How many calories are in a Capri Sun?
One Capri Sun pouch weighs 186 g and carries 73 calories. Per 100 g the drink is 39 calories, lighter than most juice but nowhere near water. Almost all of it is sugar: 16.7 g in the pouch, out of 18.6 g of carbohydrate, with no fat, fiber or protein to speak of.
You'd need to walk about 15 minutes to burn the 73 calories in one pouch (186 g).

Capri Sun quick facts
The row below is FNDDS 2710600, "Fruit juice drink (Capri Sun)", from the 2021-2023 survey release. It is the only USDA entry that describes the drink the way people actually meet it, with a household measure of one pouch at 186 g. The branded label rows exist too, flavor by flavor, and they sit further down the page where they belong.
That 186 g is the weight of the liquid, not the foil. A pouch holds 177 mL on the label, which is 6 fl oz; the extra grams come from the drink being denser than plain water.

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two label rows are missing on purpose. This FNDDS release does not publish added sugars or trans fat for beverages, so we leave both out rather than guess at them. Cholesterol is 0 mg and potassium is 20 mg per pouch, well under 1% of the Daily Value, which is why neither earns a row. Sodium at 4 mg is a rounding error next to the 2,300 mg FDA Daily Value.
US servings, from one ounce to a tall glass
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 11 kcal |
| 1 fl oz, no ice | 31 g | 12 kcal |
| 1 fun size box, 4.23 fl oz | 131 g | 51 kcal |
| 1 pouch | 186 g | 73 kcal |
| 1 glass, 8 fl oz | 248 g | 97 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 39 kcal |
The pouch, the fun size box and the fluid ounce are USDA household measures for this record. The 8 fl oz glass and the 1 oz line are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, and they are where the trap sits: pour the same drink into a standard tall glass and you are at 97 calories, a full third more than the pouch you thought was the portion.
The little fun size box, the one that shows up in lunch boxes and party trays, lands at 51 calories. Two of those beat one pouch by 29 calories. If you log by container rather than by volume, that difference disappears quietly.
Every Capri Sun flavor, pouch by pouch
The generic FNDDS row averages the line. The branded rows do not, and the spread between them is wider than most people expect for a drink that comes in identical silver pouches.
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical pouch | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit Punch | 33 kcal | 182 g | 60 kcal |
| Strawberry Kiwi | 33 kcal | 182 g | 60 kcal |
| Wild Cherry | 27 kcal | 182 g | 49 kcal |
| Lemonade | 20 kcal | 182 g | 36 kcal |
| Roarin' Waters | 17 kcal | 182 g | 31 kcal |
| 100% Juice, Citrus | 56 kcal | 182 g | 102 kcal |
Fruit Punch and Strawberry Kiwi are the everyday pouches at 60 calories each. Wild Cherry comes in lighter at 49. Lemonade is the lightest of the juice drinks at 36, and Roarin' Waters, which is a flavored water rather than a juice drink, is lighter still at 31 - under half the 73-calorie generic pouch.
The 100% Juice line runs the other way. At 102 calories a pouch it is 70% heavier than Fruit Punch and the only version that clears 100. It is real juice with no added sweetener, so the sugar is the fruit's own, but the calories in the glass do not care where the sugar came from.
Here is the piece worth keeping: the generic FNDDS row says 73 calories for 186 g, while the Fruit Punch label says 60 for 182 g. That 13-calorie gap is not USDA disagreeing with Kraft Heinz. It is one recipe against an average of several, measured the same way.
Sugar is the whole carb line
A pouch holds 18.6 g of carbohydrate and 16.7 g of that is sugar - about 90% of the line. There is no fiber and no starch to soften it, which is what separates a juice drink from a piece of fruit.
Total sugars carry no Daily Value on the US label, so the panel gives you no percentage to anchor on. Carbohydrate does, and at 7% the pouch looks modest. The added sugars row, which is the one that would actually tell you something here, is not published for this FNDDS beverage record, so we cannot print it.
What we can point to is the general guidance. MyPlate's advice on drinks puts water and unsweetened milk ahead of juice drinks for everyday sipping, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans cap added sugars at less than 10% of daily calories. Two pouches in an afternoon is 146 calories that arrive with no protein, no fiber and nothing to slow them down. If you are managing a kid's snack budget rather than your own, the Roarin' Waters pouch at 31 calories does the same job for less than half.
How does Capri Sun compare?
USDA lists the neighbors by the fluid ounce, so this table holds the serving steady across all four rows.
| Drink | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capri Sun fruit juice drink | 39 kcal | 1 fl oz (31 g) | 12 kcal |
| Fruit juice drink, light | 39 kcal | 1 fl oz (31 g) | 12 kcal |
| Lemonade, fruit juice drink | 46 kcal | 1 fl oz (31 g) | 14 kcal |
| Fruit juice drink, noncitrus, carbonated | 33 kcal | 1 fl oz (31 g) | 10 kcal |
Our take: Capri Sun sits in the middle of the juice-drink pack and the differences here are small enough to ignore. Bottled lemonade is the heaviest at 46 per 100 g, the carbonated fruit drink the lightest at 33, and the "light" survey row is identical to the regular one - same 39 calories, same 10 g of carbohydrate - which tells you that label word is doing less work than it sounds like. If you are choosing between them for calories, the choice barely matters. If you are choosing on portion, it matters a lot: the pouch is a 6 fl oz decision and the glass is an 8 fl oz one.

