10 Healthy Juice Recipes for Back to School

It’s super important for kids to stay hydrated! We always give our Mini Chef water, but sometimes she likes a sweet drink instead. Water should always be an option in addition to juice. We use a reusable water bottle for juices and water you could even use a mason jar for the older children. When making juices we either use our Vitamix or our Slow Masticating Cold Press Juicer. Whenever possible we prefer to use the slow juicer. Slow juicers also known as masticating cold press juicers, allow you to store the juice longer since it’s using low RPMS, more info here. We do not recommend centrifugal juicers as you don’t get as much juice with a masticating and you lose nutrients as well. 

1. Melon Berry Splash Juice – a delicious blend of watermelon, strawberries and pop of citrus
2. Fruit Punch Recipe – juices and fruit mixed to combine a childhood favorite
3. Fresh Squeezed Lemonade – bring back summer with this bright lemonade recipe
4. Kale Kiwi Refresher – get in the greens with this tasty drink, call it Hulk juice 😉
5. Orange Carrot Juice – orange juice with extra nutrients thanks to carrots
6. Grape Juice Recipe – homemade grape juice, healthy and delicious
7. Beet Carrot Apple Ginger juice – a delicious blend for little ones, with a little zing from the ginger
8. Sweet Potato Strawberry Juice – super tasty and rich with the sweet potato
9. Pineapple Lemonade juice – tangy and sweet combination, great for ice pops too
10. Homemade Orangeade – a favorite from down the Jersey shore, kiddos will love it!

BONUS!

Kiddos don’t like juice?

Try packing them infused water or homemade chocolate milk. 🙂
