Switch, 100% fruit juice with a bit of fizz

In an ideal world my children would drink just water instead of reaching for a Red Bull, a Coke or a Gatorade. I am not too militant about what my children drink but I do encourage them to drink water, and for the most part they comply. Recently I saw a product called  The Switch. Unlike many popular drinks on the market, this one is 100% fruit juice with a splash of carbonation added, not the other way around. The company focuses on creating a wide variety of flavors that are healthy and fun to drink. Switch drinks contain no added sugar, that means absolutely no high fructose corn syrup, there are no preservatives added, and no artificial colors. Fruit juice does contain sugar but when consumed in moderation this is not necessarily a bad thing.

I have not yet seen this product on the grocery shelves, but when I do I think I'll give it a try.

But remember fruit juice is very high in sugar, too.

I'm just saying you don't want the kids doing keg stands of grape juice.

But it's about 70% juice and 30% sparkling water, nothing else, and has groovy flavors like blackberry, clementine, and pear. I like it. My kids like it. Kinda pricey though.
