Panda Express Fanta Fruit Punch

Fanta Fruit Punch is among the heaviest drinks at Panda Express: 380 calories with 102 g of sugar in the published serving. It sits with the other Fanta flavors at the top of the fountain's calorie range.

Fruit punch flavor here means a blend of red fruit notes over a sweet soda base, with no single fruit identifiable and no acidity to cut it. It is the sweetest category of drink the machine offers alongside the strawberry, and it reads more like a children's party drink than a soda for a meal.

At 380 calories the cup carries close to a full entree's worth of energy. For comparison, Orange Chicken is 510 calories per serving, so the drink is roughly three quarters of the entree beside it. Zero calorie alternatives at the same price include Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero.

It suits children and celebratory meals. Availability varies by fountain setup, since machines are configured by market. The full drinks lineup with prices sits on the Panda Express drinks menu, and the nutrition calculator counts any cup alongside the food you pick.
