Although your kids might clamor for juice, it isn’t always the healthiest thing for them to drink. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that fruit consumption should be limited to no more than 8 fluid ounces for children 7 to 18 years-old. But if you’re going to give your child juice, you should make sure that it packs a nutritional punch. These healthy juice recipes from Keri Glassman, RD, a celebrity nutritionist, offer lots of flavor without sugary additives.
Glassman recently partnered with Juiceman to come up with healthy juice recipes for kids. The company’s latest product, the 3-in-1 Total Juicer, combines a blender, juice extractor, and citrus juicer in one, upping your juicing game and giving you the tools you need to make nutritious drinks for your kids in no time. So the next time your kids want something sugary, try out Glassman’s healthy juice recipes that are perfect for kids — and parents!
