Start Your Day with some OJ!


In our house, the supply of orange juice is the one thing that never keeps up with the demand. I swear, my kids would swim in it if they could.
OJ is huge part of their every day diet.
It is the one thing that they all ask for every morning before heading off to school.
The Alex and I also enjoy our orange juice as well, (I however like to have mine later in the evening as part of an adult beverage).
Of all of the brands of OJ available today, our family is definitely brand dedicated and enjoys Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice over any other.
Our family has a few daily rituals that bring us together and meal time is one of them. Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner as a family we like to share tidbits of our day with each other in addition to upcoming things we are excited about.

Compared to all of the other things my kids could be drinking, I would prefer that they drink orange juice over anything because it is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients that their busy hardworking bodies need!

*Tropicana is the single largest buyer of Florida fruit, purchasing approximately 11.6 billion oranges from Florida each year.
*Tropicana uses groves in 22 different Florida counties, primarily in central and southern Florida.
*The different microclimates and soil types mean that fruit reaches peak maturity at different times, allowing Tropicana to harvest ripe fruit throughout the    entire growing season.

*Many Florida growers sample oranges by cutting them into a cup shape, allowing for drinking juice directly from the fruit.
*Tropicana’s roots in Florida go back a long way. Some of its current grower relationships date to the 1960s.
