Juicing

We have a juicer and my husband and I frequently will have a veggie and fruit juice for breakfast or lunch. My lo has recently discovered this and is seriously in love with it. She can down a very large amount and it has me wondering if it is ok? I know most juice is not recommended and we never really giver her store bought kind, but since we know what is in it, I assume its ok? I also thought its a great wAy for her to get more veggies since she is not a fan.

does anyone else juice and share with their lo? If so how much do you let them have. This kid can down 12 oz easily.

  • I juice as well, and I share with her, I don't give her her own... she probably gets approximately 23 oz at a time when we do this... and sometimes she throws a fit, but whatevs, you know what's best ; lol. Also I second the smoothie idea, I give her her

  • My DS would live on juice if him, but I only let him have about 4oz a day. But that is throughout the day, I let him have a bit with snack time. If we have a fruit/veg blend I make sure he gets cheese and graham crackers. I worry about the sugar too, but
