We all lead very busy lives and let’s face it, we’re pretty time starved. Between taking care of the kids, working full-time and doing a million other mom things a day – I find it hard to find time just for myself.
With the help of SunRype Slim, I’m challenging myself to make some ‘me time’ a priority. Whether it’s 10 seconds or 10 minutes, taking this time for myself is something I’m happy to try. Taking 10 is an important reminder to moms everywhere that time to recharge or relax is needed and well deserved, after everything moms do. Just 10 minutes can make a positive difference and can help you deal with the daily stresses of life. Add a glass of delicious SunRype Slim with only 10 calories and you’ve got a perfect moment.
While some may thrive on quiet time, I like good food and great conversations.
I like taking 10 with a friend or a family member, I’ve even introduced them to my new ritual! And with Spring weather upon us, my ‘me time’ will include outdoor BBQs with close friends.
I’m gearing up for BBQ season and that means it’s time to start pinning all the fantastic warm weather recipes I can find. This also means, I’ll be serving up some delicious warm weather recipes 🙂
TIP: Aside from being a refreshing beverage, SunRype Slim undoubtedly makes for a great mixer with alcoholic beverages. With so many flavours to choose from – BlueberryBurst, Cranberry Twist, Iced Tea, Tropical Mango and Lemonade, my guests will have plenty of delicious options to choose from. With only 10 calories per serving (250ml), no aspartame or artificial flavours or colours, me and my guests can indulge!
Take 10 for yourself go ahead and try these recipes using SunRype Slim at your next get together. Look for them in the non-refrigerated juice aisle at your local grocery store.
I’ve created 3 sangria recipes using SunRype Slim beverages and they will surely impress at your next gathering (or for you to enjoy on your own!). They’re naturally pretty but also very easy to make, meaning these will likely be your go-to all summer long. Using SunRype Slim as a base beverage that is only 10 calories per serving (250ml), you can take 10 for yourself and enjoy your company instead of worrying about how many glasses of delicious sangria you’re drinking!
The great thing about sangria is that the ingredients are fresh and the wine that you use in your recipe does not need to be expensive. Pair the wine with a light and tasty fruit-based beverage like SunRype Slim, and all that’s where the burst of flavour comes from Not to mention the little booze-filled pieces of fruit that you get to nibble on at the end of your drink!
