Think Your Drink Go For 100% Juice!
Background
Many people love to drink juice. Many people think drinking juice is healthyand it can be. But you
must be an educated consumer to fgure out which type of juice is good for you.
Many drinks say on the label that they contain juice, but if you investigate, you will discover that some
drinks only contain a little juice and a lot of sugar! That means a lot of calories and not a lot of nutrition
benefts.
Always look for 100% juiceit has many vitamins, and the sugar is natural, not added.
Set-up
Set up a juice-tasting station with these supplies:
Why 100% Fruit Juice cards
Think Your Drink cards
A bottles of 100% juice and a juice drink
Nutrition Facts about 100% juice and a juice drinkplace the nutrition info beside each sample
bottle
Small cups flled with 100% fruit juice (be careful not to fll cups all the way to the top!)
Station Managers Job
Help your friends fgure out what drink is the best by conducting a taste test of typical drinks
available in corner stores and sharing information about the drinks. You can do this by:
Showing them the difference between 100% juice and juice drinks.
Explaining the nutritional benefts (especially vitamins) of 100% juice.
Giving them samples of 100% juice.
Ready to go! As customers visit your juice testing station, be ready to:
Show the different types of juice and juice drinks and their nutrition info.
Ask customers to guess which one has the most nutrients and which is the healthiest.
Offer a taste test of 100% juice.
Give each person one Why 100% Fruit Juice card and one Think Your Drink card.
Handout 4
Have a LOW-FAT Snack Attack!

Many of us love to eat chips. They are an inexpensive, tasty, crunchy snackand theyre easy to fnd.
The problem is eating a lot of chips means eating a lot of fat and cholesterol, and that can be bad for
us.
The good news is that there are other crunchy snacks that have less fat. Pretzels and baked chips both
taste great and are about the same price as regular chips.
Set-up
Set up a snack-testing station with these supplies:
Sample packages of regular chips, baked chips, and pretzels
Baked Chips vs. Regular Chips vs. Pretzels handout
Small sandwich bags or plates with about six pretzels or six baked chips
Oven-fried french fries recipe cards
Nutrition Facts about regular chips, baked chips, and pretzels place the nutrition info beside
each sample package

choosing a healthier (lower-fat) option next time they want chips. You can do this by:
Showing them the nutritional difference between regular chips, baked chips, and
pretzels.
Explaining the nutritional benefts (low-fat) of baked chips and pretzels.
Giving them samples of baked chips and pretzels.
Ready to go! As customers visit your snack-testing station, be ready to:
