Dietary guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests the ideal fruit intake for most adults is four servings per day.¹⁸ Nutrition experts also agree that the greater the diversity of fruit in your diet, the better the nutritional rewards. But according to the Produce for Better Health Foundation, 90% of Americans don’t meet their recommended daily fruit and vegetable requirements.¹⁹

When it comes to getting enough fruit, variety is on your side: whole or cut fruit, fruit juice, and fruit puree are all recognized as healthy and nutritious ways to enjoy your everyday fruit. A bottle of Fruit2day delivers two fruit servings, made up of 5-8 different kinds of naturally nourishing fruit.

How do we measure our two servings of fruit?

Fruit2day contains real fruit pieces, fruit puree and natural fruit juice – all of which are recognized as healthy and nutritious ways to incorporate fruit into your diet.

According to the USDADietary Guidelines, one serving of fruit is equal to one half cup.¹⁸ This measurement is based on fresh fruit cut in typical slices or chunks. Of course, by cutting the fruit into small bits like we do in Fruit2day, we can fit the equivalent of a full serving into a smaller space. That’s why even though a bottle of Fruit2day is only 6.75 fluid ounces, it still contains two complete servings of natural fruit goodness.
