Can’t
beet it
I
thought I hated beets. Must have been turnips, because the ruby-red beauty of a
packet of BeetElite tasted refreshing and nourishing. It was like a cocktail,
but you’re actually supposed to mix it up with water and take it like a shot.
And, I walked that track, tackled the grocery store and mowed the back yard in
good spirits.
Neogenis
Sport of Austin Texas is a leader in Nitric Oxide research and cardiovascular
products and Olympic, professional and collegiate athletes globally are already
using it. The single shot delivers the Nitric Oxide Power of 6 beets or two
half-liter bottles of beet juice; is consumed 30 minutes before exercise; and is designed to allow one to work
out longer and harder with improved ability to breathe and better energy, give
better energy throughout the day, improve recovery times due to improved blood
flow and lessen soreness and stiffness. Okay, I know some of you exercise nuts
will be all over this. Go to neogenissport.com for all this technical stuff.
Though I’m thinking people who read this column will be satisfied to know that
to this foodie, it tasted good and I felt great. Really great. And
accomplished.
Getting
Zest-Tea
Samples
of Zest-Tea came at exactly the right time: Summer in Southeast Texas. It’s hot
as blazes but the yard work still needs to be done and you have errands
involving a hot car. Cool down and fuel up with Zest-Tea Energy Blends. I got a
morning full of chores done while refreshing myself with Earl Grey Black,
Nilgiri Indian Black Tea & Bergamot. The floral scent is strong, emitting from
mesh bags that show your cup of herbs floating around and transforming your
water into something powerful, and it offers more caffeine per cup than any
other tea brand. The label on the sleek tin refers you to a graph noting your
Zest Black offers more caffeine than a cup of coffee. And it tells a story on
how you can thank Charles “Chaz” Gray for his tea love in the 1830s. The Apple
Cinnamon Black and Blue Lady Black offer 155 mg. caffeine a cup, equal to a
coffee or three cups of “normal” tea. Both taste full and “important,” as does
the Pomegranate Mojito Green “high-octane” tea. You will notice the difference
in flavor. GetZestTea.com will fill you in.
Fruttare
A
60-calorie black cherry real-fruit ice bar made my day. I sampled the Fruttare
bar I got from Walmart with great joy. A coconut milk bar with slightly more
calories put my family in a tropical sensation. Of course, everyone likened it
to a pina colada, without the alcohol. Sustainable products make you feel good
about buying it, too. I wouldn’t mind trying all the fruit and milk fruity
flavors.
Cow
Wow
Jimmy
Kimmel says Cow Wow tastes like heaven, according to makers of this naturally
flavored organic lowfat milk. What makes him a culinary authority? He’s as much
one as I am for a product that claims to be “The best part of the bowl” and
flavored like the bottom of a bowl of cereal. That’s right, this box and straw
combo is filled with flavors like Cinny Minny, Chocolate Chip Cathy and Fruity
Trudy. Labels feature a cow very much enjoying a bowl of cereal. Follow? It’s
all good. Really, it’s quite smooth and refreshing going down. And you don’t
get that cereal aftertaste. Lunch boxes, make room for Cow Wow Cereal Milk.
Get
Popping
Is it
easy, healthy and fun to pop your own corn? Yes!
Is
someone else’s flavorful work delivered to your door sounding good? Yeah.
Capital Corn & Confections offers all-natural popcorn in 12 crazy varieties
including Red Velvet and Cookies and Cream. Need you corn to from their place
to whoever is having a celebration? Try sending some Cinnamon Bun, which is
gooey and sweet and crispy and I’ve spoiled my dinner. Never mind. That was
dinner. Vinegar and Salt also packs a punch. Pick your flavor (good luck with
that) and pick your size at
