As you probably know, I try to limit my own sugar intake as well as Babycakes'. I don't want to be "one of those moms" whose kid goes crazy the minute they leave the house because they've been so deprived at home. But, I also don't feel the need to feed her dessert or soda or even fruit juice every day. She gets an occasional bite of daddy's cookie, or a lick of poppa's ice cream bar, or <gasp> a sip of poppa's soda. Notice it's all the men in her life that feed her the bad stuff?! :p So I created a special "soda" that I can feel good about giving to her. And her face lights up with excitement at the sight of her "fizzy big girl" drink.
Introducing this week's KID-FRIENDLY Healthy Living Thirsty Thursday:
{Strawberry Soda}
Served in an adorably cute cup with an equally cute straw:
It has all the fizz and fancy of a traditional soda, but without the high fructose corn syrup or other added sugars.
And it couldn't be any easier to make: 8 oz of Strawberry Banana smoothie plus 4 oz of Sparkling Water. The ingredients in this pre-made smoothie are: Strawberries, Bananas, Pear Juice, Apple Juice, Vitamin C. You could also just make your own, if you prefer.
Question:
Did you drink soda as a child? Have you continued the habit as an adult?
