Take Advantage of Fresh Produce
With produce at its peak during the summer months, now is the perfect time to indulge in nature’s finest by eating the freshest vegetables.
- Tomatoes: Slicing one cup of raw tomato for your lunch salad gives you as much as 40 percent of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C and 20 percent of your daily vitamin A.
- Avocados find their way into salads, dressings and on top of burgers regularly, so it’s a good thing that they’re full of fiber, vitamins B5, B6, C, K, folate and potassium, as well as cell-protecting antioxidants.
- Greens: Beet greens, dandelion greens, spinach, lettuce and Swiss chard are all in season throughout the spring and summer months. These greens contain protein and iron, and are full of the cell-protecting and repairing antioxidants, vitamins C and A, as well as B vitamins and fiber. Not only do they make a great salad, but you can toss them into a blender, along with some fresh fruit for a green smoothie.
- Bell peppers make a colorful addition to a snack, salad or meal, but there’s more to this crunchy fruit than meets the eye. Bell peppers contain phytochemicals called carotenoids, which give them their bright colors – and a diet high in carotenoid-dense foods has been associated with reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and age-related eye diseases.
The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns are so Last Week
How big is this secret menu?! Starbucks is back at it again with a new flavored frap that would make Ariel jealous. The new drink comes complete with sweet flavors and of course vibrant, multi-coloring. Are you daring enough to give the Mermaid Frappuccino a try?
The Mermaid Frappuccino – Because Unicorns Frappuccinos are so Last Week
It seems just like yesterday that every caffeine fanatic was making their way to Starbucks in order to get a little unicorn in their life. Now Mermaid fraps are sliding into the menu like a DM.
Nevertheless, the number one question is… what the heck is in it? Well, we didn’t have to dig too hard. A Starbucks barista spilled the deets stating,
“Step aside Unicorn Frappuccino, meet the Mermaid Frappuccino. Bay City Starbucks sold out of the unicorn frappuccino on the first day, but we made the moment right by suggesting other partner created frappuccinos!
The mermaid frappuccino is a Pokemon go frappuccino without the raspberry syrup, drizzled with a toasted coconut matcha sauce!”
Not going to lie, that description slightly made our mouths water. Especially, the drizzle! Fortunately, the same superstar barista shared the info on that too. She continued,
“To make the drizzle, mix 8 pumps white mocha, 3 cbspumps toasted coconut and 3 heaping scoops of matcha in a pitcher until smooth. Pour into gravity bottle. Make the Pokemon go frappuccino minus raspberry syrup. Drizzle the cup and top with whipped cream and matcha powder. Enjoy!”
The Mermaid Frappuccino
In the end, the result is a purple and green combo that makes us think of The Little Mermaid’s tail and seashells top. So far the verdict on taste has been very positive. Unlike the Unicorn frap that came with mixed reviews and some encouraging others not to waste their money. Therefore, if you are looking to try something new, fun and yummy then you need to order yourself a mermaid.
