FIRST ITEM YOU RECOMMEND ADDING TO YOUR MENU
At their peak right now and available nationwide, California Valencia oranges are a juicy and delicious addition to your summer meals perfect as a snack, with a ton of nutrients to support a strong and healthy body. Try them in a salad. Try a radicchio, fennel, and Valencia orange salad that’s light and filling. Or mix it up on the grill, using Valencia oranges for a glaze on kebabs the citrus compliments anything you throw on the grill. And my perfect summer beverage a Fizzy Valencia Orange Margarita. California Valencia oranges offer 70% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C in just one orange! For more information about California oranges visit www.californiacitrusgrowers.com

HEALTHIER HABITS INTACT WHEN ON THE ROAD
Often, the hardest part of taking a vacation or a road trip getaway is staying on track with healthy habits, which is why I always love to pack Premier Protein High Protein Shakes. The newest flavor, Chocolate Peanut Butter is the ideal balance of sweet and salty and keeps me away from unhealthy chocolate peanut butter temptations on the road. Plus, it has 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, and 1 gram of sugar and antioxidants Vitamins C & E which help support a healthy immune system. It’s the perfect healthy choice and who doesn’t want creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate flavor in every sip? As a former professional dancer, and now a fitness expert, I can tell you that protein is key for stamina and these shakes taste so good it’s hard to believe they are actually good for you.