Capri Sun FAQs
How many calories are in a Capri Sun pouch?
73 calories in one 186 g pouch, based on the USDA survey row for Capri Sun fruit juice drink, which works out to 39 calories per 100 g. Branded flavors run lower: Fruit Punch and Strawberry Kiwi are 60 calories a pouch, Wild Cherry 49, Lemonade 36.
How much sugar is in a Capri Sun?
16.7 g of total sugars in a 186 g pouch, or 9 g per 100 g. That is roughly 90% of the pouch's 18.6 g of carbohydrate, with no fiber alongside it. The added sugars figure is not published in this USDA beverage record, so we do not print one.
Is Capri Sun 100% juice?
The standard pouches are not; they are juice drinks, and USDA files them that way at 39 calories per 100 g. There is a separate 100% Juice line, and it is heavier: the citrus version is 56 calories per 100 g, or 102 calories a pouch, the only version that clears 100.
How many carbs are in a Capri Sun?
18.6 g of carbohydrate in a 186 g pouch, which is 7% of the Daily Value on a 2,000-calorie diet. Of that, 16.7 g is sugar and none of it is fiber. There is no fat worth counting at 0.1 g and no protein at all in the pouch.
How many ounces is a Capri Sun pouch?
The label serving is 177 mL, which is 6 fl oz, and it weighs 186 g in the USDA household measure. The fun size box is smaller at 4.23 fl oz, or 131 g and 51 calories. A regular tall glass holds 8 fl oz, a third more drink than the pouch.
How many calories are in Capri Sun Roarin' Waters?
31 calories in a 182 g pouch, at 17 calories per 100 g. That is under half a standard 73-calorie pouch and the lightest thing in the whole line-up. It is sold as a flavored water beverage rather than a juice drink, which is where the difference comes from.
How many calories are in Capri Sun 100% Juice?
102 calories in a 182 g citrus pouch, at 56 calories per 100 g. It is 70% heavier than a 60-calorie Fruit Punch pouch and 29 calories above the generic survey figure of 73. The sugar in it is the fruit's own rather than added, but the calories count the same.
Is Capri Sun healthier than soda?
A pouch is 73 calories and 16.7 g of sugar, and we have no USDA soda row on this page to rank it against, so we will not pretend to. What the numbers do support: it brings no fiber and no protein, and MyPlate puts water ahead of juice drinks for everyday sipping.
