Juicing for Children
Not all children like to eat vegetables. Broccoli might just not be your child’s favorite,
but juicing vegetables with some sweet fruits can be a good way to increase their intake of
vegetables and greens. Start them out early.
Five-year-old Kanai loves to get into the kitchen to experiment with food. He uses herbs
and spices like a professional chef and loves to make his mom, dad, and sister snacks. The
family eats a healthy plant-based diet. They also grow some of their own food. Kanai was
happy to help make and test the following recipes in this chapter.
Get children involved with gardening or bring them along to a farmer’s market. Let
them choose fruits and vegetables they would like to try. When it comes to juice for
children or yourself, it is best to choose organic over any chemically treated produce
whenever possible.
To prepare produce for juicing, use a vegetable brush to thoroughly scrub the
vegetables. Rinse off well before juicing or blending. If you are using inorganic produce,
soak, scrub, and rinse well to be sure there are no chemical residues.
Many kids from the ages of two and up whose parents drink juice usually enjoy having
a sip or two. Children also enjoy taking part in the process by choosing some of what they
want in their drink and dropping it into the blender or feeding it through the juicer tube.
You can put the basic greens in and let your child add the fruit. Make it fun, and by adding
their favorite fruits, they will soon be asking for more.
Juicing and blending are healthy additions to any child’s diet. Depending on the child,
you might have to be a little tricky and not let them know you put broccoli or spinach in
their juice the first time—but the taste of the fruit will mask what they think they don’t
like. Eventually they will start to get used to the taste of more greens. It’s no surprise that
when children are involved in making a juice, they enjoy the taste of the finished product.
You are an example to your children, so when you keep yourself healthy by juicing it’s the
best way to get your child interested.
The best time to give your child a juice is in the morning or midafternoon. Do not serve
juices with a meal as they slow down the absorption of nutrients.
For very young children, it is best to dilute juices with water, and then slowly increase
the amount of juice. A small 3- to 5-ounce juice is a good amount. Too much juice can
cause diarrhea in a small child. Don’t rush the process. See what works best for their
