Thanks to Froose - It's an exciting time to be a kid in my household! Up until tasting and learning about this "whole food" drink, I was one of "those moms" who literally never let my 2 year old have juice. And I mean NEVER (unless you count the gross syrupy juices I sometimes let her slurp down from the bottom of a Del Monte fruit cup.) Well, Froose is unbelievable- this 4 oz juice box is literally like eating a piece of fruit as it has 3 grams of Fiber in it and the taste is fabulous. And for the record - the fruit cups I sometimes let my daughter eat have virtually ZERO fiber. Froose comes packaged in 4 oz juice boxes in Peach, Cherry and Pear flavors. And yes - it also tastes amazing and passed the taste test by both myself and my 2 year old! Right now Froose is still seeking distribution from the major stores but you can conveniently order it online. Froose was conceived of and founded by a Mom frustrated with the empty calories and lack of nutrition in the juices her kids were drinking - along with the lack of convenient "healthy" snack options for toddlers and preschoolers. Luckily, she was inspired enough to invent a product that I'm sure will satisfy millions of Moms out there who are seeking healthy alternatives!
Froose Juice
Ditch the sugary flavored drink and send your kids to school with Froose instead. The unique "whole-food" drink combines organic brown rice with bright-tasting fruit in flavors like Perfect Pear, Playful Peach, and Cheerful Cherry for a nutritious, low-sugar, high-fiber, vitamin-rich beverage.

My toddler who loves juice boxes, despite my best attempts to keep him away from them. I usually don’t buy them, but whenever we go on play dates or to Grandma’s house, they are always offered and happily slurped down. I know they are filled with sugar and high fructose corn syrup, so I cringe each time he drinks one. There must be a better option, right?
Yes, that better option is called Froose! Froose is a nutritious whole food drink that is a combination of whole grains and 100% fruit juice. It was developed by a Denise Devine, a concerned mom who wanted a healthier juice alternative for her children. She worked with food scientists at The International Food Network at Cornell and came up with this “drinkable snack”.
Here are some of the reasons why Froose is a better choice:
Most importantly though, is that it tastes GREAT! I drank ‘Perfect Pear’ and it tasted exactly like a pear. It was delicious!
Now instead of cringing when my little guy drinks his Froose, I instead wonder if he is going to let me have a sip. (probably not!) That is okay, I’ll just get my own box!
Froose is perfect for these hot summer days.
You’ve read countless articles on healthy lunchbox foods for your kids and you’ve made sure that the lunches you pack are fun and yummy enough that your kids aren’t trading or tossing them. But have you considered the health of their midday drink? Fruit juices are often fruit-flavored drinks, carbonated beverages are chockfull of sugar and calories, and it is near impossible to get your child to drink plain water. Well, good news for you, there is a new array of healthy, kid-friendly lunchbox drinks that will not only quench your child’s midday thirst, they also provide a healthy, tasty alternative to empty-calorie drinks.

What's low in sugar, high in fiber, made with organic ingredients and yummy? Your kids might say.. uh, nothing!? Have your kids try Froose, a naturally healthy juice for kids, and I think they will change their minds. Froose is a novel idea. Combine good flavor with organic ingredients and very low sugar to create a great tasting drink. Good idea huh?
Our testers, ages 20 months - 9 years, tried all three flavors, Perfect Pear, Cheerful Cherry, and Playful Peach. We didn't hear complaints about any of the flavors but the Cheerful Cherry was the favorite. The kids loved the packaging with the cute moose and I as a parent love it because the colorful juice boxes add fun to a healthy drink. I tasted the Froose juices, and it was like biting into a real pear or peach.. it was great! I really appreciate that Froose juices don't have the 'flavored water' taste that many juices have. You feel like you are actually enjoying a piece of fruit when drinking Froose.
Froose juices combine the best of whole grains and fruit in one nutritious, portable package that kids can grab out of the fridge or include in their packed school lunch. I am impressed that Froose chose to package their juices in smaller 4.23 oz packages than the typical 6.75 or 8 oz packages. No more almost empty juice boxes laying around and no more 'I'm not hungry for dinner' after your child drinks a 6.75oz juice box!
