant, rebiana or Reb-A. A plant native to portions of northeastern Paraguay, stevia has been used to sweeten foods and beverages for over 200 years. As the leading table-top NATURAL stevia extract sweetener in the market, Truvia(TM) is produced by drying stevia leaves and steeping them to make a tea-like extract, which is naturally purified and dried into crystals of 97% pure Reb-A.
