Ditching Juice and Getting Kids to Drink Water

Why Ditch Juice?

Hey there, awesome parent! We know juice boxes are a quick and easy treat for your kiddos, but have you stopped to think about what’s really in those boxes? Sure, the package may show happy fruit characters, but the truth is there’s often very little fruit and a whole lot of sugar in these drinks.

The Sugar Showdown

Would you give your children a handful of sugar to snack on? Probably not. But when they drink a typical juice box, that’s exactly what they’re getting. Some juice boxes have up to seven teaspoons of sugar! That’s almost the same amount as in some popular soda drinks.

Hydrate with H2O

What’s the best thirst quencher? It’s good ol’ H2O, water! Water helps our bodies work better, supports brain function, and keeps us hydrated – all without any added sugar. Teaching children to enjoy water now builds a habit that will help them stay healthy for life.

Make the Switch Fun

We know it can be a bit challenging to make this switch. Try making water fun by adding fruit slices for natural flavor. Or let your kiddos choose a special water bottle making their water-drinking experience more exciting!
