The current juices in rotation for my kids are all from Trader Joes: 100% tart cherry, 100% pomegranate, and a blend of carrot and beet with lemon. What we like about them is that they are not made from concentrates (juice concentrates are pretty much like sugar imo) and none of them have a super sweet taste, like apple juice. They also all have a lot of color and body so they look appealing, and not watery, when diluted with seltzer.
So bananas aren't juicy but carrots and beets are? Ha ha ha.

Ceres (can get it at WF) is expensive but really good. You can cut it with seltzer if you'd like.
Vruit is also good. Also at WF.

I get Knudsen organic when I get juice. Pricey, but it's just juice with no fillers or other ingredients.
That said, I understand juice isn't the best thing in the world for kids. But without prune juice and papaya juice, my kid wouldn't poop at all!

what juices do you buy? I am scared to buy apple juice 
Would love some single-fruit recommendations like banana. What brands and where do you buy them?
