Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice

This is a sponsored post from BlogHer and Tropicana.

I was invited to work with Tropicana and BlogHer on a campaign to highlight the nutritional value of Tropicana’s Pure Premium Orange Juice. I immediately agreed since I am a big advocate of anything related to the promotion of eating and drinking nutritious food to keep your body strong and healthy. Not only am I reviewing this great product but am also offering a $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway for my readers!

BlogHer Reviewer

We Colombians love fruit juices and, in fact, we start and end almost all of our meals with them. Jugos de fruta, or fruit juices, are very popular in Colombian restaurants and homes. My mom would have a pitcher of some sort of fruit juice made for us every day when I was growing up. If you visit a Colombian home, they will offer you juice instead of soda, as that is part of our culture. I usually don’t substitute store bought fruit juice for real fruit, because many store bought juices contain only a small amount of actual fruit. Unless a juice is freshly squeezed, there may not be much real fruit in the glass. However, in Tropicana’s case, I think they have come up with a winning formula with Pure Premium orange juice. I keep this in our refrigerator for everyone in our house, pack it my kid’s lunch box, and in keep some in the diaper bag to have on hand for snack-time while on the go.

Tropicana’s Pure Premium orange juice is so natural that there are 16 fresh-picked oranges inside each 59-ounce container. So, when you drink a 12 ounce glass of orange juice, that’s like eating 2 fruit servings! Tropicana Pure Premium sounds like a smart choice to me. Doesn’t that make you want to pour yourself a glass right now?

Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice and Boston Consulting Group provided some really interesting misconceptions people have about juice in several areas:

•Sugar: People mistakenly think 100 percent juice has added sugar, Tropicana Pure Premium has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. – Less than half of survey respondents were aware that 100 percent juice has no added sugars
(JPA survey) – 54 percent of people think orange juice has added sugar (Boston Consulting Group)

•Nutrients: People don’t realize that 100 percent orange juice – including Tropicana Pure Premium – is one of the most nutrient-rich commonly consumed 100% fruit juices. – 56 percent think other juices are better than OJ. (Boston Consulting Group)

•Fruit Servings: Many people don’t realize that one 8 ounce glass of Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice counts as two fruit servings. – Less than half of respondents were aware that 100 percent juice can count as a serving from the fruit group (JPA survey) – 35 percent don’t think orange juice is a good way to get fruit servings (Boston Consulting Group)

Tropicana strongly supports whole fruit consumption, but data shows that seven out of 10 Americans don’t get enough fruit in their daily diets. Below are key nutrition messages about Tropicana Pure Premium.

•With important nutrients including vitamin C, folate, potassium and thiamin, there’s no room for added sugar, artificial flavors, sweeteners or water.

•At about 50 cents per 8-ounce glass – which equals two fruit servings – Tropicana Pure Premium provides a high-quality, nutrient-rich value for families.

• One eight-ounce glass of orange juice provides: a full day’s supply of vitamin C, which can help support a healthy immune system; as much potassium as a medium banana, which plays an important role in heart health; and a natural source of the 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.

Tropicana helps put the “good” in morning!

  2. We drink Tropicana Pure Premium all the time. I love the “real” taste of it – reminds me of growing up in Florida 🙂

  4. I have tried it and prefer the pulp kind. =) Did you know orange juice wakes you up better than coffee?

  8. Tropicana Premium has been a grocery staple at my house…since EVER!!!! We prefer the “Lots of Pulp” to drink and use the “Some Pulp” when for certain recipes (marinades, sauces, etc) – so fresh and natural just like actual oranges but without the squeezing!!

  13. I LOVE TROPICANA PURE PREMIUM! Not only me but my Colombian husband as well! He just got over a bad cold & I know that his hourly glass of Tropicana Pure Premium helped him cut the time in half. I’m a Florida girl & I know my oj & this is some tasty, fresh juice!

  14. I never knew any of these facts, I love OJ, but I don’t care for the taste of some OJ made from concentrate. Thank you for the information!!

