- August 23, 2011
Disney Special Agent Oso: Three Healthy Steps is an animated children's show that follows the adventures of Oso, a special agent bear, as he helps teach children about healthy habits. In season 1 episode 4, titled "Make Orange Juice," Oso is tasked with helping a young girl named Sasha learn how to make her own healthy orange juice.
Sasha begins the episode by telling Oso that she loves orange juice but her parents always buy it from the store. Oso informs her that making orange juice at home is easy and much healthier than store-bought juice, which often contains added sugar and preservatives.
To help Sasha learn how to make orange juice, Oso guides her through three healthy steps. The first step is to choose fresh, ripe oranges. Oso explains that the best oranges for juicing are ones that feel heavy for their size and have smooth, shiny skin. Sasha and Oso take a trip to a local farmer's market to select the best oranges for their juice.
The second step is to cut the oranges in half and juice them. Oso demonstrates how to use a juicer, but also suggests that squeezing the oranges by hand can be just as effective. Sasha is able to juice the oranges by hand, but Oso reminds her to be careful to avoid getting any seeds or pulp in the juice.
The final step is to pour the juice into a glass and enjoy! Oso reminds Sasha that she can add ice to make the juice even more refreshing. While they enjoy their freshly-made orange juice, Oso and Sasha discuss the importance of choosing healthy drinks instead of sugary sodas or juices.
Throughout the episode, Oso emphasizes the importance of making healthy choices and encourages Sasha to continue making her own orange juice at home. The episode also features a "special assignment," where Oso and Sasha help a group of penguins complete healthy activities like jumping jacks and eating fruits and vegetables.
Overall, "Make Orange Juice" is a fun and engaging episode of Disney Special Agent Oso: Three Healthy Steps that teaches children about the benefits of making healthy choices and encourages them to try making their own orange juice at home.
