There are several popular brands of apple juice, but which is the best? A few of the top apple juices are Simply apple, Snapple, Mott’s and more.

Gwynedd Stuart is Sporked’s managing editor, she also is an L.A.-based writer. She put Simple apple juice at the number one spot.

“Simply juices are almost always a cut above the rest, and this pressed apple juice is no exception. The packaging advertises “fresh taste” and that’s no joke,” said Stuart. 

Stuart also said, “Simply is the best apple juice brand, hands down.”

Is there even a big difference between the brands of apple juice? 

Well, yes, there is, there are different additives and sugars within the juice. Different brands make the juice in different ways. Simply apple juice has no additives, no extra sugars, no coloring, and no artificial flavors. This juice is just pressed from apples, one ingredient. Some other brands take away from the main apple taste like Old Orchard Healthy Balance Diet.

The Old Orchard Healthy Balance Diet is only five percent juice. Which makes the other 95 percent just additives and water. 

Mott’s Apple Juice contains apple juice concentrate, water, and ascorbic acid for vitamin C. 

Snapple Apple Juice contains filtered water, sugar, apple and pear juice concentrates, citric acid, vegetable and fruit juice concentrates for the color of the juice and natural flavors.

Most of these juices are simple and relatively healthy for you, But what makes a brand the best, the fact it tastes exactly like an apple? Well, yes, to some people that is what makes it the best, but to others, it might be the brand. Mott’s and Snapple both taste like an apple. Snapple is a bit sweeter, but it tastes good. 

A poll from the Roaring Bengals Instagram asked what apple juice is the best out of Mott’s, Snapple, and Simply Apple. Forty two of the votes were for Mott’s, which is 65 percent of the votes. Thirteen people voted for Snapple Apple and 10 voted for Simply Apple. So 42 out of 65 people think Mott’s is the best apple juice.
