Refrigerated Drinks
Drinks that keep me going! Some are healthier than most; others are healthy-adjacent.
When I haven't cooked anything, this is my favorite way to get greens in my belly! It's got collards, it's got kale, it's got celery, and other veggies—but hints of apples and ginger give it that kick of sweetness! Because who wants to drink straight...
Suja Mighty Dozen
One of THE best lemonades I've ever had.
Natalie's Juices - Guava Lemonade
This elixir never fails to make me feel energetic and “light”. It does for me everything that the company advertises. Results might vary for others! I like the Ginger & Turmeric and Cola flavors, as well.
Alive Mushroom Elixir - Lemon Lime
Non-Perishable Drinks
Healthy or healthy-ish canned or boxed drinks!
Store 'em in the pantry, but I highly recommend drinking your Waterloo beverages nice and cold. Raspberry Nectarine is a go-to flavor year-round for me.
Raspberry Nectarine - Waterloo Sparkling Water
This is my favorite Waterloo flavor. I love peach-flavored anything, but I try to drink it only during the summertime so the novelty doesn't wear off. Now, I must warn you, if you're looking for a sparkling water that packs a strong punch, you won't ...
Peach - Waterloo Sparkling Water
I LOVE ginger ale. It's my go-to soft drink, in fact. I rarely drink dark sodas. Now, I typically lean toward a Reed's or Red Rock—something with a kick! But when I'm feeling sick or just want something lighter, I grab an Olipop.
Olipop - Ginger Ale
My favorite flavor of Popwell - just the right balance of cherry and citrus. I don't feel heavy with a sugar rush after drinking this.
Popwell Prebiotic Soda - Cherry Citrus
Second favorite Popwell flavor! So nice and crisp and fruity.
Tropical Mango | Prebiotic Soda | Popwell™
Refrigerate after opening! I JUST came across this organic drink in Summer 2025 (I love RW Knudsen drinks) - but this would probably be a great drink to sip on during autumn!
Cranberry/Orange/Cinnamon Juice by RW Knudsen
It's sweet but not syrupy sweet--light without being bland. Definitely a new favorite!
Vidagua Mango Ginger (6-Pack)
Refrigerated Snacks
Nothing like a cool, sweet treat!
A nice, flavorful treat for those with dairy allergies (or lactose intolerance)!
Dairy Free Gelato - Caramel Toffee Crunch by Talenti
Non-Perishable Snacks
Snacks for your pantry—some are healthy, some are “better than the alternative”.
One of my favorite sweet treats! I usually have a hard time with salted caramel. Whether it's ice cream or milkshakes, the balance is rarely ever quite right for me. These puffs are the perfect balance!
Sea Salt Caramel Puffs - The Fresh Market
Refrigerated Meals
Healthy Frozen Dinners!
This has held me down when I've been craving the real thing, but wanted it quick, easy, and affordable.
Saffron Road - Chicken Pad Thai
This ties me over when I have a craving for curry chicken!
Saffron Road - Coconut Curry Chicken
Pretty tasty! Even if you don't care for tofu, I think this is flavorful enough to make you get past the dislike.
Saffron Road - Vegetable Pad Thai
