According to the website, “First Juice® is the first brand launched by First Juice, Inc. First Juice is the nation's first organic, low sugar, fruit and vegetable juice for infants and toddlers.”
We were fortunate to receive all four flavors of First Juice for Little Music Man to try: apple + carrot; banana + carrot; blueberry + purple carrot; peach + purple carrot (ARV $1.99/8oz. bottle or $4.99/32oz. bottle).
As expected, Little Music Man loved all four flavors, but his favorite was blueberry + purple carrot. He did not want to put the bottle down until he drank up all the juice. He also loves blueberries, which may be why this was his favorite.I had a chance to taste the banana + carrot juice and it was very tasty, but not very sweet. First Juice encourages serving healthy, delicious foods and drinks that are not too sweet so kids develop healthier food preferences as they grow.
I love the unique flavor combinations that First Juice offers, as well as how it has 50% less sugar than the leading 100% juice brand, and that it comes in a sippy-top bottle that’s reusable and BPA & phthalate free.
Little Music Man loves First Juice and once Smiley Boy is old enough to drink juice, First Juice will be the very first juice he tries.

One interesting fact that I learned is that First Juice has the same 12 grams of sugar per 8 fl. oz. serving as organic, low-fat milk. I thought that was pretty neat to find out.

One of the reasons there is less sugar: they blend the juices of fruits and vegetables that are already naturally lower in sugar

The purple carrot brings the health advantages of anthocyanins, the purple-red pigments found in blueberries and red grapes. Anthocyanins act as powerful antioxidants, grabbing and holding onto harmful free radicals in the body
the purple carrot--- i had no idea that carrots are not originally orange!
First Juice® blends organic fruits and vegetables that are significantly lower in sugar than traditional juice.
That carrots aren't just orange! Some are purple!
I loved the info on why the juices are so low in sugar...that they use juices low in sugar and plus use purified water to keep the sugar low

Carrot juice is nutritious, and is a great flavor balancer when mixed with our other juices.

I had no idea that carrots used to come in more than one color (or that the orange color is a honor to all things Dutch). Purple carrots wold be purplicious!

most importantly it has less sugar than other juices
The purple carrots are fun, but I really like the lower sugar part.

One of the reasons that the juice contains vegetable juice is because 93% of surveyed parents said they’d prefer the fruit & veggie combo versus just fruit juice.
