Horizon Organic Introduces New Lunchbox-Friendly Organic Products
Organic Smoothies, Single Serve Juices and Banana Single Serve Milk Offer Delicious Organic Choices for Kids
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 19, 2004—As a new school year approaches, parents will face the challenge of packing nutritious lunches that they feel good about and that will be a hit with their kids. To make packing lunches easier, Horizon Organic is introducing several new great-tasting organic lunchbox options that add to its line of kid-friendly choices: organic smoothies, single serve organic juices and organic banana single serve milk.
Continuing to expand its core product offerings, the nation's leading brand of certified organic foods recognizes that parents are taking a closer look at how food choices impact their family's overall health and well-being.
"Organic foods are produced without the use of antibiotics, added growth hormones or dangerous pesticides," says nutrition consultant Julie H. Burns, MS, RD. "Families can help reduce their kids' exposure to added chemicals in food by incorporating organic products into their diets. An easy way to do that is by providing great-tasting, organic foods in your child's lunchbox."
Horizon Organic Smoothies
Horizon Organic Smoothies are the first organic smoothies made especially for kids, blending nonfat organic yogurt and real organic fruit juices. They're available in three flavors kids love, including Wild Berry Blast, Strawberry Banana Splash and Tropical Fruit Punch, and are packaged in convenient four-packs.
The fat-free smoothies provide a good source of calcium, 100 percent of daily vitamin C requirements and are enriched with NutraFlora®, a prebiotic that increases calcium absorption and improves overall digestive health. The suggested retail price is $3.99 per four-pack.
Horizon Organic Single Serve Organic Juices
Horizon Organic Single Serve Organic Juices are made with organic fruit, grown without the use of dangerous pesticides, and are available in the three most popular flavors kids crave—apple, fruit punch and grape.
The juices, available in multi-packs of eight, are 100-percent juice and contain the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Packaged in convenient, shelf-stable juice boxes, they're ideal for active kids. The suggested retail price is $5.49 per eight-pack.
Horizon Organic Banana Single Serve Milk
New Horizon Organic Banana Single Serve Milk is the latest addition to the brand's popular single serve milk line up. The reduced-fat milk joins five existing flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, orange cream and 2 percent milk. The suggested retail price is $1.09 per serving.
"Moms will love these new products because they're organic, nutritious and convenient for a lunchbox or backpack," says Burns. "Kids will love them because they're delicious and easy to drink on-the-go."
Other products in Horizon Organic's line of certified organic, kid-friendly grab-and-go choices are Yo-Yo's lowfat yogurt cups, Yogurt Tubes, mozzarella and colby cheese sticks, pudding and fruit jels.
