Fruit Up Your Hydration with Cascade Ice Organic Sparkling Flavored Waters #ad

We have worked hard to cut sodas out of our diet. We have grown very fond of the Cascade Ice Sparkling Water line of drinks. This water is a great replacement because we still our fizz fix  =) You can enjoy them straight out of the bottle, or get creative and mix in other ingredients. Below are a few low-cal recipes using fresh fruit that families are sure to love.

Berry Blast Smoothie

Pick out your favorite types of berries and apples to try the Berry Blast Smoothie. To create one, mix 1 cup of apple slices, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup soy or almond milk, a handful of fresh berries and 4oz Cascade Ice Organic Mixed Berry sparkling water in a blender. Blend until smooth and top with a few more fresh berries.

Melon Mixer

Start with 3oz of Cascade Ice Organic Blueberry sparkling water. Then pour 1oz of club soda. Stir it a bit and add several slices of watermelon and blueberries for the final touch. You’ve just added two servings of fruit to your family’s diet!

 GREEN CITRUS GODDESS

(this is for 2/3 servings and is a thicker recipe...so add more of the water to get the consistency you like.)

1 apple, 1 Lime, handful of spinach & kale, 2 oz Cascade Ice Organic Citrus Twist, 2 oz Cascade Ice Organic Grapefruit. 

  

I'm sure you and your family will find one of these drinks making their way into your day soon. Maybe you'll be adventurous and create a mix recipe all your own. 

SUMMER SNACK - Certified gluten-free, vegan, & Kosher and taste GREAT! #glutenfree #bites @thegfb

Moms are always on the GO! The Summer months there really isn't a day on the calendar  that is not  full of running kids here and there-- a light day might be a trip to the bank and the grocery store. That in it self is never easy with my kids! If they could they'd fill a whole cart up with snacks that rarely are good for them and if it is a "HEALTHIER" choice its usually loaded with sugar. I'm always telling my kids they are sweet enough they don't need any added SUGAR! 

I was beyond the moon when I was able to give Gluten Free Bites a try. These are great bite size on the go snacks that really FILL you up. I love the resealable bag to keep them fresh and don't let the size fool you...two of these are enough to keep you and your kids full until the next meal!

Created by two gluten-free brothers Marshall and Elliott, and with a little help from their chief friend Jermery.  The bites feature easy-to-understand and wholesome ingredients like toasted cashews, cherries, California almonds, Virginia peanuts, and crisped brown rice. 

Available in new kid-friendly PB&J and  dark chocolate hazelnut varieties, this snack’s chewy and moist inside and lightly toasted crunch on the outside tastes like homemade GOODNESS! Really its a HUGE HUG for your taste buds!!!
