Sparkling Green Tea

It is a start to a new week! And time for a refreshing drink made with Perfect from Natural Choice Beverages and green tea… sparkling green tea.

Disclaimer: I have been compensated for this post by Natural Choice Beverages, but as always this post reflects my thoughts and opinions. Natural Choice Beverages offers a healthy line of gluten-free herbal supplement drinks.

I know that I have mentioned that one of my New Year’s resolutions was to become a healthier me, by eating better, exercising, and drinking healthier drinks. I love drinking green tea; I love to have one in the morning. Especially during the work week, I like to sip on it as I do my work.

So when I was approached by the Natural Choice Beverages to come up with a recipe using Perfect, my first thought was combining these two healthy drinks together for one awesome drink. And to make it even better I added some citrus and strawberries with a touch of honey.

To tell the truth when making a new recipe for a sponsored post I get a touch nervous. Yeah, I guess it’s just something with my personality. Things like this I like to take really seriously and do the best I can. So I put a lot of thought into these posts, well I should say I try to do that to all of my posts.

Well, I wanted to make sure that I was going in the right direction with this drink, so I made a pitcher of it and took it to my mom’s house. Yeah, I have mentioned that my mom’s house is a gathering place for my siblings, nieces, nephews and however else is around on Sunday evening. So I knew that I would have plenty of taste testers for my recipe.

The sparkling green tea was a hit. I noticed that family members were going back for seconds, which is a sure sign for me that I had a winner.

I live in a house where sweet sodas and sugary drinks were the norms, even growing up as a kid we enjoyed are sugary soda drinks. But in the last couple of years we are turning to healthy drinks such as green teas, water, and now we will be adding Perfect from the Natural Beverage Company onto this list of drinks that are a good alternative to unhealthy sugary drinks such as soda.
