Why this is good for you
Kids' Chute Juice has been designed with whole fruit juicing in mind. All of the ingredients fit into the chute, you push down and boom - juice done! If you don't have a wide funnel juicer, you can clearly still make this juice; it just means you have to spend some extra time cutting, chopping and feeding into the chute. This gorgeous-tasting fruit smoothie packs more nutrients than you would think.
Contains vitamins A, B and C, potassium, folic acid, boron, ellagic acid, carotenes, amino acids, natural sugars and anti-oxidants.
Pear juice is exceptionally good for protecting the colon. Given that colon cancer is now one of the biggest killers in the UK, the earlier you can get some protection into your kids the better.The mineral boron is needed in trace amounts for healthy bones and muscle growth. It is also necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Additionally, it enhances brain function as well as playing a role in how the body utilizes energy from fats and sugars. Both apples and pears contain boron.
