Celebrity Chef Jeff Mauro Dishes Original Recipes and Helpful Tips for Families with Juicy Juice

"With 16 flavor varieties of 100% juice from Berry to Passion Dragonfruit, Juicy Juice offers better-for-you options that encourage kids to expand their taste palates," commented Ilene Bergenfeld, chief marketing officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. "Chef Jeff shares our commitment to food and family, and we're thrilled to partner with him to make it easy for parents and fun for kids to discover something new together."

Approximately 40 percent of millennials today are now parents. With a global outlook, these parents take pride in introducing their children to the world around them – through food, family meal time and more. In fact, according to a recent Foresight Factory study¹, nearly 75 percent of millennial moms are self-proclaimed foodies who make a point of introducing young kids to different cuisines and flavors.

"Fun and flavorful foods and drinks not only encourage kids to try new cuisines, but have the power to teach them about different cultures at lunch time, snack time or even special occasions," said Mauro. "I'm excited to bring my love for globally inspired dishes to families with Juicy Juice and show parents just how easy it is to explore new flavors, even in unexpected places like the juice aisle."

Consumers can visit the Juicy Juice Flavor Exploration website at www.JuicyJuice.com/flavorfulfun, a family-friendly resource with all of Chef Jeff's exclusive content, including flavorful recipes, tips and an upcoming three-part video series.
