Carbonate ANY cold beverage with Drinkmate instaFizz

Perhaps you have owned or at least seen the Drinkmate systems before. Most retailers carry flavor solutions because the original concept had you adding flavors to water and sparkling them. Now, Drinkmate instaFizz has a portable water bottle that carbonates any cold beverage from anywhere. Take it camping, to parties and to work. If you are craving carbonated drinks or want your cocktails to sparkle, the instaFizz is your portable beverage companion.

Choose your favorite color to tote around and bring your box of CO2 cartridges. They are just small cartridges that easily fit in a lunch bag and can be safely tossed away when done because they are single use size. You can also use the Drinkmate CO2 recycle buy back for those empty cartridges which is much better for the environment. Now you can carbonate any beverage.

It is as easy to use as twist, swirl and sip! The DrinkMate instaFizz can be used with water, juices, iced tea, coffee, energy drinks, wine, cocktails, and even flat soda. This is perfect to add a small amount of fizz on the go so you can get the fizz in drinks you wish rather than buying sugary sodas. You pick the ingredient and instaFizz does the work for you!

Take your 2024 Healthy Goals on the go with BlendJet

Erin Sluka

My routing changed several weeks ago. I eat breakfast as late as possible and on weekdays it is a protein smoothie. Once you grab all of your ingredients and have them handy, making morning smoothies is actually very easy. I have it down to completion before coffee brews. On mornings when I am in a hurry or when traveling, I always wish there was a way to still get my morning smoothie made. With BlendJet 2, I can take my healthy goals on the go!

Whether I want to travel with my BlendJet or take it in the RV when camping, making smoothies (and even cocktails) are not far-reached. First of all, the many designs to choose from are so fun. I also love the extra accessories you can buy such as my larger cup I use when making smoothies. This assures that I can fit my fruits, powders and liquids for a full meal serving.

This BlendJet 2 model has stainless steel blades that are offset from the center of the base, which creates a tornado effect that blasts ingredients into the back of the jar 275 times per second. This technology — combined with a more powerful motor and doubled battery capacity — makes BlendJet 2 five times more powerful than BlendJet One. You will want this upgrade to handle all blending recipes on the go. Shop BlendJet for 2024!

Subarashii Kudamono Offers Asian Pear Gift Boxes for the Holidays

Erin Sluka

I never knew a pear could taste so fantastic and have such great texture. Honestly, I never gave much thought beyond the store pears I buy at the grocer. Now I think the pear is my new favorite fruit after trying the varieties in my Asian Pear gift box from Subarashii Kudamono. These hand-picked, hand-packed Asian Pear varieties include LilySan, AnaSan, EliSan, New Pear, and JunoSan.

If you are as unfamiliar with the best pear varieties as I was, I’ll share what I learned about what was in my gift box.

  • LilySan – picked late in the fall pear season. Milder flavor great for baking or with meat dishes.
  • AnaSan – picked earlier in the pear season. Sweet and juicy and great as a snack or appetizer
  • EliSan – picked near mid-pear season. Crisp and juicy with mild tartness. Great in salad or meat dishes
  • New Pear – picked almost anytime. So savory and refreshing and great as a wine appetizer or dessert
  • JunoSan – picked anytime. The crispiest and so delicant that it is great in a sandwich or salad

Pear gift boxes are such a great Holiday gift because they are harvested September-November. Once you experience these varieties, a bartlett hardly cuts it anymore! Shop gift boxes at WonderfulFruit.com
