Sugar free Aloe Vera juice for 3 year old?

Just wondering if it's a healthy option? She like the Grace sugar free one. Says it's 30% aloe Vera and provides 100% rda of vitamin c but that'll be for an adult. Is this too much for a 3 year old?

Vitamin c is water soluble - she will just wee out any excess. If she likes the taste of it, then maybe it would be ok as a treat but I don't think it would have any significant health benefits. Does sugar free mean it has sweeteners added? And what is the other 70% made up of?

All the sugar free ones I've tried have been undrinkable even for me. So so bitter. I mix it with banana and coconut oil.

Hang on sorry, she likes it?!

Bit bad not reading the full thread when there's only two posts! Slapping my hands, sorry.Xmas Grin

The vitC will be fine, but I suspect it'll be rammed full of sweeteners which is not a good thing.

lyssie29 · 15/12/2016 12:46

Lol yeah she likes it.

Ingredients; water, aloe Vera juice (30%) malic acid, sucralose, natural grape flavour, vitamin c

So yes does have sweetener in it.

I'm just amazing anyone actually likes it. It's the most vile thing I've ever tasted.

This one has a grape taste. Not a drink I could have a lot of though.
