There was a Grace Kennedy Juice Making Expert at our recently held Junior Carnival Launch using Caribbean juices to create an Energy Drink for junior revelers (pictured).

Taking part in junior carnival parade is always fun event. But, the dancing, the heat and length of the parade route can be a drain on a young Mas Player.   Parents can give their junior revelers an all-natural Caribbean energy drink made of Sorrel and Coconut. 

Sorrel is a leafy herb that is found throughout the Caribbean. The Sorrel oblong leaf is added to salads. Its red berries are used in sorrel jams and juices.  It is an excellent source of Vitamin C, A and B9.

The Coconut is also found in the Caribbean.  The water inside a coconut is harvested after a coconut has been removed from the tree. The water is a natural energy drink due to its high potassium and mineral content.
