Advantages: Tasty, healthy, packed with vitamins

Disadvantages: None

We'd run out of orange juice (a sin in my house as my husband drinks it by the gallon load) so I popped to the local store to buy him some more (he had a bit of a cold and man flu so of course could not move from the couch!) We normally buy Tropicana but they didn't have any so I just bought the local store brand thinking it couldn't really be that different. How wrong I was, now I appreciate just how good Tropicana is.
We normally get the smooth, no bits version, 100% pure squeezed orange juice. This, I believe is what gives it the real edge against other orange juices. It tastes just like drinking a real orange, it is thick and definitely does not have a water mixed with orange taste like the one I bought from the local shop. They say on their carton that the picked fruit is squeezed within 24 hours and that it is cultivated by experts, ripened by the natural rainfall and the warmth of the sun. This is probably why to me it does taste of oranges and nothing else.

Tropicana are proud of the fact that it is not made from concentrate and has no added sugar or water. It also does not have a sugary taste like some other orange juices, to me it tastes pure and healthy.

Tropicana are a very healthy option as well and you should always try to have a glass in the morning with your breakfast. One 150ml glass equals one of your 5 a day portions of fruit and vegetables as recommended by health and medical experts. I know a lot of people find it hard to get in 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day so by just going to the fridge and pouring a glass of orange juice, Tropicana make it very easy to start the morning off healthily!
Also, a 200ml glass has you full days supply of vitamin C, so excellent if you do have a cold or for just keeping your immune system up. Once thing I wasn't aware of is that it is also a good source of folic acid, essential is you are pregnant or trying for a baby so another easy way to keep healthy without going to extra effort. Each 200ml glass has only 86 calories so a pretty healthy drink option.

If you aren't really a fan of orange juice they do have other flavours such as Golden Grapefruit and Sanguinello (blood oranges), both packed with the same healthy nutrients.
The best thing I like about Tropicana as well is that their cartons are recyclable so as well as protecting the country's health they are protecting the environment. The cartons come with a screw on cap which is nice because it means there are no leaks in the fridge which can make it go sticky.

All in all the best thing you can do for yourself in the morning!

Summary: A glass a day with breakfast will yield you such incredible healthy benefits!
