Put The Good in Your Morning with Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice and $100 Visa Card Giveaway

It’s not always easy for me to get my son to want to eat his breakfast. Since I never give into his early morning chocolate cravings, sometimes it can be a fight. It’s funny when I argue with him about why he can’t have candy and soda in the morning, it always brings back memories of my childhood. I use to have the same argument with my mom, but I always felt unloved because my 2 cousins who lived across the street got to have soda and candy bars for breakfast. I thought I was a victim of child abuse in the worst way, not getting the goodies I craved. Little did I know.
For my family to stay in optimum health, I like for us both to get protein, a small amount of carbs and at least 1 serving of fruit in the morning. We usually eat eggs and toast, or an egg, sausage or bacon sandwich. Sometimes we eat fruit alongside our breakfast, but I always also make sure we have orange juice. Being Floridians, we know how important and nutritious oranges are. Tropicana is the biggest purchaser of Florida oranges, and to support our state’s economy and agriculture, I choose Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice.
Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice is 100% juice, from the best oranges, Florida oranges. Their juice has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Florida oranges aren’t widely available outside the state, you usually find California oranges in most supermarkets. Oranges from California are big and attractive, but lack the taste the little, sometimes not as attractive Florida oranges have.
Orange juice is also very nutritious. Did you know one 8 ounce glass has 2 servings of fruit? With so many people not getting adequate fruit in their diet, juice is better than no fruit at all. And orange juice is so nutritious, a glass has a full day’s supply of Vitamin C, as much potassium as a medium banana and is a natural source of B vitamin folate, which helps the body make new cells and DNA and may reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spinal cord.

This is a battle my 16-year-old and I are having. She has quit eating breakfast. She does eat it on the weekends if you call noon breakfast. LMBO. I, however, love Trop50 and have it every day.
My kids enjoy good ole bacon, eggs and OJ! I’m always sure they will eat that!

I try to include at least one fruit and veggie, or a drink that incorporates one or both, into breakfast.
I’ve been drinking Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice for pretty much half my lifetime. and my kids have had it their entire lives. It’s the perfect way to wake up.
They like fruit so I try to give fresh fruit daily as well whole grain breads with jam or peanut butter.
I LOVE Tropicana …no pulp please =)

My children are now adults but when they were living at home we always had a well balanced breakfast. Fortunately they aren’t picky eaters so they were very accepting of everything they were served.
We eat healthy at breakfast time by keeping healthier cereals, low fat milk and real juice on hand.

I make sure their cereal is whole grain rich.

To get my girl to eat healthy I have all the things she likes for breakfast. Sometimes she just eats cereal or maybe a fruit smoothie. We use frozen fruit, yogurt and OJ in our smoothies.
I help my kids eat a healthy breakfast by offering them healthy choices. We don’t eat any sugary foods for breakfast. They do have choices but I make sure they’re nutritious and delicious, like Tropicana oj.

No kids, but my husband and I make sure to eat a protein-packed breakfast and always have juice.

When things get hectic, its easy to grab something unhealthy and go. That is why I try to keep the freezer/fridge stocked with healthy on-the-go options like single serve Naked smoothies and fresh fruit!

Love Tropicana, wish they would put all the good things into one bottle though; high pulp, calcium, and vitamin d. Haven’t tried the premium one.
i set an example by going for a strenuous walk or class at the gym, then eat fiber one and almond milk or egg whites

I usually add a banana to their cereal and always include a glass of orange juice
Try to make a good influence on them by eating healthy…if they see us eating healthy then they’ll be more likely to do so.

I love smoothies. They are great if you are in a rush or if you have all the time in the world. They pack a huge nutritional punch and in the summer when blended with ice they are like a frozen drink! Using fresh fruit and OJ with ice in a blender = win!

I make sure my kids get protein and fiber for a healthy breakfast.
I have some thing with protein and complex carbs thats tasty- toast and peanutbutter is a favorite
We don’t keep unhealthy or junk foods in our home. If we want to eat fast food or fattening foods we go out, and it’s an occaisional treat. Or, we save it for one day a week, usually on Sundays.

Thanks!
I make sure the kids get up and have plenty of time to eat breakfast before heading off to school. It’s harder than it used to be now that they are teens, but I keep after them, because I know how important a good breakfast is.
I take the box cereal out of the mix, opting for oatmeal instead

Fresh fruit and oatmeal always makes a healthy breakfast for us. Thanks for the contest!
I make sure we have healthy food options at all times. If we don’t have the junk in the house, they don’t eat it. They actually prefer the healthier options over the sugary cereals and toaster pastries.
Thanks!

On Sunday’s, I will make a bunch of different flavored waffles for my kids like banana waffles, cinnamon waffles, or some awesome recipe I find online and freeze them for my kids to enjoy on school mornings. It’s quick and works great!

We keep whole grain bagels on hand and spread them with peanut butter on mornings we are in a huge hurry. We always serve milk or fruit juice along side them, sometimes both.

Sometimes it’s a big rush in the morning, so I try to keep healthy on-the-go breakfast foods available, things like Larabars and Cliff Bars.

I don’t have any children in the home right now but when my daughter was home I tried to give her a healthy breakfast every morning. I would not have sweetened cereal in the house.
I help the kids eat healthy by putting (or sneaking) fresh fruit into everything they eat/drink – besides orange or apple juice, I’ll add bananas or strawberries to their cereal, oatmeal, or pancakes; put fresh fruit preserves on their toast instead of butter, or make them fruit/yogurt parfaits. Thanks!

I’m not sure it’s really helping as requiring my kids to eat a healthy breakfast…lol…we do not buy a lot of sugary things for breakfast foods..
I try to make sure they have smoothies or something quick to grab on the run (my girls are teens to 20s)

I only offer healthy things for breakfast-such as whole grain cereal, Tropicana OJ, whole grain toast, and fruit.

We have plain cheerios with 2% milk, yogurt, blueberries and orange juice for breakfast.
Breakfast always consist of a protein some fiber and of course fresh fruit with milk
we have fresh fruit and protein for breakfast, it gives them a great start for the day!
BY serving eggs and toast, no sweets
I make breakfast “bag lunches” the night before. I include a box of snack pack cereal, a pre- poured cup of milk and some type of fresh fruit in the bag.
I like them to eat protein with their breakfast. Lucky for me they love oatmeal and fruit, homeade granola. I never allowed very much of the sugary foods for breakfast. Now they have formed very good eating habits on their own.
The kids typically have cereal, but always Tropicana orange juice with it!

Breakfast just isnt an option in our house. a must. thats how!
Lovefool827 (at) yahoo (dotcom)
I make breakfast from scratch and use our chicken or duck eggs or make almond flour bread-whatever I plan on giving them. I try to vary it but chose healthy meals that they enjoy.

We have a lot of oatmeal and a side of fruit
We limit our consumption of processed foods and cook primarily from scratch that way we know that we’re eating healthy.
I encourage others to eat healthy by eating healthy myself and only keeping healthy options in the house!
I serve things as fresh and simple as possible. Homemade is the best!
We are a Tropicana only family. We love the with pulp and extra calcium. So juicy!!
I eat a healthy breakfast myself so that my daughter will want to do the same.
