I wouldn’t tell you I’m digging a product if it isn’t true. Sometimes though, a product comes along that I enjoy so much I don’t know if "What I’m Digging" is enthusiastic enough. When I tell you I’m truly digging Hansen’s Natural Sparkling Sleek Sodas, take my word for it, this is good stuff.

Hansen’s Sparkling Sleek Sodas are made from sparkling water and natural fruit juice flavors. It’s very light and refreshing without being overly sweet and syrupy. In fact, it’s sweetened with pure cane sugar and there’s no high fructose stuff or chemicals or words you can’t pronounce - except maybe pomegranate. I’m always having trouble with that word.

The flavors are unique as well: Blueberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Grapefruit, Dragonfruit and Valencia Orange. Oh and the best part? 90 Calories,baby! And if carbs aren’t you’re thing, you can get a sugar free version.

This is a light, sophisticated and refreshing beverage.  Check out the video review and then read on to see how you can win a four pack of Hansen’s Natural Sparkling Sleek:

What I’m Digging: Caribou Iced Coffee

Caribou Iced Coffee

I love Iced Coffees and Frappacinos and Coolatas and other cups of sweet, frosty coffied goodness. Here’s the thing though, many of these products are overly sweet and very fattening. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised after sampling Caribou Iced Coffees. They were light, not too sweet and low in calories. So I can have my guilty pleasure without actually feeling guilty. Thus, total pleasure no guilt.

Caribou Iced Coffee comes in three different varieties, Regular Iced Coffee, Iced Coffee with Espresso and Vanilla Iced Coffee. Each ranged from 100 to 140 calories per bottle, with maybe a gram and a half each. And speaking of bottles, here’s something else I liked. The bottle is made of lightweight aluminum instead of glass. I can put one in my purse and it’s not very heavy.

True iced coffee and frappy-type drink lovers might find the Caribou Iced Coffee a little too light for their tests. I’m not one of them. I appreciate it’s lightness, because it has less sugar and other stuff the flavor of the delicious Caribou coffee comes through.
