Today: New year, new OJ.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Has anyone else grown weary of the “new year, new you” messaging swirling around the Universe lately?  I don’t know about you, but I feel like the same old me… regardless of how many new resolutions and goals I am working toward in 2012.  I did get a new post-workout beverage of choice, though.  So there’s that.

I recently received the opportunity to try out Tropicana’s new line of juice beverages, Trop50.  Trop50 boasts 50% less sugar and fewer calories than similar beverages, without adding artificial sweeteners.  While I may prefer firing up my juicer and squeezing my own cup of OJ (as in orange juice, not um… OJ Simpson), a tall glass of Trop50 with Calcium and Vitamin D hit the spot after a particularly tough boxing class this week.  No firing up of machinery required.  I liked the orange variety so much, that I headed back to the store (with my own cold, hard cash in hand) and picked up a bottle of Pomegranate Blueberry.  I am a sucker for antioxidants…  and I think it will mix well with vodka and soda water.  Let’s be real.

Speaking of being real, Trop50 recently launched a new Facebook app, giving humans like you and me the change to get real about resolutions and the motivation behind them.  Their resolution creator is rather fun to play with, and generates resolutions (and the true motivation behind them) that are far more exciting than my “brush your teeth for a full 2 minutes, morning and night.”  Share your “true resolution” and earn Trop50 coupons and the chance to win a $1,000 gift card.  That’ll buy you a whooole lotta juice, or OJ Simpson memorabilia.  No judgement here.

For more information, and to declare your true resolution, head on over to Facebook.

Disclosure:  I received a complimentary coupon, redeemable for one bottle of Trop50.  I was not compensated for sharing my opinions on the product, nor for posting this… post.  Cool, thanks.  

Also On Tap for Today:
