Making Healthy Choices Monday


Buy only 100% fruit juice. There are many options for 100% fruit juice. Have you ever looked at the ingredients of the other types of juice? On a lot the first few ingredients is high fructose corn syrup or water! That means your mostly paying for water and sugar.


Drinking 100% juice ensures you will be getting a serving of fruit in every 1/2 cup! But beware, you can’t get your full daily amount of fruit servings from juice. One-third of the fruit you eat can be from juice, the other two-thirds must be from the whole fruit. 


There are many brands that make 100% juice, so I'm not promoting one brand over the other.


Drink up!

Thanks for the tip. It's a good reminder to make sure I know what my kids are drinking...water&sugar or real fruit juice!
