Staying healthy with Tropicana Orange Juice - Visa Gift Card Giveaway

This is a sponsored post from BlogHer and Tropicana.

It's a big job keeping kids and families healthy. There's so many more temptations out there compared to when I was growing up, and kids have to learn to make healthy choices.

All 3 of our kids play sports, so they get lots of exercise, and we try to enjoy that outdoor time as a family, as well. But, they also like video games and using the computer, so we have to make sure they get a balance in their activity.

We're very lucky that they like most fruits and vegetables. But, sometimes as they get older and busier and eat away from home, it's harder to make sure they're getting what they need.

I try to keep fruits and vegetables interesting in the refrigerator so they'll choose them while they're standing there staring at the food (you know what I'm talking about). For example, for some reason, matchstick carrots have become wildly popular around here. I guess it beats the same old baby carrots day in an day out. Whatever the reason, I'll take it because everyone is eating carrots.

Fruit arranged in some sort of container seems to get more attention here, too. If I stack apples in a bowl, they go a lot faster than they do when they're just in the fridge. And, no one seems to be able to resist the call of the oranges in the little wooden crate.

Additionally, Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice can play a part in helping people get their recommended servings of fruit since it counts as two servings of fruit, and you can drink it on the go.

A 59-ounce container has16 fresh-picked oranges squeezed inside, and an eight-ounce glass of orange juice provides a full day’s supply of vitamin C, as much potassium as a medium banana, and it's a natural source of the B vitamin folate.

Pledge to squeeze more fruits and veggies into your day & Tropicana will
help kids in need. Tropicana will donate one 8-oz glass of orange juice to
the USDA School Breakfast and Summer Food Service programs, up to 184,375
8-oz glasses. Please pledge by going to http://bit.ly/gAU7Eq . Promo will
end 12/31/11.
