Immunity Boosts, No Sugar and Plant-Based Energy

January 4, 2022

Happy New Year! I’m kicking off January with some healthy convenient foods and drinks. Make sure you share them with family and friends in 2022. Bon appétit!

Trade Street Jam Co. Smoked Peach Jam

Trade Street Jam Co., Smoked Yellow Peach

Holy smokes! Thanks to Gimme the Sweets bakery (Virginia Beach, Virginia), I picked up a jar of this scrumptious jam. It packs an applewood flavor reminiscent of a backyard barbecue. It also complements the ripe peaches and adds a bold flavor to scones and turkey burgers. That’s my new jam!

Retail price: $14.99
Size: 9 ounces
Available: https://tradestjamco.com

 

Welch's Fruit n Yogurt

Welch’s Fruit ‘n Yogurt Snacks, Blueberry-Acai

I’m in love with my new travel snacks. I like their chewy fruit centers covered with creamy yogurt. Grab-and-go. Also available in strawberry and mango-peach. Equally tasty. Yummy and addicting.

Retail price: $3.39
Size: 0.7-ounce bags (8-count box)
Available: Amazon, Big Lots, Instacart & in-stores nationwide

 

Reed’s Real Ginger Ale

I’m a fan of this refreshing ginger ale. I drink this brand almost every week. It uses pressed organic ginger juice that settles my stomach and quenches my thirst. I favor zero sugar. Same enjoyable lip-smacking beverage. Purchase this bubbly goodness today and thank me later.

Retail price: $45.99
Size: 12-ounce cans (24)
Available: Amazon and grocery stores nationwide

 

OCA Energy Drink

OCA Plant-Based Energy Drink

These delightful energy drinks come in three varieties: Mango, Guava Passion Fruit, and Berry Acai. Made with tapioca from the Amazon rainforest, they contain natural caffeine equivalent to one cup of coffee. They offer a clean crisp taste without giving me the jitters. Lightly sweetened with a delicate fruitiness.

Retail price: $16.99 (6-pack mixed flavors) | $32.99 (12-pack single flavor)
Size: 12 ounces
Available: https://www.drinkoca.com and Kroger

 

SGSY Immunity Ginger

So Good So You, Immunity Probiotic Shot

This invigorating, organic cold-pressed juice gives me digestive relief at night and after eating a heavy meal. It starts sweet and finishes with pleasant warming notes. Soothing. This is one of my go-to products to help strengthen my immune system.

Retail price: $3.99
Size: 1.7 ounces
Available: Target.com, Publix, Whole Foods Market, and other stores nationwide

 

Snowfox Stainless Steel Martini Glass

Look chic while you hold and sip your favorite cocktails in these sleek stainless-steel glasses. They keep drinks cold and your hands comfortable. They make the perfect gift for wine lovers. Dishwasher safe.

Retail price: $36 (set of 2)
Size: 3.5″ x 4.25″, 8 ounces
Available: https://snowfox.fun
