We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Every healthy eating message encourages more fruit and vegetable servings each day. Both of these products will help you achieve your goal.

Tropicana is always extending and tweaking their juice line. The latest Tropicana Farmstand flavor is Tropical Green, a 100% fruit and vegetable juice blend of sweet potato, grape, apple, banana, mango, pineapple, orange, yellow carrot, lime, spinach, kale and kiwi juice. It is available in single-serve (12-ounce) and family-sized (46-ounce) bottles. It has a mildly sweet, more fruity than veggie taste. For some the green color may be a little off-putting at first. A 1-cup (8-ounce) serving has 120 calories, no added sugar, 1, 250 IUs of vitamin A and 60 milligrams vitamin C.