  15. yes, it’s my brand of choice! Love it! We drink it daily in my house:)

    Thank you for the chance to win!

  17. Love it, my family won’t drink anything else, in fact I tried cheaper juice (shame on me) in same container, my son caught me on his first sip. Oh well can’t tamper with perfection right?

  19. We love Tropicana Pure Premium at our house. As a matter of fact my son who is in college drinks it before doing the naked quad run at school. He says it gives him energy and keeps him warm.

  20. I’ve tried lots of different orange juices with my morning protein shake mix. Some are too think and leave the protein mix clumpy and others just don’t taste right with it. But Tropicana Pure Premium with no pulp does the trick every time, It mixes well and makes the protein powder taste like a smoothie. It has become a must have on the weekly shopping list.

  21. I love tropicana juice!. Our family drinks it for breakfast and I also use it for recipes.

  24. I have been drinking and using Tropicana for years. It’s got the purest flavor and
    is great tasting.

  25. Have not tried it, but afte reading this review I will. It brought back memories of delicious fruit juices made by grandmother in Cartagena.

  26. I love Tropican Fruit juice. but I dont buy it as often as I would like because it’s a little pricie and I’m the only one in my house hold that works. This juice is soo healthy and yummy!

  27. We live off tropicana in our house…my kids don’t drink miilk and the doctor said our kids are actually getting more calcium from teh OJ anyways. I buy the kind with added Calcium and Vit. D!! We go through a carton a day!

  30. Never tried before but would like to try it. It looks so orangy in the photo!

  49. Yes, I have tried it and LOVE it. It’s the best tasting brand on the market. I’ve tried others to save money but they taste nasty compared to tropicana.

    kport207 at gmail dot com

  53. I make sure the whole family gets a good start with a high fiber cereal, skim milk, and a glass of 100% juice.

    kdkdcats at yahoo dot com

  54. I have tried it! It’s pretty good–I admittedly prefer grapefruit juice and/or orange juice mixed with other juices (like orange mango), but it’s great for plain OJ! 🙂

  55. Actually, the “good” in my morning starts with waking my kids and seeing their smiling faces. It doesn’t get better than that.
    THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!

  63. I, too, love freshly made juice! I have tried Tropicana Pure Premium…it is a great product. People think it is really hard to get enough fruits and vegetables in our everyday diets, but I think that it is relatively easy…with products like this it becomes easier. Thanks!

  65. Have never tried Tropicana as I live in Greece but it sounds great. Can I enter and if I win I can provide a US address for friends living in the US?

  66. I have tried Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice, and I am quite fond of it. We go though 1-2 cartons per week, and orange juice is one thing that I will not skimp on. I want “real” orange juice, not an orange favored drink or juice concentrate. Tropicana is one of the few brands that I buy.

  67. I have tried it, and I LOVE it. I love Orange juice.

  104. Tropicana Pure Premium is the ONLY orange juice I’ll buy. I guess growing up in Florida and squeezing my own juice turned me into an orange juice snob. I’ve tried others and they don’t come close to the quality of Tropicana!

  105. I have indeed tried Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice and I love it! We keep some on hand for breakfast all of the time and I also have some small ones saved in the fridge for when my husband has his low blood sugar moments.

    Thanks!

  106. My girlfriend loves pulp… and no she won’t strain the pulp out for me, haha. So, I love Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice with no pulp!

  108. It’s perfect in the morning. We always have2 in the fridge, the no pulp for me and with pulp for my fiance. =)

  109. I love Tropicana Pure Premium. It reminds me of summers in Florida with my family when fresh citrus was such a treat! To me it’s best with pulp, if it were just me I’d get the kids with extra pulp, but my hubby doesn’t agree. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  112. I love Tropicana Pure Premium. I love the options Tropicana provides with Lots of Pulp and No Pulp, which is the one I prefer. I have tried other brands and even used store brand because I thought I was saving money. However, Tropicana Pure Premium is very economical. My children enjoy a small glass with breakfast and I feel great giving them the boost they’ll need to keep them moving through their busy morning.

