Watermelon Mint Lemonade, Bolthouse Farms - Aldi

Welp, I need a new CPU fan. My old one finally died on me and I need a new one or my PC will overheat. I’m hoping to pick one up on my way home from work tonight but in the meantime, let’s prevent my brain from overheating with some refreshing lemonade.

I know, I know, I’ve been reviewing a LOT of Aldi products lately, but it’s my go-to grocery store. I stop there twice a week to grab stuff for myself, my mom, and my grandpa. Since I’ve been reviewing so many Aldi products this week I figured I would take a break from their house branded items and try one of the name brand products they carry, like this summery Watermelon Mint Lemonade.

Bolthouse Farms Orange + Carrot Juice - Aldi

I don’t have the best eating habits. (Shocking, I know.) I eat frozen pizza 3-4 times a week and lately the only way I’ve been getting fruit into my diet is when I add it to waffle batter on the weekends. My typical routine is crazy and there’s no signs of it letting up any time soon, so squeezing vitamins, fruits and veggies into my diet any way I can is probably a good idea. The only catch is, it’s gotta taste good.

That whole green juice craze, where people puree raw kale with pretty much anything to make it not taste like sad wet lawn clippings, just doesn’t work for me. I tried it, and even though drinking one glass of that stuff tricked my brain into thinking I was magically healthier and somehow better for having done it, I never wanted to drink it again. I nursed the bottle I had until it reached room temperature and then I dumped it. (I’m sorry juice fanatics. I just couldn’t hang. I think kale is best eaten in savory chip form anyway.) Safe to say, the green juice route wasn’t for me, but what about orange? As in carrots. I like carrots. They’re sweet, and I could see that blending nicely with some fruit juices. Maybe this will be the juice for me.

Bolthouse Farms, Tropical Goodness - Aldi: Cherry Hill, NJ

Even though I love Fall, it’s just going to have to wait a minute while I have my end-of-summer-crisis. I worked all summer! I barely went outside! I only went swimming in my own pool twice! It’s can’t be fall yet! On top of all that, I still have a decent amount of summery products to review, so let’s all pretend that it isn’t September this whole week, does that sound good?

Okay, with that out of the way, I’m going to kick back and drink some of this Tropical Goodness and forget that it’s technically September right now.

Bolthouse Farms Stone Fruit Smoothie - Aldi

Everything in my life has been non-stop for the last two weeks, I worked, drove to Baltimore, worked almost 30 hours that weekend selling my art, drove back from Baltimore, unpacked, went right back to day job…etc. So yesterday, I was finally able to come home from my day job and get some much needed rest. How did I celebrate? I cooked an entire package of bacon, and ate 75% of it all by myself.

Not my proudest moment (who am I kidding, I’m totally proud of it), but when I woke up this morning I needed to ingest something that wasn’t bacon. I figured, what’s better to de-bacon-ify myself with than a healthy fruit smoothie?

Bolthouse Farms Multi-Y Goodness Cherry -Aldi: Cherry Hill, NJ

I’ve reviewed quite a few flavors of these Bolthouse smoothies, and I like them a lot, but I only buy 2-3 bottles a year. It packs a lot of fruit into each serving, which is awesome for those of you on the go, but it’s a pretty pricey product. I know there are some people out there who drink one of these each day, and if you can afford that, all the more power to you, but I only buy these when they show up at Aldi. Like most name brand Aldi items, they come and go at random, so you’ll never know when they’ll be around and what flavors will be offered. Since they are kind of rare, when I see a new flavor, I just can’t help myself, so into the cart it went.
