*written by Molly Pass, Dietetic Intern through University of Minnesota School of Public Health It’s spring time and who doesn’t love to pour themselves a glass of juice to enjoy outside! Here is some good news for you – this week’s dietitians choice is Simply® Beverages which includes Simply® Smoothies, Orange Juice and Lemonade.
Not only is juice a great source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C in orange juice which can benefit the growth, development and repair of all body tissues, but juice can also be a source of fiber if you choose the correct juice – with PULP! Pulp offers fiber which helps with your digestive health and can lower your risk of other chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Although the amount of fiber in orange juice with pulp is minimal and some labels will still say 0, adding it to your diet can be a benefit overtime. The taste is the same, but the benefits are greater! Additionally, Simply Smoothies also contains fiber which will give you the same benefits as the pulp in orange juice. Simply® Beverages can be enjoyed on their own or you can get creative to use them in recipes and cocktails. Check out this recipe to make Simply® Lemonade Lemon Bars. These just might be your new favorite dessert for the family. You can find these Simply® Beverages on sale this week for 2 for $7 for these varieties: 32 ounce smoothies, 52 ounce Orange Juice or 89 ounce of Lemonade.