  113. I have tried the Pulp Free variety before and liked it.

  119. This is the Orange Juice served in our home for the past few months. I used to buy another well known brand, but Sam’s Club carries Tropicana so I bought some. It’s so much better than the others that I switched for good!

    To keep our family in Orange juice for a year it would take $6 x 52 = $312, but I’d happily claim the $100 card if I were to win.

    P.S. It’s neat you’re from Columbia. My husband is from Venezuela and we lived there for a while.

  123. Tropicana Premium juice is as fresh as it can get, it is like taking a bite out of an orange. Just the perfect way to start the morning, Tropicana Premium..simply, it can’t get better than that!

  125. Drinking Tropicana Pure Premium is the perfect way to start the day; to get a burst of sunshine. I also use it to enhance my BBQ Grilled foods.

  131. I just love Tropicana with lots of pulp, Its the only O J I buy.

  143. My family has tried Tropicana Pure Premium and we LOVE IT!!! All by itself or in a smoothie. It’s a household favorite

  147. I’VE TRIED IT & IT’S NOT BAD BUT TO ME, ORANGE JUICE IS ORANGE JUICE kytah00atyahoodotcom

  150. Having grown up with an orange and tangerine tree in our yard, I greatly appreciate the taste of fresh squeezed orange juice. Tropicana Pure Premium is that taste. I particularly like some pulp and lots of pulp variations for that crisp taste of fresh, juicy bits that come along with a just squeezed glass.

  152. So, now I understand why my mom always has juice. I was wondering about that. Yes, I live off orange juice. None of that concentrate stuff. Tropicana has always been a favorite because we know that it’s the real stuff!

  160. Growing up in a Colombian family, I can totally relate to the ever-present array of fruit juices made from real fruit at home, in restaurants, from street vendors, and in stores. Blackberry juice is most definitely my favorite, but even beet juice (yes, weird, I know) was tasty to me as a kid.

    However, growing up in the U.S. (and far away from the delightful variety of freshly available fruit from the Amazonian region), we rarely had “real” fruit juice. It’s incredibly difficult to find 100% juice that is not from concentrate and not loaded with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The good thing is that I grew up in Florida, land of delicious and nutritious oranges. Tropicana was always a favorite in my home when I was young and now, as an adult, it is the only brand of orange juice that I buy, because it is honestly labeled. I prefer the one with high pulp content, as it makes me feel like I squeezed the juice myself.

    In addition to being a tasty and nutritious drink, it is also great in recipes! Orange duck or chicken and orange glazes for cakes are excellent alternate ways to use Tropicana.

  161. Oh, I totally forgot about how I’ve used Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice in protein smoothies, too! O.J., blueberries (or açaí berries if you can find them), protein powder, one banana, blend it up and enjoy! So tasty and refreshing after a good workout!

  162. My family drinks Tropicana Pure Premium all the time, we use it in smoothies for after school snacks.

  165. I’ve tried Tropicana Pure Premium before, but only once as it doesn’t fit into our budget. It is very tasty though!

  166. We love Tropicans orange juice and I love the fact that it’s healthy and my girls will still drink it.

  168. I have tried it and we love it here at the house. We do like the one with pulp so it feels like if we just made it here at home!

  177. Oh yea, we love Tropicana OJ and stock up on them when they’re on sale at the grocery store!

  185. I have tried it many times. I had some this morning, and have a carton of Tropicana Pure Premium in my fridge right now.

  186. I have tried it and love it! It is the only oj that my son and I can drink without getting major heartburn. I love that it tastes fresh squeezed;p
    Thank you for the opportunity!

  188. I love Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice. I love that it comes in serveral varieties. I love pulp but son doesn’t so I can buy both.

  197. Yes, I have tried Tropicana Pure Premium. It’s actually a regular item we buy in our household.
