Daily Grind

DRINK RECOMMENDATION > TRUE LEMON

For awhile there, it was really a challenge for me to drink all the water I was suppose to daily.  I would try and alternate drinking plain and flavored water to mix it up (I was also still drinking diet soda at the time).  To flavor my water I would use Crystal Light and other brands, but didn't like the fact they were artificially sweetened.  I really wanted someone to develop water flavoring that was all natural.

So I was at Smith's Food & Drug one day looking at my choices & came across 'True Lemon' water flavor (the brand is really called 'True Citrus').  Instantly, I bought the original lemonade and the raspberry lemonade after reading it was sweetened with stevia.  Then I took a raspberry lemonade packet, mixed it with 1liter of water, and it was SUPERB!!  (Personally, I mix water flavor packets with a minimum of 24 fl. oz. of water otherwise it's too sweet for me.)  So far I have only found it at Smith's, but am hoping in the near future it will be offered in other places.  I highly recommend you try it, and after some investigation they have orange (naturally sweetened), grapefruit (unsweetened); and you can order it online as well.  Go get your drink on!

FOOD RECOMMENDATION - EMERALD COCOA ROAST ALMONDS

On Christmas day, Thor & I were unpacking our Christmas stockings & I pulled this wonderful item:

I had received a box of 7, 100-calorie packs of these delicious almonds!  They are perfect for on the go, or recently I brought them to the movies with me.  I love finding great tasting food choices, that keep me on track & don't kill my good intentions.  YUM!!
