Celebrate National Hot Tea Month

1/13/2019

Picture
Bitter cold January days call for cup after cup of hot tea to warm you up from the inside out. A hot, steamy cup of tea is perfect for any time of the day. Happy National Hot Tea Month, do yourself a favor and enjoy tea as much as you want this month! 
 
Have you ever wondered where tea came from, and what made someone put leaves in hot water for flavor? Well, legend says in 2737 BC, a Chinese emperor was sitting under a tree while his servant boiled drinking water when some leaves blew into it. The emperor happened to be a renowned herbalist, and he decided to taste the infusion that had just been created by accident… He loved it, and that’s where tea comes from!


Here are some of the best benefits tea has to offer:

  • Tea is packed with antioxidants. These help keep our bodies “young” and protect them from toxins.
  • It has less caffeine than coffee. (The kinds that do contain caffeine) usually contain about 50% less than coffee which means you can drink it without affecting your nervous system.
  • Research shows a correlation between tea and heart health. A recent study says people who drink tea have a 20% less chance of having a stroke or heart attack than those who don’t.
  • It can help with weight loss, especially when paired with a well-balanced diet and exercise. Tea is usually calorie-free, and it can give you energy and cause your body to burn more calories throughout the day.
  • It’s an immune system booster. Studies show that tea helps immune cells reach their targets more quickly.

Becoming a consistent lunch bringer is no easy task. You might start the day with good intentions, but then a meeting runs late, a coworker grabs you for lunch, or you just didn’t have anything to pack in the first place. Get inspired to start a lunch bringing habit with these 10 easy recipes from Ziploc. No PB&J sandwiches here. Just unique, delicious (and grown-up-approved) ideas.  
Picture
Cafe Box

Skip the line at your local coffee shop and pack your own bento box. Fill a Ziploc® Square container with a mini bagel spread with nut butter, a hard-boiled egg, apple slices, and grapes. Then, toss in white cheddar and gouda sealed in a Ziploc® Snack Bag. The ingredients can be prepped two to three days in advance, making it easy to grab your lunch and go! ​

Picture
Mediterranean
Hummus and tapenade, sliced chicken breast, feta, pita, cucumber and red pepper slices, and grapes come together for the perfect light lunch. Cut the pita bread into triangles for an easy finger food style lunch or leave the bread whole for a yummy stuffed sandwich. It's up to you! 
​

Picture
Guava Past, Ham, Brie Wrap
A sweet, savory, and irresistible flavor combo. Just roll apricot preserves, guava paste, ham, sliced red plum, and brie inside of a tomato basil tortilla. Tip: skip the ham for a vegetarian option. Full recipe.
​

Picture
Antipasto Box
Mix up a simple caprese salad, add some prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupe, a few small slices of French bread, and some pistachios
​and you’ve got a DIY antipasto box.

​
The easiest chicken salad you'll ever make. Just mix mayo, crushed walnuts, grapes, and rotisserie chicken, right in a Ziploc bag..  Full Recipe.



Picture
Asian Lunch Box
Mix up a restaurant-worthy salad at home. Grab an Asian veggie salad mix from the grocery store and top it with mandarin orange slices, roasted nuts, and crispy noodles. Tip: pair it with leftover potstickers for an easy “Take-Out for Lunch” kind of day. Don’t forget to separate the dressing from your salad to keep the lettuce crispy. 
​

Picture
Vegetable Lovers Wrap
Just mix guacamole with chopped bell peppers, shredded carrots, sliced grape tomatoes, black beans, and baby spinach to make an easy veggie wrap. Bring some crackers and fresh fruit in Ziploc® Snack Bags for a complete, healthy lunch!

Picture
Pinwheel Wrap
Mix cream cheese, chopped black olives, green onion and crispy bacon together and spread onto a whole grain tortilla. Then roll and slice into bite-sized portions for an indulgent, satisfying lunch. 
​

Picture
Tex Me Cobb Salad
Pack up romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, hard-boiled egg, black beans, corn, creamy cilantro-lime dressing, and tortilla chips in separate Ziploc® containers and bags and assemble the perfect, crisp salad at lunchtime. Tip: use rotisserie chicken for an even easier meal.

Turn Your Coffee from Healthy to Super Healthy

7/5/2018

Originally posted in HealthyFollow.com

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world.  Many health professionals believe it's also one of the healthiest.  For some people, it's the single largest source of antioxidants in the diet, outranking both fruits and vegetables combined. (This blows our mind! Who knew!)

Here are a few tips to turn your coffee from healthy to super healthy:

1.  Drinking coffee late in the day could be impairing your sleep quality. Avoiding coffee after 2-3 p.m. is probably a good idea.

