We held out for a long time before giving him any juice at all, and while I know we are more than likely not going to necessarily be battling childhood obesity (have you seen my tiny kid?) I do find myself wishing i'd never given him juice still.
So my question is, what kind of juice do you give your kids? I know I want 100% juice so it can actually count as a serving of fruit and something that's not overly sugary. But I feel like the juice market can be tricky.
Take V8 Splash for instance. I purchased this with a coupon awhile back and pulled it from the pantry the other day. Main ingredients: water and high fructose corn syrup. Also it contains red dye 40 and is only 10% juice. Really? This stuff is awful! Not necessarily the taste but the ingredients. Not to mention that it makes Cade's poop a crazy bright orange. TMI...I know. I just was expecting it to be better for you than that. V8...you are a diet myth.
So there you have it. I'm in a juicy conundrum right now and V8 Splash actually sucks. Help me out here. You've got knowledge to share. I just know it.
And here...for what you really came to the blog to see. These cuties.

That pink tutu was too too much! See what I did there? Wow.
Anyway, we drink Juicy Juice in my kid free but crazy hippy home. It's 100% juice. Chris dilutes his about 50/50.
I can completely understand where you are coming from...I finally decided to only buy 100% orange juice and he usually only gets it at breakfast. I know that I am going to have that kid who drinks all of the other kids' juice when he goes to school because his mom is such a stickler, ha!
Time to buy a juicer, Mama Jana!
