About this deal

In fact, children have a higher need for fat than adults, due to an increased rate of metabolism ( 9). Smoothies are a scrumptious way to sneak fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods into your child’s diet. However, excessive fruit juice consumption is associated with an increased risk of obesity in children ( 24). They’ve gotten a bad rap as being mostly sports drinks with caffeine, but over the years, energy drinks have really evolved.

This is because water is critical to health and necessary for countless vital processes in your child’s body, including temperature regulation and organ function ( 1). Avoid purchasing smoothies at grocery stores or restaurants, as these may contain added sugars, and opt for homemade versions whenever possible.

Frugo is a brand of fruit drinks, developed by Alima Gerber and Damian G, now owned by FoodCare Poland. Frugo became famous from their original commercials. The brand is known for the slogan "Let's Frugo".

Although coconut water does contain calories and sugar, it makes a healthier choice than other beverages like soda and sports drinks. Parents should keep in mind that certain energy drinks can contain over 100 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce (354-ml) serving, making it necessary to restrict energy drinks for all children and adolescents to avoid excessive caffeination ( 32). However, it’s important to carefully read the label when purchasing coconut water, as some brands contain added sugars and artificial flavors. Plain milk is highly nutritious, providing many nutrients that are critical for growth and development.To ensure that your child doesn’t become overly full on milk before eating food, only offer a small portion of milk at mealtime.

Plus, drinking too many sweetened beverages can contribute to weight gain and cavities in kids ( 20, 21). Many young children drink caffeinated beverages — such as soda, coffee, and energy drinks — which may have adverse effects on health. At the end of the day, coffee is the “healthiest” kind of energy drink, as it is just one ingredient, free from sugar, and completely natural.Even though 100% fruit juice provides important vitamins and minerals, intake should be limited to the recommended amounts for children. I’ve not even been allowed to drink extra coffee above my normal amount to quell the cravings as my intake of this is also being monitored. My poison of preference is the Caribbean Crush Lucozade or Play Original. I tend to go for the energy drinks that have understated burn, which for me amplifies the feeling that what I’m drinking is potentially harmful. Also that buzz is quite nice – and it’s legal. There’s nothing quite like reaching into the cold fridge at the service station for that cold Lucozade in that well-thought-out bottle with the cap. Having a bottle is nice because then the juice lasts longer. For example, milk contains protein, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium — essential nutrients for bone health that are especially important for growing children ( 7). According to the FDA, 400mg is the recommended caffeine consumption limit. Since tolerances vary, you may very well be able to handle more caffeine without any ill effects, but this is the general rule of thumb. It also contains electrolytes — such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium — which are lost through sweat during exercise.

Professional associations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that juice be limited to 4–6 ounces (120–180 ml) per day for children aged 1–6 and 8–12 ounces (236–355 ml) per day for children aged 7–18. Even though tea isn’t usually thought of as a kid-friendly drink, some herbal teas are safe and healthy for children.

What’s more, drinking enough water is linked to healthy body weight, reduced risk of dental cavities, and improved brain function in children ( 3).