2.  Avoid adding sugar to your coffee.  If you regularly turn your coffee into a sugary treat, you might be eliminating its overall health benefits.

3.  If you are worried about pesticide contamination in your coffee, choose a quality , organic brand.

4.  Drinking too much coffee may cause adverse side effects.  However, this depends on the amount of caffeine consumed and individual tolerance.

5.  Spice up your coffee with a dash of cinnamon.  Not only does it taste good, it might also improve your health.

6.  Non-dairy creamers are highly processed and may contain questionable ingredients.  If you like diluting your coffee with a creamer, consider using whole milk or cream.

Flavors To Suit You To A Tea!

Picture
Happy National Hot Tea Month! Although a soothing, aromatic cup of hot tea is a welcome sight at any time of the year, it is not hard to imagine why January was chosen as the official month for celebrating tea. After all, there is nothing better than warming up with a hot cup of your favorite blend on a chilly winter day.

Put a TWIST to your everyday tea with these common add-on ingredients.

VANILLA
Try vanilla in orange teas, Earl Grays or oolongs.  It only takes a drop or two of vanilla extract to add big flavor to a cup of tea.  Or infuse vanilla into loose leaf tea before brewing.  For a cup of tea leaves, add 1 vanilla bean (cut lengthwise to let the flavor escape) and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.  Put it in an airtight container, shake to mix and let it infuse for at least a week.

FRUIT JAM
Swirl a spoonful of fruit jam in English Breakfast tea instead of (or in addition to) sugar or honey.  It's a popular in tradition in Russia and Korea, and it brings out tea's natural flavors.

CINNAMON
In a teacup, breakup a cinnamon stick or add half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder.  Add boiling water and let it steep 10 minutes.  Add a favorite teabag and let it steep a few minutes longer. Cinnamon, an antimicrobial, can help reduce inflammation and regulate blood sugar.  In addition, it's spicy scent can boost brain functions.

COCONUT MILK
Lactose-free coconut milk is a creamy substitute to cow's milk that can be a tasty option for lactose intolerant individuals.  It's especially good with chai and green teas.

LEMON PEEL
While lemon juice is a classic tea trimming, lemon peel adds a vitamin and mineral boost that's more than 5 times what's found in lemon juice.  Just grate it and sprinkle into your tea!

Ice cream tips, tricks and facts that will change your life. Or at least the way you eat ice cream!

Celebrate National Ice Cream Month!


  • ​Place a mini marshmallow at the bottom of an ice cream cone to help avoid a drippy mess.
  • Make a brownie bowl for your ice cream. Tiny bowls made with a cupcake pan that are the perfect size for one scoop of ice cream.
  • When decorating with sprinkles, use a cookie cutter as a template to create shapes and designs!
  • Run your ice cream scoop under hot water before diving into your pint. Smoother scoops await!
  • Freeze ice cream into cubes and voila! A delicious way to cool down your hot cocoa.
  • Layer ice cream with whipped cream for an easy, last-minute treat!
  • A football cookie cutter makes ice cream sandwiches a super easy (and tasty) “Sundae” Night Football treat.
    At your next party, try cutting your ice cream with a warm knife to simplify serving.
  • What’s better than coffee with cream and sugar? Coffee blended with ICE CREAM SANDWICHES. Thank us later.
  • All it takes is a slice of leftover pie, milk and vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got a tasty milkshake.
  • No matter what soda floats your boat, we bet it will be delish when paired with ice cream. We especially love this Orange Creamsicle Float!
  • Combine cookie dough with ice cream - does a better combination exist?

More Mojo for Your Joe!

​Kinda funny how coffee - the #1 perk to keep office productivity percolating - is traditionally the biggest underachiever in the office.

Well, you don't need to be a barista to give your java some extra jump. Just a little thinking outside the coffee maker can take your brew from ho-hum to woo-hoo
Picture
Picture
​Don't dump leftover joe, make iced coffee cubes instead!

• Pour coffee into ice cube trays & freeze.
• Drop cubes in a cup & stir in your fave creamer.
• Enjoy your caffeine ice-cold.

Plus it never gets watered-down,
so bonus - more kick per cup!

Picture
No Fancy-pants milk steamer?  No worries!
  • Shake up some milk in a jar until frothy.
  • Pop the top & pop in the microwave for a few secs.
  • VOILA! Fluffy, froth for a luscious latte.

Hint: Spoon the stuff off the top to add a fluffy finish.

Give coffee a pre-brew of flavors to come!

• Pick a flavor - cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla... even lemon zest.

• Add to ground coffee before you brew.

• Infuse your pot with added flavor as it brews.

Double the delish with a
complementary flavored creamer!
