NEW FINDS

Two drinks I need to share today!  RealBeanz iced coffee is new to me, while Sparkling Ice is a staple in my home.

I have a new iced coffee product to share with you, RealBeanz Iced Coffee.

I tried the iced coffees Cappuccino Refresh,  which has coconut water in it, the Moche Resist, the Vanilla Nut Relax, which is decaffeinated, and Diet Cappuccino Trim and Fit.  I enjoyed each one, Mocha being my favorite of the four.  I am sold because the drinks are delicious and not too sweet. 

After tasting, I added all four drinks together with 1/2 cup of whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a crushed coffee bean. I then froze it in my ice cream machine.  Talk about some great iced coffee.  My friends loved it too!

~~<>~~

I also tried the new flavors from Sparkling Ice.  I have written about this drink before, and love it as much now as I did then.  The new flavors - Peach Lemonade, Cherry Lemonade, Mango Lemonade, and Strawberry Watermelon are great! And ZERO calories!

So there you have it.  The perfect drinks of the summer!
