Florida and oranges go hand in hand. That’s why my family starts the day off with a glass of 100% Florida Orange Juice. We all seem to agree that it makes food taste better-- from cereal and eggs to bacon and croissants, 100% Florida Orange Juice pairs well with just about every breakfast item.
Now, all this time I’ve been serving 100% Florida Orange Juice because we love the refreshing taste, but there are other amazing reasons – 5 to be exact – to continue to our daily routine of starting the day with OJ.
Did you know that most families don’t get enough fruits and vegetables in their daily diet? My daughter is a great example. I think she does pretty well on getting her veggies in on a daily basis, but not fruit. She basically avoids eating whole piece of fruit—no bananas, berries or even citrus! Odd, right? What’s even more strange is that she will drink a cold glass of 100% Florida Orange Juice! And I’m not complaining-- an 8 ounces of 100% Florida Orange Juice is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of potassium and folate, with no added sugar.
And 100% Florida Orange Juice isn’t just for breakfast. By simply adding in this naturally nutrient-rich beverage to the family diet, both at breakfast and throughout the day, you can easily make a change to help start the New Year right!
Here’s a few small changes you can make to get 100% Florida Orange Juice in your family's diet.
Breakfast – The first meal of the day is the easiest. You can serve a glass of 100% Florida Orange juice to your kids with whatever they’re eating for breakfast. Don’t forget your glass – it’s a great source of Vitamin C, which is important for the formation of collagen!
Lunch - Try adding 100% Florida Orange Juice to a smoothie made with fresh fruits and greens like spinach or kale. Remember there’s no added sugar, so you’ll get natural sweetness without anything artificial! Fresh juice smoothies are great for after-school snacks, too!
Dinner – Did you know you can cook with 100% Florida Orange Juice? Yep! Many homemade dressings and marinades call for the delicious juice, making it a fun new component of your pantry.
I'm going to continue to serve my family 100% Florida Orange Juice as often as possible. It not only taste great, but it has amazing benefits!
