How often do your kids have juice boxes? Is it only for trips or do they drink them at home too?

We would only buy Fruitables. It was divided in half and given over two days. So the most they would  have in any given day was 3oz.

We do a lot of juice boxes, but whether it's bottled or boxes I always buy 100% juice. It's funny to me when people say that juice has too much sugar, do you know how much sugar is in fruit? Or even LOTS of things we feed our kids. If juice is 100% then it's got just as much sugar as an apple. About 23 grams of sugar in a large apple and about 26 grams in an 8 oz serving of 100% apple juice. So if people are so worried about sugar then I guess real fruit is out too?

I get them for their lunch box at school for field trip days only, because they want everything disposable those days.  Other than that, they get juice from a cup.

 Only when necessary. My kids aren't supposed to drink much in the way of juice and as far as the boxes they like to squish them and make the juice squirt, which I'm no fan of!

 I think it's great that it's your kids' preference!

This my kids honestly prefer milk or water over anything else.

Quoting la1118:

We have some at home, but it's not a daily thing.

No juice boxes here. The straight up juice makes her crazy hyper.
(her juice is 1oz juice to 11oz water ratio)

Mainly at restruants, but grandparents insist on buying them for their house and sending them home.

I bought a bunch of them, but won't be buying them any more...  DD gets obsessed with them sometimes and will try to drink them all day long.  I'm trying to limit her juice intake and push more water and milk.
