Some pubs went through a phase of serving freshly-squeezed orange juice. Haven't seen it advertised in years. It's so much nicer than bought orange juice as to be a different drink.

We very occasionally allow my daughter a bottle of coke if we are out somewhere. My son appears to be allergic to caffeine and gets a head ache if he has even a very small amount. At home he drinks fruit teas. I've no idea how much actual nutrition there is in them, but I think they are fairly harmless.

I bought one of those lovely looking Kenwood smoothie makers a couple of years ago and we often have fruit smoothies. Nothing in them but whizzed up fruit. It's actually better than juice as you get the pulp as well. I keep some fruit in the freezer because a handful of that makes it lovely and cold and thicker. We often have to eat them with a spoon rather than drinking them.

I used to love dandelion and burdock as a kid and bought some recently...it was horrible! Soooo sweet. I'm going to have a go at making my own when I've got enough burdock growing.

Sorry for the length of this, but I'm enjoying the thread

Love Lynne
