To promote the health of my skin and keep an hourglass figure, I’m trying to cut back on added sugar. Like my mother and paternal grandmother, I have a fondness for cranberry juice.

I’ve tried Ocean Spray’s healthier cranberry juice, and I don’t dislike it, but it isn’t as good as Simply. Does anyone know a cranberry juice brand with no added sugar that still tastes sweet?

There is no such thing; cranberries are naturally very very tart.  You could try adding a sugar substitute if you find those acceptable.

If you have no objection to diet drinks, Ocean Spray Diet 5 Calorie juice is my husband's favorite. I tried to wean him off the Diet version, but he likes it best. Other Ocean Spray variations do not appeal to him.

I suppose I could try adding honey.

Make my own by putting 1 c  cranberrys in a blender with enough water  to cover, blend then strain. Add about 30 more oz of water and a freshly squeezed lime with about a 1/2 teaspoon of honey.  That's about 20 calories for 32 oz.

It's so refreshing.

That is a very good cranberry juice. I have some in my fridge right now lol. Since I like things extra sweet, I sometimes will add a pack of Stevia to the bottle.

@ijohnbaptiste ...I'm not sure you will like my suggestion but this is what I do with my favorite juices....I put about 1/4 of juice in glass and add water to the rest of it, so it is more of a flavored water...This definitely cuts down on the sugar content and is very satisfying for me.

I like @hopi 's suggestion also.

Try Knudsen cranberry juice - no added sugar.  I have to water it down a little because it is strong but no sugar.  Find in natural sections of grocery stores, Whole Foods, or I find in juice section of my Publix.  It goes on sale occasionally so I stock up because it is more expensive, but good.
