Sangria Trio

Ok well it’s not technically a champagne trio per se, more like sangria duo and a champagne cocktail. But trio sounds better so trio it is.

If you follow along with me on Instagram you may have caught the Whole Smith’s (craft)cocktail hour at some point. The idea behind it is to clean up our adult beverages at home. No hitting up Chevy’s for their syrup-y sweet, artificially flavored watermelon margaritas. It’s so much better to make the REAL thing at home. It tastes better, you know what’s in it and it easier on the wallet. And even better, you can hang with people you like in your sweats. 😉

No, drinking fruity alcoholic concoctions isn’t something I promote doing every day. Trust me, my liver is still mad at me for my 20’s. However, it’s unrealistic to think that with following a paleo diet you’re never, ever going to have alcohol again. I mean, paleo is a food choice not a 12 step program. So like everything, make good, cleaner choices and moderation.

All of the drinks we come up with are sweetened with honey, maple syrup or pure fruit juices. Fresh herbs etc. No neon margaritas mixes allowed!

So when this week’s One Day Sale Item at Whole Foods was WINE I knew just where to go with that. I love me a good sangria or champagne cocktail. Especially with the summer coming, it just can’t be beat. And I love that you don’t need to spend a lot of money on a fancy wine to enjoy this. It’s all about the fresh ingredients and flavors.

One of the ingredients that I found really made the red wine sangria and bellini was the vanilla powder Whole Foods carries. If you don’t have access to a Whole Foods you can find some online. It’s basically ground vanilla beans that you can add in lieu of vanilla extract. I find that I like the flavor if it much better. I’ve also started adding it to smoothies and my No’tmeal. So make sure to check it out, it’s one of my favorite new finds for sure!

I’m unable to add 3 separate recipes with the current program I run so apologies for the format below but you can figure it out. Like I’ve said before, you’re all smarts!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
