Mio Mio Me Likeo

So I found a new fun product. Mio Liquid Water Enhancer. Instead of packets you add to your water this is a liquid. All you do is squeeze however much you want into your water. And since it is a liquid you don't have to shake to get it to dissolve.

Carry it with you and at dinner when you order water (which I love) because the restaurants can't seem to understand that they are getting $0 for water because they charge $2 for tea. Squirt some in and there you have it.

If your traveling carry a bottle with you. Then when you taste the water and it sure doesn't taste like home. Well, give it a little squirt.

I saw it the other day at Walmart. Ran $3.50 for a bottle. It says it has 24 servings in it, but doesn't define what a serving is. But none the less it's worth a try. I loved it.

Overnight Oats

Overnight oats, sounds like something you would hang on your horses mouth for a midnight snack. Well close except no horse is involved. It's simple! and your healthy breakfast is prepared, and ready to grab as you run out the door. Use your favorite oat product, whole oats or steel cut. Place in container, and refrigerate over night.
Here is what I do. I like steel cut oats, healthier with have more substance to them.
1/3 cup oats
2/3 cup Silk unsweetened almond milk (or any Silk product)
Dollop of yogurt
cinammon (I love cinammon)
dash of vanilla
Place in refrigerator over night. In the morning add
1 sliced up banana
handful of chopped walnuts
sprinkle of Truvia
stir it up. Put lid on and go.
I did warm it up when I got to work
But cold is good.

This is my recipe, but there are many different combos. The skies the limit.
Basically it's double the liquid, to the oats. Just don't add anything the night before that you don't want to be soggy.
The difference between whole oats and quick oats is that quick oats are chopped up, so they cook faster. Use whole oats for this, quick oats turn into mush.
I try and do the steel oats earlier in the evening so they can soften up more since they are a more crunchy oat.

Silk Almond Milk. A great alternative to cows milk. Cholesterol free, contain as much calcium as dairy milk. Plus, Silk is a simple and all natural way to enjoy more plant based foods, which research suggests may have significant long-term health benefits. Also lower calorie and less sugar. Yes dairy milk contains sugar. Website with coupon http://silkpurealmond.com/

Purex Crystal Softeners

I tried a new product yesterday, Purex Crystal Softener. As you know here in South Texas we have wonderful water, BUT, very hard water. With this product you put it in your wash tub as your starting the water, before any clothes. As the crystals dissolve they soften the water and infuse the it with scent, in my case Lavender. You still have to add detergent but no fabric softener.

Loved it! I washed my bed sheets. They came out of the dryer with a soft scent of Lavender. And as I snuggled down in for the night I was lulled off with the sweet scent.
