I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Florida Department of Citrus. I received promotional item to thank me for participating.
Football season is almost here and our family is gearing up for an exciting season. My husband has always been a big football fan but it’s taken me a little longer to jump on board. To me I love having a team to cheer on a root for, it just makes it so much more exciting to me. This year we will be cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, which has always been a favorite of ours. Game days are a great way for families to come together and even if you don’t like the game so much you can still join in on the festivities by creating some fun game day inspired dishes.

As a mom, making nutritious choices for my family is important. That’s one of the reasons why I love 100% Florida Orange Juice. It’s a great way to provide my family with vitamin C plus other essential nutrients like potassium, folate and thiamin, plus the whole family loves the taste! One 8-ounce glass of Florida OJ Is an excellent source of vitamin C, delivering more than 100 percent of the Daily Value. It counts as one cup of fruit, according to the USDA MyPlate Fruit Group recommendations and serves as a good source of folate, thiamin and also potassium, a mineral important for muscle function and nerve transmission. Wanna know the best part? Its free of fat, sodium, cholesterol and added sugar! To get into the tailgating spirit, I recommend the following recipe that tastes great and highlights the versatility of 100% Florida OJ.

Another great recipe idea would be to take 100% Florida OJ and pour it into popsicle molds. Freeze for a couple of hours and then you have Orange popsicles. This is a favorite for our whole family. Florida OJ recently threw a tailgating event in New York City on Aug. 19. The special guest was sports broadcaster Erin Andrews will be shared her top tailgating tips.
