As parents, our goal is to not only raise our children to be kind, productive humans, but we all have a goal to be around to see as much of their lives as we possibly can. We want to see them graduate from high, get married, have their own kids, be successful and so much more. Ever since we started our semi-crunchyish journey, taking better care of our health is vitally important to us for these reasons and so many more. We want to be here for them, but we also want to be able to live our own lives to our full potential.

I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate foods into our lives that are beneficial to fulling this goal in our lives. Not only that, but growing up as an extremely picky eater, I always want to try and add new foods to our diets so my own kids don’t become how I once was growing up.  Recently, a local store had pomegranates on sale. I’ve had pomegranate juice and liked it, but I’ve never ate an actual real pomegranate. I decided to grab some.

Y’all.

Why did no one tell me about the pomegranate goodness?  I’m almost upset that no one told me. Both of the girls like them too, especially the little one. I started playing around with pomegranates in different ways and recently got a brilliant idea for a morning drink. I’m super picky about what I drink in the morning.  It has to have good flavor, be healthy, and cannot be coffee or tea. Blech, I don’t know how some of you drink it everyday! After a few tries, I came up with this Pomegranate Orangeade recipe that is now my go to in the morning.

Here’s my secret. I put in Emergen-C. I personally love the fizziness to give me a wake-up call in the mornings, but I also love that it’s packed with B vitamins, antioxidants†, electrolytes plus more vitamin C than 10 oranges^. While there are over 20 different Emergen-C flavors, the Super Fruit Pomegranate variety pushes this drink over the top of the deliciousness scale. And luckily since I don’t like coffee or tea, the B Vitamins in Emergen-C enhance energy naturally* without caffeine.

You want the recipe huh?

Seed your pomegranate. Side note: why did no one tell me how messy pomegranates are!? 

In a blender add your pomegranate seeds and orange juice.

Using a mesh strainer, separate the juice from seed remnants.

Add in Emergen-C Super Fruit Pomegranate, water, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined. Drink!

During the holidays growing up, at all of our family functions, there was soda and kool-aid.  That’s it.  You had to choose from those two options or you had to choose water. Now, I’ve had punch throughout my life, but it was never made with real fruit that I remember until meeting Andrew’s mom.  For Thanksgiving, ever year she makes a punch and a sangria.  I asked her the secret to make it taste so good and she said two things – you have to let the fruits sit for a few hours minimum and you have to add a bang. Vintage® Seltzer is what gives the bang.  You want something to make your mouth pop and this recipe does just that.  With the duo of cranberries and apples along with other fruits, it’s the perfect Thanksgiving inspired sangria recipe or a just because recipe.  Don’t drink alcohol or don’t want it around for the littles?  Don’t worry.  We’re showing you today how to make it a sangria recipe or a regular punch recipe.

What’s even better is that the punch recipe is 100% toddler approved.  I love that we have a recipe that we can make and share with our girl and feel good about her having a treat, but still getting nutrients too.  She loves getting some whole pieces of fruit to chew on!

Vintage® Seltzer is our go-to for enhancing any punch or sangria.  The fizz and bubbles are just so much better in our opinion.Vintage® Seltzer has no artificial flavors, no added colors or dyes, no high fructose corn syrup, and no sugar. This is HUGE for us, especially when we are letting our toddler drink something.  Also, because of Andrew’s high blood pressure, we love thatVintage® Seltzer is low in sodium, some of the flavors even having no sodium.

Vintage® Seltzer comes in 10 different flavors: Original, Lemon-Lime, Mandarin Orange, Lemon, Lime, Pomegranate, Seedless Watermelon, Raspberry, Raspberry – Lime, and Wild Cherry.

You can find your local retailer by visiting drinkvintage.com/find-vintage.  We found a small selection of Vintage® Seltzer in our local Target store and a larger selection in our local Wal-mart store right in the drink aisle.  The bright blue boxes are hard to miss, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding them.  I loved getting the 1 liter bottles because our store had more flavors available in those. They also sell 12-pack 12oz cans and typically retails for $3.99.

Lastly, making a Thanksgiving or holiday tablescape doesn’t have to be difficult. Grab some fresh produce – in our case for Thanksgiving inspired, we chose pumpkins and apples.  If you were making this for Easter, for example, you could do oranges and strawberries.  Adding a bowl of wedged limes and lemons is always a great addition as well.  Putting a small box under your tablecloth to add height and dimension. You’ll have the perfect tablescape to show off to your guests.

We hope you enjoy our Thanksgiving holiday inspired Cranberry Apple Sangria recipe that you can also make non-alcoholic. Let us know what you think in the comments!
