Hey Cascade Ice fans! We know that making healthy lifestyle choices can be a challenge, but trust us, you can do it! Sometimes we just need a little inspiration from the pros. Today we are Kickin’ It with Charlotte Hill, Lifestyle blogger at The Boomer Brief.
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Both my husband Bob and I are cancer survivors. Eating right, exercising and maintaining our weight are important to preventing reoccurrence.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
Kathy Smith and my dear friend Shelley Tyler inspire me. At 60+, Kathy Smith looks amazing, never tires of exercising and her workout videos rock. Likewise, everyone has trouble believing Shelley’s a grandmother (of course, she is only 54). Shelley exercises almost every day and when she’s not working out, she’s planning delicious, nutritious meals to help her family stay fit.
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
I love a simple salad made by tossing strawberries and blueberries with a banana. There’s no cooking involved.
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
I try to avoid anything that’s sure to go straight to my waistline like doughnuts. I haven’t had one in about 30 years.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
If you’re like me and sit at a desk all day, it’s important to make yourself take five-minute fitness breaks. Walk down the hall or go outside. Bend over and touch your toes; then reach for the sky and give your waist a twist. Besides burning calories, breaking for fitness can be a real spirit lifter.

Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to pull out those lawn chairs and picnic baskets! Spending time outside with friends and family is one of the many things that make for a great summer, and we’re here to make those outdoor occasions even better! Today we are sharing refreshing and fruity drink recipes everyone can enjoy.
Give your glass a little pizazz with this flavorful Melon Mixer. Start by filling a glass halfway with ice cubes. Add a small handful of blueberries and a few squares of cut-up watermelon, then top it off with delicious Cascade Ice Blueberry Watermelon. As the fruit enhances the delicious taste of zero-calorie Cascade Ice, this drink becomes more flavorful by the minute!
For the adults looking for something with a little more tang, you’ll love this Citrus Packed Punch. In a tall glass, pour 1oz citrus vodka over ice. Add in slices of your favorite tangy fruits like grapefruit, lemon, orange and lime. Fill the rest of the glass with Cascade Ice Pink Grapefruit, stir and sip!

Welcome to the first day of May, Cascade Ice fans! We all know that healthy living is important, but we know it isn’t always easy to make healthy lifestyle choices. Lucky for us, we are Kickin’ It with Lori Pace today, lifestyle and fitness blogger at A Day in Motherhood! She’s got some great tips to get us on track.
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Raising my daughters, I want to set a great example for all around health. Drinking water is KEY to any healthy lifestyle. So anything that encourages us to drink it, like fun flavors, is helpful too!
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
I have a neighbor that conquered breast cancer last year. She has changed her diet, her exercise routine and her view on food to live a healthier lifestyle. Her courage encourages me.
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
A protein bar. I can grab and go!
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Health starts at the grocery store. If it is not in your house, you will not eat it! So when shopping, make great decisions. They will translate at home.
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
Not really. I believe in everything in moderation.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
Park far from the door. Walk up the stairs. Make a decision every morning to do something good for you! It goes a long way!
