First Juice Review and Giveaway

Today was a special day we received a package which contained first juice. Yeah, we were going to have a taste test and the little ones would be included in on the fun. There were about 10 of us in my kitchen and we loved it from the taste to the container it was great. The following is the review I wrote about one of our all time favorites first juice
First Juice the best juice in the world that you can give your child. Research shows that young children’s healthy eating habits can forward to healthy eating patterns when they become adults. Parents can help growing toddlers foster healthy eating patterns by focusing on nutritious and healthy foods during the early childhood years. It is a lifestyle choice to eat healthy and if a parent chooses that lifestyle for their child then first juice should be a agent within the diet. As parents, we have the most influence on our child and by making good decisions for the child we can teach them that eating healthy is the correct thing to do.

Because I am a diabetic but also a mother, grandma, and aunt when I was introduced to first juice I instantly fell in love. However, it was not until I was sent a sample of products to try that I knew exactly what I had fallen in love with and my first instinct was correct.

If you are like me and want to be sure your child's diet is healthy and first juice can help this idea become reality.
  1. First Juice is a simple juice made up simply of fruit and vegetables with purified water mixed in. The smaller 8 oz bottles include 43% of juice and the larger bottle contains 49%. That is a great percent in this reviewers opinion. Reading the ingredients on the label states that only fruit, water, and vitamins are the ingredients :D does that make you feel good and if you are a label reader like me that is not always the case when examining food to serve your family
  2. By serving First Juice long term healthy habits can be fostered. Most of us remember what our mothers or grandmothers served us when we were little and it is in most cases what we will serve to our children and grandchildren therefore the habit of healthy foods is fostered through early learning patterns. I have to say that we serve our babies juice from an early age and why not continue this pattern through toddler years to foster it into older years.
  3. Our family loved the juice. The teens in this family even loved it. A bit apprehensive perhaps when they read the word carrot on the label but they loved it. That is where we found out that That is where we received a lesson of our own and found out that the first carrots were purple, white, red and yellow and not orange. We all know that if you take a child to pick out a juice they love the colorful juice so this is great that they come colored from the fruit and veg tables in them and not from color additives. I have to say that as a diabetic I was glad to find a juice that had 1/2 the calories of a regular serving as juice and thus knew that the sugar level in the serving was less than most juices. I also know that mothers of little ones often dilute the juice they give their toddler to decrease the amount of sugar in the serving however with first juice this is no longer needs to be the case. First juice is created with 50 percent of the sugar of other leading juices. In addition first juice has built vitamins A, C, and D plus calcium that will help your child's nutrition.
  4. We love the great 8 oz. spill proof reusable sippy top first juice bottles. These are really cute and we could not believe their construction as well as being BPA free not much more you can ask for. As parents of 6 children and many little ones that still toddle around the house we love these sippy top bottles. They will not drip even if held upside down and the child will not spill and you will know that they did drink all of their juice because it will not spill out.
  5. The 32 oz first juice bottles are great as well and fit great in the door of the fridge where we can use as necessary. These would be great to fill up the sippy top bottles or to pour straight out and into glasses if more of a serving is desired. The great flavors that First Juice is available in is banana carrot, blueberry purple carrot, peach purple carrot and apple carrot.

Why don't you try some first juice and find out for your self what your little one thinks about first juice.
