Panda Express Minute Maid Apple Juice

Minute Maid Apple Juice is stocked in bottles or boxes at selected Panda Express locations. It is one of the few juice options on the menu and a common choice inside the Cub Meals for children.

Apple juice is mild, sweet and universally acceptable to kids, which is exactly why it appears alongside bottled water as the kids meal drink option. It contains no caffeine, and as a juice rather than a soda it carries no carbonation.

Panda Express publishes its full nutrition panel for national items, and this drink runs regionally, so no verified calorie figure appears here rather than an estimate. Worth knowing regardless of the exact figure: fruit juice carries similar sugar to a soda by volume, since fruit sugar is still sugar. Within the Cub Meals, choosing bottled water over juice removes that sugar entirely from a kids order, and the Cub Meal calorie figures such as 300 for the Broccoli Beef build already account for the bundled drink.

It suits kids meals and anyone who wants juice with lunch. Pair it with the Cub Meals at $6.80, where it is included at no extra charge. Availability of bottled juice varies by store; the full lineup is on the Panda Express drinks menu.
