Here are 4 delicious smoothie recipes using Natalie’s Orchid Island orange juice! Great for breakfast or a snack!
I love orange juice!
I prefer it over any other type of juice when I am eating breakfast. I grew up with my late father making breakfast and pouring up a glass of cold fresh Florida oranges with exactly three ice cubes for me and my two younger siblings.
Good juice is sentimental to me.
So quite naturally when Natalie’s Juice Company reached out to me to share their products I was eager to try them. (Although they have sponsored this post, you can always count on me to be 100% honest. And let me tell you, this is my favorite right now)!
I’m sharing the benefits of choosing Natalie’s Orchid Island Orange Juice, plus 4 delicious smoothie recipes you’ll love!
Why Choose Natalies’s Orchid Island Orange Juice?
Single Ingredients
When I read up on the nutrition facts, I thought, just one ingredient? Hmm… must be good! And it is!
Before this, I’d opt for the store organic brand but this has proved to be so much better. When my younger brother tasted it, he said “Yeah, all those other juice companies have to step their game up”. The next day he asked, “Can I have this last orange juice?” The following day, he Facetimed me from his job drinking a bottle while on break.
It’s safe to say we are both obsessed!
Fresh, Natural, High Quality
We bought another brand (from concentrate) OJ after tasting Natalie’s. I’ve never poured OJ out because I don’t believe in waste at ALL, but I had to. Once you go Nat’s it’s hard to go back!
It was really hard to drink anything else after you know what fresh tastes like.
In today’s day and age, I do believe in supporting companies that bring you fresh and quality products. We’ve already got so much on our plates, worrying about what’s in the things we consume shouldn’t be one of them!
Here’s a quality statement from their website:
“From fresh Florida citrus juices to wholesome nutritious fruit & vegetable blends, Natalie’s selections offer clean, handcrafted products for the juice connoisseur.
All Natalie’s juices are made The Natalie’s Way: honestly sourced, squeezed fresh, made in small batches, & minimally processed without the use of additives, preservatives, or GMOs.”
Woman-Owned
Natalie’s is a woman owned company that prides itself on having orange juice that has one ingredient only!
They also have a variety of other juices outside of orange that you can use to make delicious smoothie recipes. (I purchased the strawberry lemonade in half gallon size, and the relax which has passion flower (look up those benefits)).
They offer over 20 juices and juice blends for every taste and health benefit. They even have a margarita mix. If you have specific wellness goals, you can chose specific drinks to improve your lifestyle:
- Their Relax blend which uses chamomile and other sweet flavors to bring calm to the mind and relaxes the soul.
- The Resilient anti-inflammatory blend with Vitamin C, elderberry, turmeric and ginger.
- And their Aura blend which balances the body and lifts your mood.
It is safe to say that this brand will be a staple in my fridge because of the way they produce their products and the amazing taste that I love!
