Choose Appletiser’s 6 × 250ml pack if you specifically want individual cans and like sparkling apple juice. If still juice or a smaller poured portion matters more, consider cartons or a larger bottle instead. Tesco lists 26g sugars per Appletiser can, and each 250ml can exceeds the NHS guidance to limit fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Who might choose each format?
The useful distinction for a weekday breakfast is whether you need an individual container, a can specifically, or juice you can pour to a chosen volume.
Breakfast drinkers who want cans
Appletiser offers six individual 250ml cans of lightly sparkling apple juice, as listed by Tesco and Asda. This format suits a routine where pouring from a larger pack is inconvenient, provided sparkling juice is what you want.
Households wanting individual cartons
If separate containers matter but metal cans do not, Tesco lists Growers Harvest apple juice in a pack of six 200ml cartons. Check the carton size against the amount you intend to drink at breakfast.
People who prefer to pour a smaller serving
A larger still-juice pack lets you measure a portion instead of opening a 250ml can or 200ml carton. For context, NHS guidance limits fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
What should you check before choosing?
Start with the container you will use on a weekday morning, then compare its volume, nutrition panel and juice type.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Pack format |
Check both the pack count and container: Tesco and Asda list Appletiser as six 250ml cans; Tesco lists Growers Harvest as six 200ml cartons. A larger pack requires pouring. |
I want a separate container for each breakfast. If it must be a can, a carton multipack will not meet that requirement. |
| Serving volume and sugars |
Compare the volume you plan to drink with the sugars per actual serving, not just per 100ml. Tesco lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can and 20.2g per 200ml Growers Harvest carton. NHS guidance limits fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. |
I would rather measure a 150ml serving than treat a whole can or carton as my breakfast portion. |
| Juice type |
Check whether the drink is sparkling or still and read its ingredients. Coca-Cola GB describes Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate; Tesco lists Growers Harvest as apple juice from concentrate with citric acid and Tropicana Pressed Apple as not from concentrate. |
Carbonation changes which option I would choose for breakfast, even when the packs all say apple juice. |
What is easy to overlook?
-
Assuming one can is the suggested daily juice amount
Tesco lists 250ml per Appletiser can. NHS guidance limits fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day, so a full can is larger than that amount.
If you want to follow the NHS quantity guidance, measure a portion from a larger pack or pour only part of a can.
-
Judging sugar content by “100% juice” alone
“100% juice” describes the product’s composition, not its total sugars. Tesco lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can.
Read the “of which sugars” figure for the amount you will actually drink.
-
Mistaking a carton multipack for cans
Tesco lists Growers Harvest as six 200ml cartons. They provide individual servings but do not meet a requirement for metal cans.
Check the container type as well as the pack count before ordering.

Questions about apple juice at breakfast
Is a 250ml can the amount of juice covered by the NHS daily guidance?
No. NHS guidance limits fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day; an Appletiser can listed by Tesco contains 250ml. If you want a 150ml portion, measure it rather than using the whole can as your guide.
Does “100% apple juice” mean a can contains little sugar?
No. The description refers to the juice’s composition, while the nutrition panel gives its sugar content. Tesco lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can, so check the figure for the amount you intend to drink.
Which apple juice comes in a six-pack of cans?
Tesco and Asda list Appletiser 100% Apple Juice Lightly Sparkling as six 250ml cans. It is sparkling apple juice from concentrate, so check that both the carbonation and can size suit your breakfast.
What if I want individual servings but not cans?
Tesco lists Growers Harvest Apple Juice From Concentrate as six 200ml cartons. They offer separate containers without the can format; each carton is still larger than the NHS 150ml daily juice guidance.
