The calculators
Citrus juice calculator
Pick a fruit, a size and a count and get tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, cups and milliliters. Or enter the juice a recipe asks for and see how many fruit to buy. A medium orange is about 5.5 to 8 tbsp (two sources).
Open the tool Nutrition per servingSmoothie calorie calculator
Choose ingredients and amounts, then see calories, sugar, fiber, vitamin K and potassium per serving. Switch to juice mode to see what changes when the fiber is taken out.
Open the tool Plan and shopJuice planner
Pick recipes, servings and days for a shopping list by aisle, produce weight, an editable juice yield estimate and a storage plan. Costs use only the prices you type.
Open the toolWhere the numbers come from
Every nutrition value comes from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy). Citrus juice per fruit comes from the same database plus a university extension guide, and each fruit is labelled "two sources" or "single source" so you can see how much weight a figure can carry. We do not estimate values we cannot source: key limes and Meyer lemons have no yield figure in either source, so the calculator leaves them out.
The full list of values, the source of each one and the date we checked it sits in our data log. The tools are for cooking and shopping, and they give general information, not medical or nutrition advice. See the recipe and nutrition disclaimer.
