Cool Off with this Easy Minute Maid Sparkling Peach Punch Recipe

June 22, 2013 by Kathryn 12 Comments

There’s nothing better than sipping a cold, refreshing beverage on a hot summer’s day and once again, Minute Maid has teamed up with the Canadian Living Test Kitchen to create an amazing assortment of cool concoctions to quench your thirst!

I always love trying the newest recipes from Minute Maid and so when I was given the chance to whip up one of these tasty drinks and see what I thought, I couldn’t resist. I was tempted to try making a nice summer Sangria, but my boys love fruity summer drinks as much as I do, so I eventually decided to make the non-alcoholic Sparkling Peach Punch recipe.

Take the Hassle Out of Breakfast with Berry Rolled Oat Rounds and Other Recipes from Minute Maid

March 5, 2013 by Kathryn 16 Comments

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it does bring challenges, especially on a busy weekday morning! Recently Minute Maid conducted a national poll to see just how Canadians approach that all-important morning meal:

  • Solo eaters: Eight in ten Canadian families don’t sit down for breakfast together
  • Do as I say, not as I do: While most Canadian parents would feel worried (41%), guilty (27%) or disappointed (31%) if their children went a day without breakfast, 14% of parents still skip breakfast themselves
  • Timing the challenge: Two in five Canadian parents say their biggest breakfast challenge is lack of time to prepare; a third say it’s a lack of time to eat in the morning at all.

In my own province, a lack of time to prepare breakfast was found to be the biggest morning challenge and I can certainly relate to that! Between packing lunches, getting my boys dressed for school and bundling us all up to face the cold winter weather, there’s not a whole lot of time left to cook a hearty breakfast! Fortunately, Minute Maid has partnered with the Canadian Living Test Kitchen to create some recipes that are both hearty and convenient. I decided to try the Berry Rolled Oat Rounds since both my boys are big fans of oatmeal. [Read more…]

Minute Maid Wants to Give You and Canadian Children a Great Start to the Day-Giveaway #MinuteMaidBCC

October 29, 2012 by Kathryn 209 Comments

A few weeks ago, I shared the news about Minute Maid’s latest commitment to Breakfast Clubs of Canada. The company has supported this worthy organization for years and once again has helped to ensure that children across the country start the day with their stomachs full and their minds ready for learning.

School mornings are often hectic for families with busy schedules and early start times. Minute Maid understands that for many, finding the time to make and eat a nutritious breakfast can be a challenge. [Read more…]

Breakfast Clubs of Canada Will Help More Than 100,000 Children This Year Thanks to Minute Maid #MinuteMaidBCC

September 18, 2012 by Kathryn 9 Comments

minute-maid-orange-juiceI think almost all us busy parents occasionally struggle with getting our children to eat breakfast before the family rushes out the door in the morning. It can be frustrating at times, but it’s nothing compared to the anguish of Canadian parents that are forced to send their children off to school with nothing to eat at all.

Approximately one in every ten Canadian children is at risk of starting their day on an empty stomach and in such a wealthy country, that’s a statistic that simply shouldn’t exist. That’s why I was so excited to hear that this fall, Minute Maid has once again partnered with Breakfast Clubs of Canada and Club des petits déjeuners du Québec to help ensure that every child starts the day with a full stomach and the energy to get through the day. In fact, the company has pledged a commitment of $1.5 million dollars’ worth of 100% juice over the next three years. [Read more…]

And to help you stay cool and refreshed all season long, Minute Maid and the experts at the Canadian Living test kitchen have created a mouth-watering assortment of drinks and treats guaranteed to beat the heat!

I created the tasty Lime in the Coconut Cocktail last week and it was absolutely scrumptious so I decided to whip up this purple punch recipe for Sparkling Grape Lemonade this week!

I have to admit, I really don’t care much for regular lemonade; it’s too sour to suit me. But the tart citrus taste was absolutely heavenly when blended with the Grape Punch. And the carbonation of the Sprite added the perfect fizzy finishing touch to this purple punch recipe!

For the coolest summer entertaining ever, Minute Maid also has some great tips for your special gatherings:

  • Want to make homemade ice-pops but don’t have moulds? Use disposable paper cups and and wooden ice-pop sticks
  • Jazz up your glass of lemonade or fruit punch by using frozen grapes as ice cubes
  • Don’t like your juices too sweet? Simply add more water to your Minute Maid frozen juice or punch

Minute Maid has lots of other great recipes and summer entertaining tips to help make your summer gatherings the talk of the town, so stop by the website today.
