hi*ball
The Fancy Foods show was overloaded with “waters” and energy drinks. Our pick is hi*ball, available at many supermarkets this drink is only 10 calories, no sugar, no sweeteners of any kind. We sample the orange. Just simple sparkling water with natural flavors – this one is refreshing after tasting so many sweet drinks.

sweetriot
Found these at the NY Fancy Food Show – we love everything about them. The cool packaging tins ( that can be recycled for many uses), the delicious teeny tiny pieces of chocolate covered cacao pieces, the ability to satisfy your chocolate urge and only consume a few calories, heck, even if you devoured the entire tin its only 140 calories!
