(FAMILY FEATURES) Before heading out the door for pool days, bike rides, summer camps and other family-favorite activities, there’s one key component to starting your day on the right foot: a nutritious breakfast. Filling morning meals help you and your loved ones power through all summer has to offer, whether you’re getting active on a hike or family walk or simply soaking in the sun.
Paired with a healthy lifestyle, an 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice includes key nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, thiamin and potassium, as well as calcium and vitamin D (in fortified juices), that help support the immune system all year long. Summer is no exception – particularly with its usual hectic schedules that include sports and other outdoor activities. Plus, it’s fat-free, cholesterol-free, sodium-free, has no added sugar and is made up of almost 90% water, which means it’s a healthy complement to your water hydration routine – another must during the hot summer months.
While delicious and nutritious on its own, an option like Florida Orange Juice can also be enjoyed as part of morning favorite recipes like French toast. As a meal that can satisfy the entire family, this Orange Juice French Toast with Infused Whipped Cream offers a twist on a breakfast classic.
As a delicious addition to any diet, 100% orange juice is a perfect way to sit down together at the table before tackling the day’s adventures.
