Pressed Pineapple, Ginger, Apple & Lemon Juice — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Pressed Pineapple, Ginger, Apple & Lemon Juice by Marks & Spencdjdj TREAT — score 45/90.
A clean cold-pressed multifruit juice with zero additives, but pressing strips the fiber and leaves concentrated free sugars that hit your blood like a sweet drink.
Why this verdict
- Pressing removes the fiber, leaving concentrated free sugars that spike blood sugar fast
- Pineapple and apple are naturally high-sugar fruits, so even 'no added sugar' juice is sugar-heavy
- A glass packs the sugar of several pieces of fruit but none of the chewing or fullness
- Clean, additive-free formula (NOVA 1) keeps it out of the engineered/junk tier
Ingredients (6)
- Pineapple Juice (48%) (moderate) — Real fruit juice, but pressed pineapple is high in free sugars with the fiber stripped out.
- Apple Puree (26%) (safe) — Puree retains some pulp/fiber, slightly better than clear juice but still a sugar source.
- Cloudy Apple Juice (19%) (moderate) — Cloudy juice keeps a few more polyphenols than clear, but it's still concentrated apple sugar.
- Golden Berry (Physalis) Puree (4%) (safe) — Real fruit puree adding tartness and some antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Ginger Puree (2%) (safe) — Whole-spice puree, anti-inflammatory and a genuine flavor ingredient, not a flavoring.
- lemon juice (safe) — Natural acidulant for brightness and shelf stability. Harmless.
