Cascade Ice is “Kickin’ It” with Jenna Jackson from the Jackson Five Family Blog. Jenna blogs about about her family’s daily adventures, great give-a-ways, fashion and more. Read on to learn Jenna’s healthy living advice for the whole family.
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Healthy Living is important to me because I have a family to take care of! We have two very active little boys and it’s important to be healthy and teach them healthy habits.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
I love Jillian Michaels. I have several of her DVDs, and I do them in my living room. I love how she’s helped so many people get in shape. Plus, her rockin’ body gives me inspiration!
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
We love wraps. They are quick and easy to make and you can add many different ingredients for a quick meal. Our favorite wraps include grilled chicken, lettuce and a little cheese.
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Get outside and have fun! Take walk, hike a trail or ride bikes in the park as a family. Families should have fun together while being active!
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
We don’t make anything off-limits but instead consume them in moderation.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
Drink lots of water, get enough sleep and try to be active every day.
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I love Lemonade Cascade Ice and the other lemonade flavors because they are perfect for summer!

Labor Day is around the corner and we will soon be trading our water slides and white sandals for cozy sweaters and fall activities. But you can still hold onto the last rays of summer sunshine with Cascade Ice’s lemon-themed recipes, perfect year-round.
Traditional Strawberry Lemonade
You can never go wrong with the traditional Strawberry Lemonade. Pour 8oz Strawberry Lemonade Cascade Ice into an ice filled glass. Slice 3-4 fresh strawberries and 1 small lemon and add to your glass. Stir with a straw to evenly disperse the natural flavors from the fresh fruit.
Pink Grapefruit Lemonade
For a unique and crowd pleasing lemonade, whip up the Pink Grapefruit Lemonade. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour 8oz of Pink Grapefruit Cascade Ice over the ice. Take a small fresh lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the lemon juice from one ½ lemon into your glass and make sure to strain the lemon seeds. Add a couple slices of fresh lemon to compete the drink.
Lemon Drop Twist
The Lemon Drop Twist recipe is a spin off the Cascade Ice Lemon Drop recipe. The Lemon Drop Twist uses Lemonade Cascade Ice rather than the Lemon Drop Mixer Cascade Ice. Add 8oz Lemonade Cascade Ice Water, 2oz vodka and 1oz Amaretto to a martini mixer. Shake gently, pour over ice and garnish with a lemon slice and cinnamon stick.

We are “Kickin’ It” with lifestyle blogger Courtney Solstad this week. Courtney’s My Crazy Savings blog shares tips on how to save money and find the best deal on products. Keep reading to hear what Courtney has to say about healthy living!
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
I want to make memories and I want to live to see my babies have babies. Staying healthy and fit gives me the opportunity to make these memories!
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
Fitness trainer Chris Powell is my healthy living role model. I love how he teaches and empowers people to eat right and exercise… no pills, shakes, etc!
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
My go-to easy meal is a spinach and egg omelet. I top it with Ms. Dash Chipotle seasoning… YUMMY!
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
Stop eating out! Even if you order a salad, it’s loaded with hidden fats and tons of sodium. I also believe less is more. The fewer ingredients you use, the better. Raw veggies are more healthy than cooked vegetables! And, stop using boxed items because fresh is best!
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
No, I think you can enjoy anything in moderation!
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?
Your calorie burn has to exceed your caloric intake to lose weight. So
get active. Challenge yourself to push a little harder each time you exercise. Exercise a certain muscle group every week and be consistent with your exercise. Take time for YOU, you deserve it!
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
Organic Mixed Berry Cascade Ice is my favorite! It has a light berry flavor that adds interest to drinking water. And it’s calorie-free!
