Celebrate National Nutrition Month with Cascade Ice!

by Cascade Ice on March 15, 2012

Did you know that March is National Nutrition Month? If you’re a fan of Cascade Ice, cheers to you! With delicious flavors like Strawberry Lemonade and Blueberry Watermelon, it’s easy to forget how good Cascade Ice is for you. Not only is it caffeine-free, but also sodium and gluten-free—making it a great alternative to traditional high-calorie, sugary juices and mixers.

In order to kick off National Nutrition Month, we have two fresh new recipes for you to try featuring Cascade Ice. Add some fruits and veggies to snack on, and you’ve hit the nutritional trifecta!

If you’re in the mood for something refreshing and fruity but not too sweet, try a Cascade Ice Grapefruit Citrus Spritzer. Pour some Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Pink Grapefruit over ice. Then slice a grapefruit and squeeze it into your glass for some extra-fresh grapefruit flavor. Lastly, squeeze in two fresh lemon wedges for a tangy touch. Yum!

 

For something a little sweeter, concoct a Cascade Ice Berry Bomb. This drink is full of delicious berry flavor and rich in antioxidants too! Start off by pouring Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Huckleberry Blackberry into a frosted glass. Add some ice, then crush in fresh blueberries and a handful of blackberries. And stir vigorously. Garnish with a few strawberry slices and enjoy!

Who knew celebrating nutrition could taste so good?

After the fanciful love of Cupid has floated away and before the flurry fun of Easter hops in, sit back and enjoy the jolly green month of March with Cascade Ice. Forget splurging on green lagers and milkshakes and celebrate with a Cascade Ice-inspired drink that is sure to keep that waistline trim!

Make sure your little leprechauns celebrate in style with Luck of the Irish Lemonade! The night before St. Patrick’s Day, fill an ice cube tray with water. Add a drop of blue food coloring to each cube and freeze overnight. The next morning, take a plastic tumbler and add in your blue ice cubes. Grab a bottle of Zero-Calorie Lemonade Cascade Ice and pour over the ice cubes. Gently stir your drink and watch it turn green! A green beverage? The little ones will LOVE it!

Once your leprechauns have gone to bed, raise a glass and cheers St. Patrick’s Day with a Shamrockin’ Martini! Fill a 16 oz mixer cup halfway with ice and add 1 1/2 oz of your favorite vodka. Drop in six small green apple wedges. Add 4 oz of Zero-Calorie Apple Tini Cascade Ice mixer and stir. Pour into a martini glass and enjoy! Want to add a little sparkle to your drink? Before pouring your drink in, dip the rim of your glass in cold water and sprinkle on green and white sugar sprinkles.

Cheers!
