Do you give your kids 100 percent juice?

Hi there Shar19 Yes I do always give my kids pure juice, non of that made from concentrate stuff either. I bit like you though I put what I call squash in their packed lunch boxes though because I have not as yet found any small cartons of pure juice suitable for lunchboxes!

I use to be a big fan of 100% juices. When my eldest was little I took it so far as to only buy popsicles that were made from 100% juice too. When I realized how much sugar is in all juices (natural sugar is still sugar) and how little nutrition is in most juice I stopped. I buy what's on sale & what they like, but I don't allow them to drink it often. Even Kool Aid has vitamin C and if they only have a couple glasses a month I think it's a good treat. They drink a lot of water, no sugar & truly hydrating.

Aside from the Capri Sun and Sunny Delight drinks that my son takes in his lunch box the juice that my kids get is 100% juice. I don't normally buy Juicy Juice though. I get the frozen concentrate from the freezer section of the grocery store.

I'll give them juice that's not 100% but they get their vitamins other ways (food, fruit) so I don't feel too bad about it.

I only but 100% juice with no added sugar. Most of these are based on apple juice which has a lot of natural sugar, so I don't drink much or give much to the kids, I try to encourage water as their main drink.
