Benefits of 100% natural Florida Orange Juice

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Florida Orange Juice for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am a HUGE orange juice fan. One of my favorite way to drink orange juice is to pour a cup or two into a blender with a handfull of frozen strawberries, half a frozen banana, and a scoop of vanilla yogurt. I also love to have a tall glass with a bowl full of cereal in the morning. I drink Florida Orange Juice just about every day.







DID YOU KNOW?

One 8‐ounce serving of 100 percent orange juice is a good source of potassium and folate and an excellent source of vitamin C.

  • These are three important nutrients that are under consumed in the United States, according to theDietary Guidelines for Americans.

One serving of 100 percent orange juice is more nutrient dense than many commonly-consumed 100 percent fruit juices.

  • A refreshing glass of 100 percent orange juice has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, which may be found in many fruit juice cocktails and sports drinks.

A key recommendation of theDietary Guidelines for Americansis to increase fruit intake.

  • One 8-ounce glass of 100 percent orange juice provides half of the USDA-recommended daily fruit intake for most adults, based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

·       Jumpstart your morning with a nutritious meal that includes protein, fruit and energizing nutrient-dense carbs.

o      Think you don’t have time for a complete breakfast? Blend your favorite fruit with 100 percent Florida orange juice and low-fat yogurt for a convenient, on-the-go smoothie.

o      Want to jazz up your weekend breakfast? Substitute 100 percent Florida orange juice for water in your pancake batter to give your meal a zesty, new taste.

·       When looking for a snack, think outside the box before trying to satisfy your cravings from roadside convenience stores or airport kiosks.

o      Plan ahead and take a cooler with portable, smart snacks that fit your on-the-go lifestyle like nuts, hummus with veggies, granola bars and 8-ounce cartons of 100 percent orange juice that will help give you the energy and nutrients you need to get through your travel day.

·       Outdoor grilling and dining is a great way for your family and friends to enjoy the warmer weather.

o      Protein is a vital part of your daily diet, as it provides nutrients and may help satisfy hunger longer than most fats or carbohydrates.

o      Choose leaner cuts of beef, pork, and poultry to grill and pair your protein with other nutrient-rich foods, such as high-fiber fruit, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Add 100 percent Florida orange juice to marinades for poultry and pork for a refreshing citrus zing and pour a glass of 100 percent orange juice to accompany your meal.
