This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Florida Orange Juice for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post about Florida Orange Juice and told you I have been trying to drink more.
One of my readers, Holly, left a comment on that post saying, “Hey Traci :) Florida’s Natural is the only orange juice we buy. It is one of the only orange juices that has ONLY Florida oranges. Most of the other brands have imported juice from other countries. We need to support our growers in Florida! Since we live on a farm, we appreciate supporting local. My husband and my dad are beekeepers and have the best local honey around.”
How cool is that? Makes me want to drink Florida’s Natural Orange Juice even more. Thanks, Holly!
Hectic schedules often make it challenging to maintain a healthy diet and manage a balanced lifestyle,
but consuming a diet rich in nutrients is important to give us the energy and nutrition we need to help
conquer the day.

Did you know that 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?
In order to get some more OJ in my diet, I looked around for some new recipes.
