Juice + Tree Top = One Happy Kid

My soon-to-be 6-year-old loves apple juice. Whenever he's given a choice between AJ and anything else, he always chooses the apple. It's no surprise really, his favorite fruit is an apple as well.

We've tried a wide variety of juice brands, and recently we had the opportunity to try Tree Top. Samples of their apple juice, mango peach juice drink and applesauce were sent to us and Dawson and I practically fought over the contents of the box.

I wanted to use the applesauce in an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe, but Dawson had container cracked open before I could stop him. He absolutely loves applesauce and the Tree Top brand is delicious, without being too sweet like some of the other brands we've tried.

As for the apple juice, I froze part of it in ice cube trays and let Owen use them as a teething remedy (I place the cubes in his mesh food server for safety). He thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Dawson and I shared the Tree Top Trim Mango Peach juice drink. I didn't think he'd like it because he's never tried anything like it. Boy was I surprised that he thought it was fantastic:



I was happy he was consuming 50% less sugar and calories. I always try to water down juice when I give it to the kids to drink, but Tree Top Trim is a healthy choice and that is very important to me.


I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Tree Top and received products necessary to facilitate my candid review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
