Minute Maid Cherry LimeAid
In my quest to drink fewer carbonated beverages, I've switched to drinking more juice. At the store this evening I found a new (to me) juice blend from Minute Maid: Cherry-LimeAid. I had no idea what to expect, but yum yum yum! I hope I can find this yummy drink in more stores. It's a great alternative to drinking Coke and Pepsi.
I'm also reminded of the containers fresh Blood Orange juice I was able to buy when I took a vacation to Malta a few years ago. I couldn't get enough of this delicacy. I know blood oranges are common in Europe, especially around the Mediterranean countries, but I haven't seen them very often in the United States.

Since switching to diet Pepsi and water a month ago, I've lost almost 15lbs. Part of this is also that I'm working out, but cutting the empty calories out of my diet has been an excellent way to aid in my weight-loss goals.
Crystal Light lemonade is also a good choice. I'm drinking gallons of the stuff at home, where there is no diet soda.

One of my favorite drinks of all time: Cherry-Lime-Aid soft drink from Sonic

Blood oranges are out of season right now, though I did have a cup of freshly squeezed blood orange juice at the Metropolitan Museum's cafeteria a few (2?) months back.
