Have you ever had one of those days where the afternoon hours hit, and all of a sudden you feel like you’re in an energy slump? If you’re having trouble getting over the midday lull, try making some changes to the most important meal of the day – breakfast!
Breakfast is a crucial part of each day, and sets the tone for healthy eating and creating a sustainable routine. A filling, healthy breakfast that is low-sugar will give you a boost to jumpstart your day (and may even put you in a great mood!). You may also notice that when you eat a healthy breakfast, your concentration and focus will skyrocket!
Some ideas for a filling, healthy breakfast include oatmeal with peanut butter, egg whites and fruit, or a homemade smoothie. Did you know you can even make a healthy, low-sugar smoothie with Cascade Ice Water? Check out our recipe below!

Nothing says “Let’s welcome summertime” better than a refreshing sangria! This recipe will have your taste buds dancing, but won’t sabotage your healthy living goals.
Our Skinny Summertime Sangria recipe is made with fruit and wine (like most sangrias), but offers less sugar and fewer calories! While a regular or pre-made sangria can contain almost 300 calories for an 8 ounce glass, this recipe can shave off as much as half the calories, so you can sip with confidence!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup frozen fruit (reach for ones high in antioxidants like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries)
4 ounces red wine
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce orange juice
6 ounces Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Wild Berry
Fresh strawberry slice for garnish (if desired)
Ice
Place frozen berries at the bottom of your desired glass, and add orange and lemon juices. Muddle the berries, and add wine. Fill up the glass with ice, and top with Cascade Ice. Garnish, sip, and take in the sights and sounds of summertime!
