thirst quenching Thursday

It's going to be getting hotter soon. Boo. But hot weather makes me excited for fun and refreshing drinks! Yay! It may be pregnancy for me now, but lots of my cravings involve drinks already. Freshly squeezed lemonade from Chick-Fil-A and Coca Cola slushies from wherever I can find them have been some of my big cravings lately. My sister is a big fan of an ice cold beer in the summer (preferably with a Pronto Pup, oh yeah), but while I will enjoy a beer, here and there, a.) I'm preggo and that won't work this summer, and b.) I prefer Coke hands down! It's not a craving, it's a NEED, and not for the caffeine, but for the pure delicious taste!!!

But I wasn't posting to write about Coke. I've found this new amazing drink--with bubbles and no alcohol and healthier than my fave soda. And, I had to share! It's called Izze!! Now, I may have been hiding under a rock, but I had never heard of Izze until Valentine's Day, when my hubby brought me an Izze to have a "fun" drink on a special occasion. Turns out, he was right! It was fun! And DELISH! And, the very next night, I was late picking up my sweet children from choir, on a rainy night, when I had to run into a store to find my new gotta have--need right now--refreshing drink that makes me so happy!!! That first week of having Izze, I thought I could only find it at Whole Foods or Fresh Market, but turns out Izze is in your local, friendly grocery store (in our organic section) and Target and even my fave cupcake joint! It's made of pure fruit juice concentrate and sparkling water! It's such a treat and completely thirst quenching---which is perfect for summer weather, or winter or spring and I'm sure fall, though I didn't know about Izze back then! So far, I've had the Grapefruit, Blackberry, Pomegranate and Sparkling Lime. I really love them all, though the Grapefruit is my fave and Lime is giving Grapefruit a run for its money!

Cheers!!
