I haven't in a few months but the first time I did was probably a little before a year? I primarily did orange juice to help with iron absorption.

I have a nice juicer that I used for only a few months that is not being used. I will probably do it for LO when she is older. I have been reading about molded caprisan drinks and it's scary.

We make her juice and smoothies - depending on the day.

I don't like carrots in my smoothies so I juice them. Yesterday we split a carrot, apple, ginger. She also loves kale, cucumber, lemon and pineapple juice.

For smoothies our fave is almond milk, scoop of peanut butter, kale, 1 banana, 1/2 cup mango, flax & chia seeds.

@shopaholic: yup, we have an omega juicer and DD helps me juice… she loooves drinking her creation - we add tons of kale and spinach, but the taste is hidden by the citrusy notes of lemon and orange… and cucumber helps too.

I personally love homemade juice. The only potential problem I could see with juicing is that the kids would get all the sugar but none of the fiber of the fruit or veggies, and wouldn't learn to know/like the taste & texture of them in their whole form.

That being said, I still remember how much I loved the apple/carrot juice my mom would make for us as kids, so I'll definitely treat my son to some when he's older!
