Fruits in Liquid Form


There is nothing quite like a glass of deep, dark, delicious juice, especially when you know that along with the refreshing taste, you are ingesting vitamins and antioxidants. Northland has come out with a few new flavors in their Superfruits 100% Juice Dark Fruits line. We like them all, but our favorite is their Blueberry Blackberry Acai blend. At first the thought of a blend like this seemed like it might be too sweet. But the taste is just sweet enough to help you start the day. Delicious.

And for a more portable potable box of juice nutrition that is not only refreshing but packed with the vitamins and minerals of fruits and vegetables, you might jive Apple and Eve's Fruitables a try. They really are a healthy and great tasting alternative to the usual juice box.

Cool Weather, Cooler Desserts

Even though the weather may be cooling off in most areas of the country, and late evening is coming earlier [whose idea was it anyway to delay the time change to November?] you still may crave a frozen, flavorful, but not- too- sweet dessert. And why not? A refreshing ice-cold bowl of frozen yogurt can be delightfully soothing and satisfying.



Now, nothing is going to make frozen yogurt taste like fat-drenched ice cream, but Turkey Hill’s new Cold-Churned Frozen Yogurts come close enough.



Here are some noteworthy flavors:



Peach Mango Fruit Smoothie, 90 calories per serving,

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 120 calories per serving,

Mint Cookies and Cream, 110 calories per serving

Neapolitan, 90 calories per serving

And for a splendid combination, there’s Blueberry and Cream with Acai.



Additional benefits include calcium and Vitamin D and Live Active Yogurt Cultures. But you can just concentrate on the good taste and the fact that you are eating something that is actually good for you.
