New From Arizona Kidz: Arnold Palmer Half & Half

We've added a new drink to our lunchbox beverage rotation, Arizona Kidz Arnold Palmer Half & Half. My oldest 3 are big fans of the popular half lemonade half ice tea drink named for golfing legend Arnold Palmer.

Keeping kid-conscious, Arnold Palmer Kidz is caffeine-free, contains only 70 calories per bottle and is 100% natural – meaning it contains no preservatives, no artificial colors and no artificial flavors. Instead, this beverage is sweetened with pure cane sugar and Reb A, a natural alternative to sugar found in the leaves of Stevia plants, which contains no calories and is actually 200 times sweeter than sugar.

In order to protect the natural ingredients inside, Arnold Palmer Kidz is contained in a recyclable PET amber bottle, which keeps light and oxygen from altering the antioxidants or flavor. It looks cool too, featuring a golf ball shape at the bottle neck.

For every bottle purchased, AriZona Beverages will donate 2% of the profits made to children at the Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando, Florida.
