Cool down with a summer beverage that's light & tasty


I'm always looking for ways to feel like I'm eating and drinking well, without spending a fortune. While 'Whole Paycheck' offer convenience and 'whole foods,' it's easy to walk out spending $100+. Yikes! If you have a family, you're looking at spending way more so what's an idea for a cool beverage that won't cost $$$?

Buy fruit juice at Traders Joes and also juice lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit and use your ice cube trays. Once frozen, toss in a plastic bag or glass jar in the freezer. I use these fresh juice ice cubes in bubbly water like Pellegrino, but they're also delicious in plain and simple tap water. This is also a lot less expensive than purchasing flavored waters.

For an adult cocktail on a hot summer eve, in addition to the juice cubes and Pellegrino, add Tequila or Vodka. Yum!

ginger ale and strawberries might be a good addition, too! :)

Another idea is to cut watermelon into cubes and freeze them as replacements for ice cubes. Delicious and beautiful in the glass!
