Homemade Constipation Juice for Toddlers & Kids Recipe
Introduction
This homemade constipation juice is a gentle and natural remedy perfect for toddlers and kids. Made with wholesome fruits like pear, strawberries, and prune, it’s both tasty and effective. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and can be adjusted to your child’s texture preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- 5-6 strawberries, frozen or fresh
- 1 prune
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the prune in a small bowl and cover it with hot water. Let it soak for 10 minutes to soften.
- Step 2: In a blender, combine the pear, strawberries, soaked prune, honey (if using), and 4 cups of water. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Step 3: Serve the juice as is or strain it for a smoother texture. To strain, you can use a fine mesh colander or a nut bag over a bowl and pour the juice through. The nut bag will give the thinnest juice consistency, while no straining will leave it pulpy. Adjust according to your child’s preference.
Tips & Variations
- Use frozen strawberries for a slightly chilled juice, which can be refreshing and soothing.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your child’s age and sweetness preference, or omit it entirely for a sugar-free option.
- If your child is sensitive to cold drinks, use room temperature water instead of cold water.
Storage
Store any leftover juice in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or shake well before serving, as settling may occur. It’s best served fresh but can be gently reheated to room temperature if preferred.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Is it safe to give honey to toddlers?
Honey should only be given to children over 1 year old due to the risk of botulism in infants. For younger toddlers, omit the honey or substitute with a small amount of natural sweetener approved for their age.
Can this juice help relieve constipation quickly?
This juice contains natural fiber and gentle laxative fruits like prunes and pears, which can help improve bowel movements. However, results vary and it may take a day or two to see effects. Always consult your pediatrician if constipation persists.
