2nd opinion

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
That will depend on the type of fruits presented in this cup of cocktail juice ,every cup will have different amount and types of fruits if it contains milk or not or creama or kashta or nuts beside the fruit juice then it will count more
however ,one glass of contains :
glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice prepared with a variety of fruits including apple, pineapple, strawberry and grapes would provide around 125 calories.
Bottled apple juice has 114 calories
Canned fruit punch has 119 calories
Bottled cranberry juice cocktail comes in at 137 calories
bottled grape juice tops out at a whopping 152 calories
Citrus juices are slightly lower in calories.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice has 112 calories
pink grapefruit juice has only 96 calories
A 1-cup serving of mango juice has 128 calories
most cocktails range from 76 to 260 calories depending on what it contains and the additives included .(one cheese منقوشة contains 300 calories)

Usually it is recommended consuming 2 to 4 servings of fruit per day. A serving is considered 1/2 cup of fruit. Fruit cocktail usually comes in one-cup servings. Therefore, if you eat an entire fruit cup you'll be getting two servings of fruit. If you eat another can later in the day or with dinner, you complete all four servings.
Women and kids need at least three servings of fruit per day.
Older kids and pregnant women need at least four servings.

Make a better version of fruit cocktail at home. When you do it yourself, you leave out the extra syrup and preservatives. Also add more fruit varieties to your dish. Kiwi, mandarin orange, apple, mango, nectarine and cantaloupe are excellent choices. Top your cocktail off with fat free or low fat whip cream for added flavor.

Adding fruit cocktail to your nutrition plan is a great idea.

Kindly keep in mind that the cocktail juice with fruit pieces that you purchase from juice places is made with not only fresh fruits - many times, canned fruits are added, especially if the type of fruit is not in season. These are heavily sweetened, processed, and exposed to metal (the cans are metal containers) which is not safe especially for a pregnant woman. Another important thing to take into consideration, is that the juice part is usually made with a combination of bottled/canned strawberry juice and mango syrups (and thus heavily sweetened and contains preservatives). So you not only end up consuming non-fresh produce, but also with a load of sugar and probably noxious materials.
