TROPICANA INTRODUCES TROPICANA ESSENTIALS TO POWER PARENTS THROUGH
THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL BREAKFAST RUSH
The new orange juice blend delivers the fresh orange taste families love
at a more affordable price point
CHICAGO, Aug. 26, 2025 — As the back-to-school season kicks into high gear, parents are juggling more than ever, planning, packing and penny-pinching their way through busy mornings. To help, Tropicana has introduced Tropicana Essentials, a new orange juice blend designed to ease the everyday hustle at a more affordable price point compared to premium orange juices. With the fresh orange taste families love and added vitamins and minerals, Tropicana Essentials delivers a simple win when it’s needed most, without sacrificing taste or quality.
Made with a delicious blend of orange, apple and pear juices, Tropicana Essentials is a good source of antioxidant vitamins C and E, calcium and vitamin D and contains no added sugar. Available in three varieties — Orange Blend (No Pulp), Orange Blend (Some Pulp) and Orange Mango Blend (No Pulp) — it’s the kind of small, satisfying win parents need to power through the school-year scramble.
“Back-to-school season can feel like a marathon, and Tropicana Essentials is exactly what families need to start the morning strong,” said Tina Lambert, chief marketing officer at Tropicana Brands Group. “Tropicana has always been committed to making great-tasting juice accessible to everyone. Tropicana Essentials continues that tradition with a nutritious, delicious, fresh taste at a more affordable price point.”
Tropicana Essentials is available now at major retailers nationwide, including Target, Kroger, Albertsons and more, at a suggested retail price of $3.89 for a 46-fluid-ounce bottle. For more information, visit tropicana.com.
