Better than Coffee

I do like to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee every once and a while. What I do not like about coffee though is the jittery feeling that I get after drinking. This is the reason that I am not your typical a.m. coffee drinker. I have found something else that I have started becoming an a.m. drinker of, Teavana!

I stumbled upon this gourmet tea store 2 weekends ago at the mall. They were sampling teas and I liked what I tasted and saw. I have always enjoyed my occasional herbal tea, my favorite flavor was the orange spice. This little nook of tea heaven I could get lost in. I loved reading all the nutrition facts, and the different mixes that they have. They can custom make the mix you want. I got two different mixes combined together to form my morning tea. I did the samurai chai mate, and white Ayurvedic chai tea. Mate teas work as an appetite suppressant and they contain the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee without giving you the side effects. White teas are full of antioxidants and help build up your immune system. There are so many great benefits of drinking herbal tea, that I do not have the time to write about all of them. What does coffee do for you......hmmm jitters, stomach problems, and addiction. It's a no brainer, I love the flavor of the tea so its a win win for me!!!!

The Real Deal

I got a bag of the German rock sugar to sweeten it. Since its a loose tea you need a strainer like the one in front. It's a basic one, they have all different types. I just place it into my cup of hot water to steep. The container in the back keeps the tea fresh and once it's empty you can take it back to the store and reuse it, pretty cool.

I love my new tea, below is their website if you want to check it out some more!

Feburary Snack Spotlight!

Hello Hello Hello!!! I noticed my last post was during our snowed in days. Well it has all defrosted and I have been busy back at work. Maybe not busy at work, but busy being back at work! Anyways I wanted to feature 2 new snacks that I have stumbled upon. My dear coworker Charity who I share an office with brought these in the other day. Since then I have been HOOKED!!!! Check them out below!

You can get these at Kroger. They have an awesome organic section that

I truly could get lost in.

Bear Naked Trail mix. I like the Pecan apple flax one. The whole grain flax

granola clusters are so yummy. It has a sweet, salty, crunchy, wholesome flavor.

Yes I am going to say Wholesome is a flavor! lol

Terra exotic vegetable chips. I like the Mediterranean flavored one. Garlic, Oregano,

and Olive Oil with a hint of lemon are what flavors the chips. Other than

being extremely delicious the best thing about it is that it is dehydrated

root veggies so it feels you up more than potato chips. Mmmmmmm

I'm sure you can find these other places than kroger but if you don't

have time to figure out where else, RUN to your nearest

Kroger! AHHHHHHH HURRY!!!!;)
