Happy Thursday! How are you keeping active and healthy throughout the week? To get some inspiration, we are kickin’ it with Barbara Akowuah, blogger from Examiner.com. Barbara is a health and style peruser and a lover of all things vintage. Check out her healthy living tips below!
Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?
Healthy living is vital to living your best life. It’s important to maintain good health in general because it affects all areas of your life, from the way you think to the way you feel. Healthy living subscribes to the idea of nurturing your body so that you can be at your best performance at all times.
Who are your “Healthy Living” role models and why?
My healthy living role models would be Author and Hypnotherapist Attila J. Polonyi, and Mike Adams founder of Natural News. They both inspire me through the work that they do. They each help and encourage others to live healthier and happier lifestyles!
What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?
When I am on the run and short on time, my go-to healthy snack would be banana or kiwi, avocado and coconut water.
Do you have any tips for families who want to make some healthy lifestyle changes?
My advice to families is to pay attention to what you eat and the way food is being prepared. If there are any changes you can make to your diet, even if it means gradually eliminating unhealthy foods, then that would be a great start. Instead of soda, drink water. If that’s too much to pass up on then have an alternative that tastes just as great but is much better for you – like Cascade Ice!
Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?
I am really not a fan of raw foods so I would have to say anything that is uncooked – especially raw meats – would be off limits.
In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness (i.e. sleep, relaxation techniques, fitness routines)?
Exercise is essential. I noticed that when I am not exercising for lengths at a time, I have a tendency to become more sluggish and irritable. Exercise helps me to break away from negative habits and helps lifts my spirits and boost my overall confidence.
What is your favorite Cascade Ice flavor and why?
I have two favorites – Lemonade and Pomegranate Berry! I like to drink Cascade Ice Lemonade along with my meals as a thirst-quencher. And Cascade Ice’s Pomegranate Berry is what I like to sip throughout the day. It’s one of those drinks you’ll see next to a pile of papers at work – it’s refreshing and keeps me alert!

With Super Bowl XLVI right around the corner, it’s time to start planning a get-together to celebrate the big game! Whether you’re cheering for the New York Giants or the New England Patriots (or just tuning in to watch the commercials), there’s no reason to super-size your calorie intake. Try mixing up a round of Touchdown Margaritas for your crew to enjoy while watching the game!
Grab your favorite brand of tequila, a few limes and Cascade Ice’s 10-Calorie Margarita Skinny Cocktail Mixers to get the party started. In a 16-ounce mixer cup, squeeze in the juice of two lime wedges. Keep the wedges in the cup and add 1 1/2 ounces of tequila.
Add 8 ounces of Cascade Ice 10-Calorie Margarita Skinny Cocktail Mixer. Stir it up and pour contents into your favorite margarita glass with a salted rim to enjoy a tasty, low-calorie beverage!

Last week Cascade Ice traveled to Champaign, Illinois to show off our line of Skinny Cocktail Mixers! Cocktails are a great way to beat the heat, but can be filled with empty calories. A single margarita can have more than 500 calories! A Cascade Ice Skinny Margarita has only 10 calories, and if you add tequila, it still only comes out to around 65 calories.
These Skinny Cocktails are a great way to cool off, relax and keep your body bathing suit ready. To watch the full clip click here.
