Frozen Lemonade Protein Shake

Image
Need a cool drink in this sweltering heat?   I don’t know about you, but I drink loads of ice water in the summertime. Since I am a type 2 diabetic, I need to watch what I eat and drink.   My assistant, Kayla, found a recipe for the Frozen Lemonade Protein Shake online and we decided to try it out. Here is the inspirational video below...  FatLossDietician Ingredients :   Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade, Vanilla Protein powder, and ice. Kayla happened to have the protein powder.  I am sure whatever vanilla protein powder you have will work. If you have lemon protein powder, that might work even better. We had to experiment since the video we watched did not have exact amounts.   We finally decided that what tasted the best was using a glassful of ice, a tablespoon of protein powder, and one can of lemonade worked the best. I have a blender that grinds ice very nicely.  So, we started with the ice, added the protein powder, and then the ca...

TAZO Passion Herbal Tea Product Review

As I was looking for ways to lower my blood pressure, I read that hibiscus tea might help, after reading about the benefits of  TAZO Passion Herbal Tea, I thought I'd give it a try. Well, I was in a hurry to grab some and this is what I found at Weis Grocery Store for $3.99,  TAZO Passion Herbal Tea. Nice packaging! Ingredients are hibiscus flower, Natural flavor, citric acid, licorice root, orange peel, cinnamon, rose hips, lemongrass, hibiscus, and elderberry extract for color. I poured hot water over the tea bag into the cup and the color immediately starts to come out.  It says to steep for 5 minutes. I took the tea bag and put in a second cup to see what would happen. There is still color but a little weaker. So, I tasted the first cup after letting it steep for 5 minutes as required. I heard no longer or it gets bitter. My thoughts are... It is very tangy/tart without sugar or honey. I decide to put the two cups together and cool. Then I added honey. I liked it cool...

Food and Drink Review of Pringles and French Soda

Image
Recently, on our last YouTube LIVE show , we taste tested Pringles potato chips and French Soda. The Sparkling French Soda comes in a variety of flavors and Kelly chose the Pear Cardamom.  From the Alsace region in France, their soda is made using a traditional artisan recipe starting with natural spring water. Sweet and tart lemon flavor with a hint of pear and aromatic cardamom characterizes this light, crisp drink that's gently carbonated and low in sugar. Price $3.99. REVIEW:   The soda isn't overly sparkly and it has a light flavor. We thought it to be a refreshing drink. Kelly particularly likes the bottle because it's reusable. Fill it with whatever your heart desires. You can find our YouTube review here . World Market Our next product is the Pringles Potato Chips. The Dill Pickle Pringles were a hit with us all. These were bought at Walmart for $1.53.  Pringles REVIEW : Right off the bat they smelled like dill pickles and tasted dilly with that sour note t...
