Healthy drinks for kids

Posted by maryannrajah

What are some healthy drinks for kids without much processed sugars.. Most of the drinks that we buy off the grocery store contain so much of rocessed sugars which is not good for health especially for growing kids. These processed sugars are not good for the teeth and also gives them high energy levels.(sometimes can stay late at night). Are there any options for healthy drinks for kids that we could buy from the stores(for career moms) or any good homemade freshfruit slurpies?

Share your ideas pls...

Yes, I agree with this visitor here. Jack La lannes's power juicer is very good. It needs some cleaning though. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Hi, instead of fruit

Hi, instead of fruit juices, you can cut the fruit into small pieces and give if the kid is above 3-4 years of age. Cashews and almonds are also very nutritious. Do not fry it in oil. Just give as it is. You can cut carrot into sticks and give them.

Congratulations!!! Carrot

Congratulations!!! Carrot juice is good. Eventough sometimes it is not palatable,it is full of vitamin. Blend carots in the mixer with water and then strain the juice and enjoy with sugar and a little bit of lemon juice. MY FIL always used to insist on this when I was pregnant.

Better give fresh juices

Better give fresh juices (use juicer to make without water & sugar) & milk shakes... Nothing else could be healthy drinks...

All the store bought have

All the store bought have least amount of sugar..like juicy juice,aunt aunnie's,motts etc.. if u want sugar free slurpies,then i guess your only way is to take time to make juices at home from fresh fruit , no superior brand is equal to its freshness and nutrition. Invest in a god juicer like jack la lannes's power juicer..its just $100,stainless steel available at costco.com, dishwasher safe and very useful..shouldn't be a problm for 'career moms'..its way economically than $$ spent for buying store bought juice
