What kind of drinks so you have in your home? What are you giving to your kids? Well, I have to say that most of the juices and drinks out there in the supermarket are not good for you. They either have added sugar, preservatives they don't need or artificial flavors. Don't even get me started on soda. Why even waste your money on those when you can get the real thing! I did some research on some companies that produce natural and organic drinks that are totally worth giving a try.

R.W. Knudsen Family has been bottling organic juices since 1961. They use sustainable production and business methods and have stayed true to their commitment to using organic ingredients. Not only have they served as members of the Organic Trade Association they were the first processor in the country to become a certified organic processing facility in 1997. They carry everything from juices to sports drinks so I am sure you will find something you will love. You can find their products in Waldbaums, Stop & Shop, Shoprite and more. You can go to their website to read more on the company and also find a store near you that carries their drinks.

Santa Cruz Organic is another company who uses sustainable resources to produce their products. They claim they are "green to our core" and they are right! They are an official Green E-certified business and have also earned a WRAP award for their amazing recycle methods. Santa Cruz not only has juices but they also carry sauces, teas and peanut butter to name a few. Since 1972 they have been committed to producing the finest organic products and have been working hard to help raise awareness about the benefits of organic agriculture. You can also visit their site for stores that carry their products.

Purity Organic is a company that works directly with organic farmers and creates yummy, healthy drinks at prices that you can afford. All their products are USDA certified organic and 10% of their dividends are returned back into the organic community! They carry 6 flavors of their juice line: apple, lemonade, strawberry paradise, citrus passion, cranberry harmony and tropical bliss. Their functional drinks have a combination of vitamins and herbs and by selling fruit they help create a higher return to the farmers they work with. This shows the love they have for the community! Check out their nicely designed website when you get a chance. Also, take notice to their packaging designs. LOVE THEM! You can find their products in Whole Foods, Duane Reade and the Food Emporium.

Organic Source just came out with 3 sparkling juice drinks you might want to check out. They come in white grape, pomegranate acai and lime. The company actually started out as a brewing company and decided to make pure, non-alcoholic drinks as well. Peak Organic Brewing Company produced great organic beer out in Maine. Today they are also know as Organic Source and create natural drinks under 50 calories per serving, gluten-free and non-alcoholic. Check them out!

Those are a few that are worth checking out. Here are the names of some other companies you might want to look into as well: Uncle Matt's Organic, Lakewood Organic & Premium Juices, Columbia Gorge Organic, Elite Naturel, Steaz Energy and James White Fruit Juices.

Happy Drinking!

Awesome :) Making your own juice is great! Its always better to make things from scratch whether its your food or what you drink. That way you can use the best ingredients and you know what your putting in your body!

Great info! Thank you for sharing! Recently I started making my own drinks at home since I stopped drinking store bought juices for the most part in my earlier 20's and on the rare occasion that I do I put half water because they are too sweet.
