Juice With Your Kids

  

With so many chemicals in our foods and drinks these days we need to make sure kids are getting the real nutrients in what they eat and drink.  By you juicing, you will encourage your kids to juice and make their own juices. Rather than buying store bought orange, apple, and grape juice which is ridiculously expensive, allow them to make their own.  You will be avoiding all of the chemicals and fake ingredients that's put into store bought juices. 

Kids can make:

• Apple Juice
• Grape Juice
• Tangerines
• Grapefruit
• Orange Juice
• Lime Juice

The juicer that is shown in the picture above is the right size for a kid and easy to clean. You can find this model at your local Walmart, Target, Kohl's or on Amazon.

   

• Make it fun! You can buy them colorful jars or containers to put their juice in to carry with them to school or for playing outside.
