Is there anything better than a refreshing summer beverage? Whether I’m making a pitcher of fruity punch for the whole family to enjoy or a tasty weekend cocktail for myself, summer drinks are always a treat. And now, Kraft Canada has a way to make summer refreshment even easier with its new KraftHeinz Liquid Enhancers! With a variety of flavours to suit any tastes and zero calories per serving, making the perfect summer drink has never been easier!

Power Up Your Kids and #FeedtheFun with New Bear Paws Morning Snack Blueberry and Vanilla Yogourt-Giveaway

My boys are always on the go. I am amazed at how full of energy Zackary is at the end of a full day of school, something that used to tire me right out as a kid, and Benjamin seems to have the exact same temperament. All that running around means that I need to make sure they take a break for a healthy snack at some point. Zackary’s school requests that a morning snack be added to his lunch and Benjamin has a huge appetite in the morning that has me scrambling to fill him up.

When I got the chance to try the brand new yogourt varieties of Bear Paws Morning Snack cookies, I was thrilled. I want my boys to always enjoy healthy, well-balanced meals and snacks, so the Bear Paws Morning Snack Cereal & Blueberry Yogourt and Cereal & Vanilla Yogourt varieties, which contain 2g of fibre, 8g of whole grains and a source of calcium in every serving, seemed like the perfect choice for fuelling my little hurricanes.

And since our school has a week-long break over Easter, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect! [Read more…]

trueblue bottles Ah summer! The time of outdoor gatherings, family vacations, seasonal menus and refreshing beverages! I love a sparkling cold drink in the summertime, but I’ve never been a fan of what too much soda does to my teeth or my waistline! So when I received a package of TrueBlue and TrueBlack beverages along with some fun summer recipes that packed the power of superfruits, I was excited to give them a try.

I received four varieties of juice to test out and they looked so good that my boys and I just poured the first two bottles over ice and drank them down! TrueBlue and TrueBlack juices are available in TrueBlue Wild Blueberry, TrueBlue Wild Blueberry Lemonade, TrueBlack Blackberry and TrueBlack Black Currant varieties and are made in small batches with premium ingredients. They are also free of additives, preservatives, filler juices and artificial flavours.

Before we gave into temptation and finished every bottle, I knew I had to try one of the scrumptious-looking drink recipes so I decided to make the TrueBlue Party Punch. I loved that it was non-alcoholic so that my boys and I could both enjoy it! [Read more…]
