Aleigha likes her Barley Life dry, straight from spoon to mouth. However, some children may like it best mixed with water or in a smoothie. Barley Life is a whole food juice concentrate. Whole food concentrates are one of the easiest ways to increase your child's daily vegetable intake, greatly enhancing their immune system and reducing the risk of many chronic diseases. One rounded teaspoon of Barley Life equals four child servings of greens!
