First Juice Just Got Better! Purple Power!
Saturday, February 21, 2009 Posted by Felicia
You all may remember my original post about first juice (click HERE). Much to our dismay, Graham is not much of a milk drinker. He went straight from nursing to juice it seems! We have tried everything (seriously, no tips needed LOL!). So, when I stumbled across First Juice in Babies R Us a couple of months ago I was so excited!Basically, First Juice is organic juice that contains VEGETABLES and fruit with 50% less sugar and calories than regular juice. The vegetable part is what got me! Yes, you can sneak their veggies in their drink!
Now First Juice has come out with two new flavors: Blueberry + Purple Carrot and Peach + Purple Carrot. Graham loves them both! The great thing about purple carrots is that they carry powerful antioxidants! The same antioxidants found in your other "purple" colored foods (blueberries and grapes).
I also love that the price of First Juice is very comparable to other organic juices you can buy in the grocery store! So, you can have healthier beverages for your toddler and expect to pay about the same as any other organic juice (but you don't pay in cavities or sugar highs)!

That's an awesome find! I've been wondering about these juices, but then again, I'd have to have a kid who drinks juice first. My oldest didn't touch juice until he was 4 or 5. I had to keep the preschool stocked in milk for him (soy - lactose intolerance). I think my lil guy is the same. He's 2 and has no interest in juice. Now if they could sneak veggies in tea, we'd be home free.

That is such a great idea, my 2 year old is a juicy juice fanatic! To think they have juice with veggies in it for toddlers.... oh they so have me as a customer soon!

I'll have to keep my eyes open for that. My little guy JUST started liking juice. He didn't care for it when we first tried. Now, I give my oldest the V8 Fusion which also has a serving of fruits/veggies in one cup. There's also Juicy Juice Healthy Harvest (think that's the name) which is the same concept.
Thanks for sharing about this product. :)
