Wagamama Kids Mini Orange Juice

Wagamama kids mini orange juice is listed here at £3.30 (est.) and carries 84 kcal in its child sized glass. Wagamama does not publish a price for it, so the figure is this site's estimate, set at the level of the two priced kids drinks, the Cawston Press cartons.

A small orange juice is the default kids drink for a reason: children accept it, it counts toward their five a day, and it arrives without the caffeine or the fizz arguments. The sugar deserves a straight look though. This mini glass carries around 18 g of it, close to the entire 19 g daily free sugar cap the NHS sets for a child aged 4 to 6, because juice sugars count as free sugars once the fruit is pressed. The NHS also suggests capping juice at about 150 ml a day for children, so this glass is the day's juice, not one of several.

One marking oddity is worth flagging: wagamama labels the mini apple juice vegan but carries no vegan marking on this one, so ask your server if that distinction matters to your table. Anyone weighing how much is the kids mini orange juice will find every kids drink sits at the same level, which makes the choice about sugar and taste rather than money, and the mini orange juice calories are modest either way. It sits happily beside any kids main, and a plate of chicken gyoza for the table gives small hands something to share while the mains arrive.
