Juice has long been seen as a healthy way to get some liquids in your kids. Kids love juice because it’s sweet, and parents like it because it comes from fruit. Both of these assumptions are true most times, but sometimes the fruit in juice drinks isn’t really there and there is more sugar than anything else. Keep an eye on your juice and juice drinks in order to differentiate between the haves and the have nots.
A few new juice drinks by Mott’s are good options to pick for your kids beverages. They are Mott’s Fruit Punch Rush and Mott’s Wild Grape Surge. There are many reasons some of which are: These juice drinks contain 40% less sugar* than fruit juices, contain no artificial sweeteners, are made from real fruit juices, and contain 100% daily value for vitamin C. Flavorwise Wild Grape Surge and Fruit Punch Rush are perfect, sweet and fruity without being too sweet either. This doesn’t mean the sweetness is toned down and diminished because of the reduction in sugar; the juice drink is just as sweet as other juice drinks and feels twice as good giving to your little ones. My personal favorite is Fruit Punch Rush, there are three different juices blended together to make a wonderful flavor that satisfies and quenches your thirst.
What I really like about the new Mott’s juice drink is the ability to make every day a special day. Instead of only splurging on the sugar on a special day, with Mott’s reduced sugar content it is easy to make every day a Mott’s day. So juice isn’t for special occasions only.
Our little guy loves juice. He enjoys his water, of course but juice is king. He especially like fruit punch. The redder the ‘better’, lol.
Very recently the little guy has decided he is a big boy and can do things for himself, like pouring drinks. With water this is ok, a little drip or drop here is easy enough to clean up. But when we move onto gallons of milk or containers of juice problems arise. Luckily he has been in the kitchen for each spill. No pouring in the living room thank you very much. Each spill is followed by an “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” and the all important life lesson, you make a mess you clean it. With some help of course.

*Mott’s Juice Drinks contain 15g sugar; the market average of 100% fruit juices and blends contain 25g sugar.
