Quench Their Thirst Without Colas

Whether your child enjoys grape juice, pineapple juice, apple juice, pomegranate juice or any of the other fruit juices widely available at your local grocery store, you've got the makings of a sweet and fizzy soda drink your kids will love.

You don't have to stick with fresh juice either. Frozen juice concentrates or even making your own fruit puree and then adding in the club soda will work just as well. You can also get creative and combine multiple fruit juices to make your own fruit punch fizzy drink!

Flavored Water

Of course we would love it if our kids wanted to drink water all day, every day, but that never seems to be the case. You can, however, get your kids a little more excited about drinking water by adding some simple flavors that won't overload the drink with sugar.

Infusing a pitcher of water with a few lemon or cucumber slices and then letting the mixture chill for about 30 minutes adds a yummy touch of flavor to the water that doesn't sacrifice the health benefits.
