Fab Friday: Sugarfree Red Bull Drink Recipes

I’m going to kick off Fab Fridays with two citrus drink recipes that require Red Bull – sugarfree Red Bull that is, which has become a universal power drink for girls on the go. Thing is, it doesn’t taste too great… but a couple clementines and some ice cubes will freshen it right up!

First will be a low-key smoothie recipe containing Red Bull – with minimal fixings to make it easy for everyone – and with ginkgo biloba, which you can find at your local drugstore in the vitamin aisle, and which improves mental focus. After having a couple girlies ask on Twitter for my impromptu Red Bull/champagne drink recipe, I’m going to share that, also. So, without further adieu… Continue Reading »

“Get Lost” Weight Control Tea by Republic of Tea

Last year I made a resolution to shed all the weight I had gained in previous years. After having successfully done so in 2008, my resolution this year is to keep the weight off.

There are things that war against that number on the scale, including unforeseen water weight gained after, say, a few large dinners or a night out drinking. When it comes to water weight, it can actually account for 5-15 extra pounds on your body! This is especially true if you eat a diet rich in simple carbs – chips, fast food, full-sugar sodas, and so much more. Besides cutting back on the junk, drinking lots of CLEAN fluids like water and tea can help you keep excess water weight off.

Not all teas are created equal. On of my favorites right now is “Get Lost” weight control red tea – a caffeine-free herbal tea containing rooibos and cinnamon as well as carob and gymnema. Rooibos is a naturally detoxifying and energizing herb that also alleviates anxiety, allergies, *and* zits! Carob and gymnema are natural appetite suppressants.

The natural cinnamon/orange peel flavor is delicious. I pour just a bit of Splenda or stevia in it and I’m good to go. I drink about four cups of this tea a day and – I will say – I’m relieving myself throughout the day much more frequently! If you don’t mind having to explain yourself in the office or on the job, you’re golden In the past week I’ve lost 5 pounds and eat less at each sitting. Detoxification is a glorious thing.

“Get Lost” weight control tea by The Republic of Tea is available for $11 (36 tea pods) via Amazon.com.

Fab Food: Skinny Omelette Recipe

I absolutely love eggs. I could eat them everyday. Probably because you can’t really get bored with them when there are so many different ways to prepare them. Omelettes are probably the most fun because you can add lots of yummy things into them. Green peppers, mushrooms… the options are endless.

With this recipe we’ll be preparing a large, “skinny” omelette (by spreading it thin) then using it to make a veggie wrap with feta cheese. Yum! Feel free to omit an ingredient or be creative by adding your own tasty components.

Skinny Omelette

Ingredients

2 large (preferably organic) eggs
a tiny pinch of fine grain sea salt
a few tablespoons of chopped chives
a dollop of pesto
a bit of goat cheese or feta
a small handful of mixed salad greens

Preparation

Using a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt. Beat well, until the eggs are mostly uniform in color – they seem to run around the pan more evenly when there aren’t huge patches of yolk vs. whites.

In a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat pour the egg mixture. Give the mixture a good swirl so that they spread out thinly across the entire pan. Sprinkle the eggs with some of the chives and let them set, this happens quickly depending on the heat of your pan – 15 seconds to one minute. Run a spatula underneath the omelette and slide it out of the pan (flat) onto a countertop, large cutting board or cookie sheet. Do this with confidence (or practice). Spread the pesto across the surface of the omelette (if you have a thick pesto, thin it a bit with water to make it easily spreadable), and then sprinkle with the cheese and salad greens. Starting with one end, roll the omelette away from you. Cut in half on a deep diagonal. Season with a bit more salt if needed and serve garnished with a few chopped chives.

Serves one or two. Lovely!
