What Exactly is USDA Certified Organic?

by Cascade Ice on March 17, 2016

Here at Cascade Ice we’re very proud to have the stamp of ‘USDA Certified’ on our Cascade Ice Organic flavors. But other than a fancy stamp, what does it mean for you?

To put it quite simply, USDA Certified reflects organic standards and is a labeling term that indicates that our beverages have been produced through approved methods. The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic.

Our organic operations demonstrate that we are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances in our Cascade Ice Organic flavors. There’s no additives, synthetics, GMOs or dyes. Cascade Ice Organic flavors were made for you to enjoy to the fullest and live an organic lifestyle!

Start with a tall glass with ice and pour one part rum, one part pineapple juice and then finish it off with Cascade Ice Coconut. Three steps and you’re on your way to the perfect cocktail. Don’t forget to garnish with a big slice of pineapple!

Strawberry Banana Spike

Next, we have a fruity mixture with one of our more unique flavors. Start by muddling some fresh strawberries with a dash of lime juice, sugar and a shot of your favorite vodka.

Cascade Ice vs. Sodas

by Cascade Ice on January 28, 2016

Soda is one of the most consumed beverages in the United States, second only to water and Americans guzzle nearly 60 gallons of soda per person every year! If you’re looking to cut soda, Cascade Ice is here to get you focused on your goals.

One of the biggest risks for soda drinkers is the intake of all the extra calories. Cascade Ice on the other hand is calorie free and packed with flavors anyone can enjoy.

Caffeine is one of the most addictive compounds we know of and it’s in nearly every soda produced. Sure, we all need the boost sometimes at work or at home, but you will eventually find yourself “crashing” and will reach for another soda. Wean yourself off of the caffeine with Cascade Ice which contains, ZERO caffeine.

Cascade Ice also starts each bottle with a delightful fizz and finishes with a bubbly delight much like a carbonated soda. The difference is 33 grams of sugar are added in each bottle. Cascade Ice is sweetened with sucralose; a great choice for people with diabetes. Sucralose is FDA-approved and used in thousands of beverages and foods as a popular, healthy alternative to sugar.

So what’s holding you back? Cascade Ice is your new favorite carbonated water with many flavors to choose from there’s surely one for you.
