We really like our orange juice. My favorite, as a mother is Florida's Natural. One of the reasons I like it is that it's the only national brand made with 100% Florida oranges. One of the other reasons, which I think is terrific is that the juice comes from a Co-op (Growers/Owners). It was the first of it's kind and started in 1933. I'm a BzzAgent (voluntarily giving my opinion on products). I'm not paid for my opinions but usually receive a product to try or some coupons. My son, CJ especially likes the taste of Florida's Natural because it takes like he's eating an orange except that he doesn't have to do any chewing..! I found a great recipe using the juice that I'd like to share and go to the cool website below when you get the chance. Anyone else like Florida's Natural? www.floridasnatural.com Orange Juice Cookies with Icing Ingredients: 2/3 cup shortening 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup Florida’s Natural orange juice 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix shortening, sugar and egg thoroughly. Stir in Florida’s Natural orange juice. Stir dry ingredients together. Blend in. Drop dough by rounded teaspoon, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown on edges. Watch carefully - they burn easily. Icing: Blend 2½ tbsp. of softened butter, 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar and 1½ tbsp. of Florida’s Natural orange juice until smooth. Ice cooled cookies.

Wow, this sounds awesome! I personally love "Simply Orange" - it has no pulp & is really smooth. Mmm! What about an Orange Julius recipe?
