Outshine.

IMG_3685Blog this !

This winter, put on your slippers, crank up the heat and cozy up to the fire with a…..

Popsicle!!

Outshine Fruit Bars asked me to give their new seasonal flavors a lick. My tongue said OK!

IMG_2911

The weather outside might be frightful, but that’s all the more reason to cozy up to some tropical fruit. The two seasonal flavors, Grapefruit and Blood Orange, taste amazingly true to their round fruity cousins. The second the weather turns cold I start craving citrus fruit, so these flavors suit Old Man Winter well. Outshine bars are made with simple ingredients – fruit, fruit juice, sugar. In fact, I ate these all the time when I was pregnant and popsicle obsessed! Of course eating real fruit is best, but when you want a light and refreshing dessert, these are a great option to keep tucked in your freezer.

Other than eating popsicles, here are 5 other activities to add to your winter checklist:

summer

checkbox Wear sunscreen. You might not feel them, but the sun’s rays beat down on your nose everyday. Your face will thank you in 20 years.

checkbox Have a cook-in and make burgers. These bean burgers of Emily’s are one of my favorite homemade recipes.

checkbox Turn on a space heater, put on your bikini and do some hot warm vinyasa yoga.

checkbox Go for a swim….at the indoor pool. I’m thinking of taking Mazen swimming soon at our gym pool!

checkbox Grill some vegetables. The grill tastes just as good in January as it does on the 4th of July. Just wear your winter coat while you cook : )

    Those are such cute ideas for summer! I love going to the pool in the winter because it really does feel almost like summer! 🙂

    We’re still trying to use the grill but it’s hard when it’s in the single digits and the wind is doing crazy things. Takes a bit longer but we’re holding onto the feeling of summer cookouts – I’m not ready to let it all go!!

    Good reminder about the sunscreen. Somehow I seem to forget that in the Winter!

    I’m loving your kitchen! Those popcicles look yummy. I live in South Florida so I can’t (unfortunately) relate to the cold but sounds like great tips!

    Lately, I feel like your posts have taken on a Real Simple (the magazine) feel. Since that is one of my favorite magazines, I kind of love it!

    Haha I definitely would not think to eat popsicles during the winter, but grapefruit actually sounds amazing! As long as my heat is turned up!

    I’m a total believer of not letting the weather force you into being “lazy” and prevent you from enjoying the season and outdoors… love these winter ideas!

    I had my wisdom teeth out Monday and actually bought a box of Outshine Peach to have afterwards. I was SO impressed with how much natural peach flavor there was to the popsicle.

    The popsicle photography is very nicely done. Makes them look super appetizing! I’m curious how a sponsored post works. Can you say more about it? Do they send you product? A stipend?

      On my blog at least, “sponsored post” means a company sponsored the post by paying me for my time and the exposure.

    Those look delish! Does anyone know if the popsicles have Vitamin C? If not, here’s a friendly reminder (which my mother gave me this morning) to eat citrus fruit…I’d rather not get the flu before the holiday festivities start!

    I got excited by your pretty pictures, and even more excited when I saw you said these popsicles are made of simple ingredients. Then I looked at the total ingredient list and was so disappointed to see they are not so simple after all. They contain natural flavors which are usually not very natural at all so we try to avoid them. They also have carob (locust) bean and guar gums. I guess I’ll stick with my homemade goodies. They are easy enough to make, even my kids can do it. We are in Florida, so it’s popsicle weather for us almost year round! 🙂

    Since we have toddlers who sometimes fall down and get hurt, we always try to have popsicles on hand. It cheers them right up and is a good way to reduce swelling and prevent fat lips.
