Realistic New Years Resolutions

by Cascade Ice on December 21, 2017

It’s hard to believe 2018 is just around the corner! The start of a new year brings with it an opportunity to make some positive lifestyle changes. However, determining your new year resolutions can be a daunting task, bringing a lot of stress and added pressure. We’ve put together a few tips to help you set realistic resolutions this new year.

Exercise

Finding fun ways to get moving can help you get excited about exercise in the new year. Try new things and stick with something you enjoy like walking outside, hitting the gym or taking a spin class. Get your loved ones involved to spend some time together and keep each other accountable.

 Drink More Water

Cutting down on soda is a great way to reduce sugar and caffeine from your diet. Swapping a single soda for a glass of water can save 240 calories alone! It can be hard to get excited about water, but Cascade Ice has over 20 refreshing flavors to choose from so you’ll never feel like your missing out.

 Reward Yourself

Be sure to celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Positive reinforcement is a great way to motivate yourself to stay on track. We recommend mixing up an Orange Mango Sparkler for a toast to your achievements. Simply fill any glass halfway with Cascade Ice Orange Mango and add your favorite champagne once the fizz settles. Cheers to 2018!

Cleanse with Cascade Ice

by Cascade Ice on December 14, 2017

Still feeling sluggish from all the sweet treats you’ve been indulging in this holiday season? Cascade Ice is here to help with a few recipes to cleanse your palette and keep you fueled and energized throughout the holidays!

These recipes all feature our organic line of flavors made with premium water, carbonation and USDA certified organic fruit essences. The organic line does not contain any artificial sweeteners or food dyes. The line is also zero calorie and contains no sodium, caffeine sugar, carbs or gluten.

Lemon Lime Twist

To begin, slice two lemons, an orange and a lime and add to the bottom of your favorite pitcher or beverage dispenser. Next, fill halfway with Cascade Ice Organic Citrus Twist. Leave the filled container at room temperature for 3-4 hours. This will allow for the fruit to fully infuse into the water for an enhanced flavor. Finally, fill the container with ice and you’re ready to serve.

Cool as a Cucumber

Cucumbers are a great source of rehydration and also contain anti-inflammatory properties. Simply slice a cucumber and add a few slices to the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass with ice and Cascade Ice Organic Lemon Zest and you’re ready to sit back and enjoy the refreshing, fruity benefits.

Sparking Fruit Blend

Get creative with this recipe by choosing your favorite fresh fruits to make your own unique mixture. We recommend raspberries, cucumbers, blackberries, oranges and blueberries. Add your desired amount of each fruit to a glass or pitcher and simply pour in Cascade Ice Organic Mixed Berry. Just stir and enjoy!

Thanksgiving Food & Drink Pairing

by Cascade Ice on November 16, 2017

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means a calorie overload is headed your way. While we can’t reduce the calorie count in yams or cranberry sauce, we can give you some ideas on low-calorie, festive drinks to serve!

We’ve whipped up a few drink recipes that pair perfectly with your favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Cascade Ice is calorie-free, gluten-free, sodium-free and caffeine-free, so you can grab that extra piece of pie without any guilt.

For an unexpected twist on traditional appetizers try serving them alongside a Ruby Cocktail. First, fill a champagne glass halfway with your favorite chilled prosecco. Mix in 3 oz. of Cascade Ice Pink Grapefruit and 2 oz. of your favorite vodka. Just stir and you’re ready to enjoy this fun, bubbly drink.

For the main course simply grab a Cascade Ice Cranberry Pomegranate and pour over ice. The Cranberry Pomegranate flavor will pair perfectly with any of your Thanksgiving favorites. Feel free to add in club soda for extra bubbles and garnish with some pomegranate seeds.

We hope you saved room for dessert! Our light Pomegranate Party Punch pairs wonderfully with your favorite pecan pie. Simply fill a pitcher with ice and Cascade Ice Pomegranate Berry and mix in mint leaves, lime juice and pomegranate seeds.
