Sauvignon Blanc Sorbet Recipe. We all know that feeling.

Sauvignon Blanc Sorbet Recipe

You’ve just arrived to a party, it’s a hot summer’s day, and you’re parched. Then you see it – sangria. Sweet, sumptuous, and with just enough fruit to make you feel healthy, sangria is the ultimate party drink. We’ve put a twist on this summer classic by adding strawberries and lemons for just a hint of tartness! Add some extra apples, oranges, or whatever other fruit your heart desires. Ingredients: - 2 lemons, thinly sliced - 1 apple, cored and sliced - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced - 1 bottle of white wine (a dry white like Cavit Oak Zero Chardonnay is best) - ½ cup of light rum - 4 cups of lemon-lime soda Directions: 1) Add lemon slices, apples, and strawberries to a large pitcher. 2) Pour the entire bottle of wine and amount of rum over the fruit. 3) Refrigerate for 4 or 5 hours, or until ready to serve. 4) Remove from refrigerator, add lemon-lime soda. 5) Add a few pieces of leftover fruit for some extra flavor and garnish.

So why don't you come on over and let me pour you a glass of this thirst quencher. We'll sit in the backyard and talk about how it's all-natural, free of artificial colors, and easily zero-calorie—and of course, lot's of other stuff. This refresher may look like Kool-Aid but is far from it. The base is herbal tea. Raw apple cider vinegar is added for tang and it's health-promoting properites and a little stevia (or natural sweetener of your choice) balances it all out.

If you're trying to give up sugary juices and drinks, give this one a go and let me know what you think.

Naturally Flavored Water

I'm keeping 2-3 flavors of this "spa water" in my fridge now, so I have a variety to motivate me to drink more water. I was a hardcore Dr. Pepper girl for years. Then I gave up regular soda because of the high sugar content and switched to diet soda. Next we were warned to avoid the chemicals in diet soda; and more recently studies have indicated that diet soda actually causes rather than prevents weight gain (source). Simply water At the end of the day, regular old tap water--or at least a filtered version of it--seems to be the way to go.
