Eating healthy can be so much fun. It can also complicate things in your household if you are the only one doing it. Life can get stressful. Sometimes you just need a little something special to give you a pick me up.
In our house full of men, once in a while I crave things that are very feminine. I've always wanted to try some of the fancy cocktails full of pretty little umbrellas and sticks with exotic fruit in them. I don't know that I would actually drink a drink like that so full of serious alcohol, I just like they way they look.
When I spotted this fun little ice cube tray at Target, I knew I had to make a girly girl drink.
I found some S. Pellegrino Mineral Water at the grocery store, and this 100 Percent White Grape Cherry Juice by Welch's at Costco. Notice this bottle is almost empty. My children got to it before I could photo a full bottle. I am sure you understand my level of frustration in this matter.
I froze some of the juice in the heart shaped trays. I froze some coffee too, you just never know when your going to need a frozen heart of coffee.
I added the frozen heart cubes to a big glass, and poured the Mineral Water over them. They fizzed as they melted and made the water this beautiful pink color.
I added some frozen berries to the top. They made my low-cal beverage feel like an exotic cocktail. All I needed was a little umbrella. Note to self: buy little umbrellas. My Low-Cal Raspberry Blush was gone in minutes.
Then I had to make another one because I wasn't really sure which brand of Mineral Water was the best. The S. Pellegrino is Italian, and you know I love all things Italian, but the German Gerolsteiner is so TASTY, that I just couldn't decide. So, you need to try them both and let me know which is truly the best, okay?
