Pumpkin Beet Carrot Juice

Veg Juices..I hav been following this method for my toddler till date since I find it the best way to make her eat these veggies..Though it can't be applied to all veggies, I m satisfied that it is good enough for a few veggies atleast..

Carrot and pumpkin are good sources of betacarotene, which is important for vision, and they have enormous amount of other nutrients as well. Beetroot, on the other hand is a vital source of iron and folic acid, and improves the haemoglobin as well. So, this is a much healthier juice for ur toddlers. For babies below 1 year, you can feed this as a puree as well, after consulting with your paed.
