Cranberry juice is high in net carbs (~12.2g per 100ml). A standard 8 oz (~240ml) glass delivers ~29g net carbs—far beyond keto budgets—and most commercial options are sweetened. If you want cranberry benefits, choose whole berries or extracts; avoid drinking juice on keto.

Best practice on keto: skip cranberry juice. Its sugars are concentrated and fiber-free, making it a carb-heavy choice.
Use whole, unsweetened cranberries (~7.6g net carbs per 100g) in small amounts for sauces or salads instead of juice.
Opt for standardized cranberry extract capsules or powders to capture benefits without the sugar load.
Reserve cranberry juice for non-keto cocktails, glazes, or desserts where small amounts are acceptable off-plan.
