Why It's Good:
You won't find any of that high-fructose corn syrup on the label here; it's similarly no-go for artificial flavors or colors. These crisp-not-cloying beverages are composed of purified water, cane sugar, and real fruit juice concentrates. And they're yummy!
Why It's Green:
These portable drinks are USDA-certified organic with unusual chemical-free ingredients ranging from pomegranate juice concentrate to mango puree.

Get Punch Drunk at Lunch
Someday a scientist will do a study that explains why there are certain food products that all kids seem to innately love. Like Cheerios—I have yet to meet a child who does not adore those oaty rings. Ditto for goldfish crackers and M & Ms. Perhaps we were all fed these items in our past lives, and we're simply responding to that prior entrancement? In terms of beverages, anything in a juice box or pouch has a similar instant allure. Even before kids know what's inside, they want it, which led the astute people at Honest Tea to think: Since children will drink anything in these containers, why not fill them with something healthy? Honest Kids are organic drinks with half the sugar and calories—only 10 grams of sugar and 40 calories—of their competitors, and also pack in 100% of the daily requirement of vitamin C. They come in three lip-smacking flavors (Berry Berry Good Lemonade, Goodness Grapeness, and Tropical Tango Punch). They're great for lunchtime, snacktime, or even grown-up me-time as you sip and ponder another mystery of kid cuisine.
Buy it at selected Whole Foods, Target and Wegman’s stores nationwide. A carton of 8 pouches retails for around $3.99 - $4.99.
