It’s Izze

by Heidi on September 7, 2011

Recently I was sent a variety pack of Izze beverages – I like free schtuff as much as the next and since I had seen Izze around the store I was intrigued to try it.

Given that I only recently gave up soda for good (thank goodness!) trying this made me definitely confident that I could give up my sweetened beverages. Because really the only thing i like about soda – and I’m not talking Diet Coke or Pepsi, I’m talking like decaffeinated Sprite, Ginger Ale or Orange soda.

I lurrrved it. I brought it for lunch a few days and it was deeeeliiiisshhh I liked the sparkling blackberry and sparkling clementine the best. Sweet but not too sweet. Fizzy but not the same fizz you get from all the sugar and carbonation in soda. This stuff is low in sugar (win), low in calories (double win) and made from all natural flavors (triple win!).

Not to mention, the Izze website, has a ton of recipes of how to mix this stuff up to make it even better. I haven’t tried any of the recipes myself yet, but they all look pretty tasty.

Ya’ll are in luck too! I have a coupon for a free four pack to give away to one lucky duck reader!

Leave me a comment with which flavor you’d like to try from the Izze website for one entry.

Review: Lipton Iced Tea

by Heidi on June 5, 2011

Hubs is a big iced tea fan. Me? Not usually so much. I think because I grew up with parents drinking diet pepsi and the likes, I find it hard to drink just juice, tea or water without my tastebuds being bored.

So when I was approached to do a review of a new line Lipton has, I said sure. Why not? Right?

I was sent a few different flavors – iced tea  with lemon, green tea with citrus, iced tea with pomegranate/blueberry, green tea with passion fruit mango, diet green tea with watermelon and diet green tea with citrus.

All the flavors were really tasty. Seriously. Very light flavors, and incredibly refreshing. Above, hubs and I had the blueberry pomegranate and to add a lil “umph” I threw in a few blueberrries to mine. Nom-a-licious.

My second favorite was the diet watermelon to which I added strawberries to it. So. Good.

All juices have, according to Lipton between 50-70 calories per servings. Diet drinks have 0 calories and 0 sugar. I’ll be adding the diet drinks to my picks because I really like to not just drink water and I’ve cut caffeine out of my diet.

I highly recommend these light drinks. Not to mention, over at Lipton.com, you can find all sorts of recipes to incorporate these drinks into!

What are your favorite summer drinks?
