Yummy! This sweet treat is great on a cold night. It is only sold during the holiday season at Williams-Sonoma and it isn't cheap. It makes a wonderful gift or bring it to your Christmas party as a special treat for everyone. It is made from Apple concentrate. You mix one part apple concentrate and 3 parts water then heat it up. The also sell a wonderful mulled spice mixture to go with it for extra flavoring. No junk in the ingredients but watch out it is loaded with natural sugar. A little goes a long way!

Just in time for the holidays! Egg Nog that doesn't have corn syrup or other junk in it. It is very smooth and not near as thick as regular egg nog. No more waiting for days for the liquid to come out of the glass. The taste is great and it makes for a nice holiday treat.

Save Calories by having a drink.










Title of Product: Water

Description: Spring or filtered water

Why do you like it?
Clean, refreshing, and no calories! This is the best way to quench your thirst and the easiest way to reduce calories in your diet. If you substitute 2 glasses of water for 2 glasses of regular soda you can save nearly 600 calories a day. Since most people are suppose to eat around 2000-2400 calories a day, saving 600 is a lot! Not to mention you won't be putting nutrition-less ingredients, caffeine, corn syrup, and sugar from the soda in your body.

Where did you buy it? Publix, Target, Walmart

About how much was it? $2 or free from the tap!

Sprinkle a little Omega-3 in everything!



















Title of Product: Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal

Description: Ground flaxseed

Why do you like it?
Dr. Oz recommended this little gem. This is a bag of flaxseed flakes that you sprinkle in just about anything. It is loaded with omega-3 and fiber and can be added to lots of things without affecting the flavor. It says it has a mild nutty flavor but I can't taste it at all. I have used it in baking, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, on top of applesauce and cereal, and in my PBJ sandwich.

Where did you buy it? Publix, Target

Juice Made From Fruit!



















Title of Product: Juicy Juice

Description: Grape Juice

Why do you like it?
It has apple juice, grape juice, and pear juice along with Absorbic Acid and natural flavors. No corn syrup and no added sugar. You always have to watch the amount of sugar in juices and this is no exception. It tastes very sweet and delicious and grape is a great alternative to the juices that are more acidic. It makes for a nice sweet treat for breakfast or after dinner.

Title of Product: Magic Bullet

Description: A single serving blender

Why do you like it?
I'll admit I was a skeptic about this one. It was a gift from my funny Dad who claimed it was great. Well... he was right! This is a great kitchen tool that everyone should get. I use it for milkshakes and smoothies all the time. It makes single servings and the chopping part, the glasses, and the rims are all dishwasher safe. This is wonderful for breakfast smoothies.
