Drinks at Snack Time
You may have seen the recent campaign to reduce sugar in all our diets.The guidelines for daily sugar intake are:
Less than 12 months avoid ALL sugars
1-4 years Less than 19gram(4 teaspoons)
4-6 years Max 19gram(4 teaspoons)
Adults 30gram.
So what does this mean in terms of the drinks you provide? The current drink recommendation is Milk or Water. However I know many of you provide juice and if you wish to continue doing so please bear the following in mind.
- Provide no added sugar juice
- Check the sugar content before you buy.
- Dilute to the instructions-Robinsons recommend extra water to added for toddlers.
- If you provide fresh fruit juice check sugar content and dilute well.(1 part juice to 10 parts water)
