Eliminating juice with added sugar

Tip- Give your child fruits and veggies with high water content instead of juice

I'm not saying that there aren't any juices out there that don't have added sugar. The fact is that there are
benefits to eating the whole fruit. If you would like to read more on that I suggest this quick read.

What I like to do at breakfast time is to choose a fruit with a high water content such as watermelon, orange, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, pineapples, ext. to go along with their breakfast. In the afternoon I like to offer them vegetables or fruits again with a higher water content including cucumber, celery, tomatoes, etc. to also help quench their thirst.

Why drink orange juice when you can eat a whole orange! :o) 

Bonus Tip- Make smoothies! Smoothies are a great way to add extra fat, protein, calcium, vegetables, or fruits to your child's specific needs. There are endless combinations that you can create and tailor to your child's likes and needs. Some ideas are whole milk yogurt, nut butter, nuts, spinach, or avocado added to fruits.

Bonus Tips- If your child does not like to drink straight water try adding a lemon or lime to the water. You can add sugar to start and slowly add less and less until your child no longer needs the sugar added. One of our favorite drinks is blended cucumber, lime, and water. Fruit waters are a great start to ween your child off of sugary drinks.
