We are beyond thrilled to share that Mashed ranked 13 brands of apple juice and drumroll please…. North Coast Organic came out on top as their Number 1 favorite! The juices they reviewed were from some of America’s most well-known brands, including Lakewood, Tree Top, Simply Apple, Martinelli’s, Welch’s, Langers, R. W. Knudsen, Mott’s, Capri Sun, Old Orchard and Great Value. Whew!
What was Mashed looking for in Best Apple Juices?
Mashed admitted there’s no shortage of apple juice brands and plenty of variations on this classic drink. Cold-pressed, from concentrate, unfiltered, cider vs. juice….the list goes on and on. But most apple juices on the market are filled with added sugars and preservatives and are usually from concentrate, not pressed from fresh apples. The trick is to find one with the least amount of processing, added sugars, and other extras you don’t necessarily want to find in juice. Otherwise, you might as well be drinking apple-flavored soda, right?
Here’s what they liked about North Coast Organic:
“When it comes to brands that really pay attention to what’s in their juice, North Coast Apple Juice is one of the best. Making all of North Coast’s products solely with organic apples grown in the U.S., they can be sure that their apples are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides. And North Coast really does taste like freshly pressed apples.
North Coast’s careful attention isn’t only directed towards its juice production. This brand also cares about its environmental impact. According to the North Coast website, the company uses solar power to provide half of the energy to make the juice. The parts of the apples that can’t be used are provided to local farmers for livestock feed. And the company works with recycling program TerraCycle to recycle as much of its packaging as possible.
You get what you pay for, and you’re going to have to pay a little more for this juice. We’re convinced, though, that you’ll really enjoy the North Coast flavor. The company even has different varieties if you like to change up the taste of your apple juice sometimes. You can pick from original, Gala, Gravenstein, and Honeycrisp apples (which are one of the more expensive types of apples). It’s not hard to find a cheaper apple juice brand, but we don’t think you can beat the taste of North Coast, putting it at the very top of our ranking of the best apple juice brands.”
We couldn’t agree more!
What makes North Coast Apple Juice Superior?
North Coast Organic apple juice is naturally sweet with no preservatives or added sugars and never from concentrate. We press only whole, fresh USA grown apples. That’s actually the only ingredient! You get exactly what it is you think you’re buying – Apple Juice. So, go ahead and drink a glass to satisfy your craving for something healthy and refreshing.
