Which cartons of fruit juice drink for lunch boxes are actually ok?

[pepsi]

Watched This Morning today and they featured lunch box stuff and all the salt, sugar that stuff contains. One of the items was capri sun, I do put this in my sons lunchbox as it has not additives, preservatives, but it doesnt contain much actual fruit juice (10% ) and of course a fair amount of sugar. Out of all of these drinks on the market are there any that are actually low in sugar, no additives and with a high fruit content. I also buy Five Alive cartons and the Willy Wonka ones from Sainsburys. I want to buy the best I can, unfortunately ds doesnt want water.........and its my fault because I never made him when he was young.

smoothies best of all i think. as they are whole squahsed fruit rather than juice you get fibre too & therefore no sharp rise in blood sugar.

Was curious I'd always assumed it was "good" sugar in pure juice iyswim.

fructose & glucose are very similar. i think.

I give my two diluted tesco smoothies, in a sports cap bottle. If they insist on boxed drinks, pure juice or innocent smoothies ( at 3.50 for a box of 6,it would cost me £7 per week for playgroup drinks, and i am too mean to pay that out each week)

innocent smoothies are on offer at Sainsburys a the mo! I buy them for DS and then steal them...

I think pressed juice is much better than concentrated which has virtually zero vitamins left in it.

which is why I actually think the use of the word 'pure' is slightly misleading

hate buying juice from concentrate.

There was a health scare about it in Canada a few years ago,according to my mum who lives there,put me off.

Morrisons juice isn't from concentrate. Could be from something else (?) but "better" than Tescos/Sains equivalent. Talking about the big cartons though.

Juice is either concentrate or pressed.

mine have water

but otherwise pure fruit juice or ribena . I dont mind Capri Sun as I dont mind sugar over sweeteners and load of chemicals.

Try B-Fresh jucies! They're naturally pressed juices with all the vitamins and minerals you need with no added sugar. Full of fresh fruit and veg and in 250 /500 ml bottles!
