There's nothing like a sweet treat to end a delicious meal. It's always nice to have a perfect blend of sweet and savory in each meal. However, too many sweets can leave your health in disarray. If you'd like to maintain a healthy body and cavity-free smile, consider making a few of these sweet treats as a healthier alternative to your normal dessert staples.
1. Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
Many of your favorite popsicle brands are filled with artificial ingredients, flavoring and colors. These popsicles also come with a lot of unhealthy sugar. Don't let a picture a fruit on the box fool you. Instead of licking diabetes on a stick, consider making your own at home. Make a delicious lemonade with fresh lemons, maple syrup and water. Then, wash and puree a bunch of strawberries in the blender. Make sure the strawberries are at their peak of ripeness. This will help your popsicle maintain natural sweetness. Once the strawberries are pureed, add the lemonade to the blender and puree the mix some more. Add the strawberry lemonade mix to popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for a few hours.

However, if you can't seem to let go of the sodas just yet, start by making your own at home. When you make it at home, you'll eliminate the artificial sweeteners and unnecessary ingredients. For a delicious root beer float, make your own old-fashioned root beer. Use natural ingredients such as wintergreen, sassafras, ginger and wild cherry bark to make a delicious root beer drink. Once you've made the soda, add some whipped cream and a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Vegan ice cream is just as creamy and delicious as the real thing. However, dairy isn't always the healthiest on the body. The vegan version may have some sugar, but it's a little gentler on the body.

Placed the dry ice into a flask, covered the opening of the flask with a balloon, and placed tape around the balloon in order for the carbon dioxide gas not be able to leak.
Coke continuously out-stands Pepsi, even though they share a very similar taste and colour, however Coke should not be the drink that receives all the love and attention for what it offers. Despite their similar soda colour, the drinks actually contain some different ingredients, which produce a different taste, and affect the body differently. Furthermore, the way the companies markets their drinks makes a huge contribution to how successful their products will become. The major element for success however stems from their impact on society and how the companies utilize their social power to evolve. The two major soda companies are constantly head to head with one another, yet it is what they do that sets them apart.

Lemonade Syllabus feature’s Beyoncé’s album Lemonade, and literary works from a plethora of genres. Lemonade Syllabus is different than a class syllabus because it displays what the class is about, and what needs to be accomplished during the semester. It is an impactful literary work because she uses the syllabus in an ironic manner. Benbow does not use a syllabus as a reader may expect to read a syllabus, and that helps to keep the audience looking for more. Although you know how the class will be, there is still an air of mystery regarding how the class will be implemented. You do not have options with a syllabus most of the time, and with Lemonade you have control over what you want to read. I think Candace’s Lemonade Syllabus is different because she gives us an outline into black womanhood and feminism. There are no assumptions of what the quotes, literary works, or pictures mean all of it revolves around educating her readers. The composition corresponds with genre because it goes hand in hand with the black social issues seen today. The readings and Beyoncé’s lemonade are cohesive, the content displayed in both of them are about social injustices and how to heal from them.
We solved the first problem by pumping both balloons up thirty times with a pump. We solved the second problem by making sure the straw was attached in the middle of the car, and was straight. If I had to do this experiment again, I would have used wood for the base of the car, not styrofoam. Styrofoam was not sturdy enough, and it was hard to attach some things like the wheels to it. I learned many things while doing this project, and would recommend it to
...Gatorade. Go look at some other drinks such as PowerAde or some Vitamin Water. There pretty much all the same just with different flavors. Advertisers try and persuade you from the one place you thought was safe from them, your brain. There’s pretty much no hiding from ads but the next time you see one on TV don’t just passively watch them, and let those advertisers in your brain, analyze those commercials, so instead of just watching, you’ll be thinking.

After choosing the flavor that best suits your taste buds, the second step is making sure that your kitchen houses some necessary equipment for making the Kool-Aid. Find a two-quart pitcher. Plastic is nice, but glass pitchers allow the liquid to shine through and add festive coloration to any refrigerator shelf. Next, find a long-handled wooden spoon, a one-cup measuring cup, a water faucet that spouts drinkable water, usable white sugar, and an ice cube tray full of ice. Then, you are ready to mix.
Before you drink another energy drink, please take into consideration what some of the ingredients are. “The large amounts of sugar in energy drinks can lead to unnecessary spikes in blood sugar, dental health problems, and added weight gain.” (Readers digest editors 1). “Compare it to a popular soda and you’ll find that often energy drinks contain even more sugar than a regular soda.” (Readers digest editors 1).

Americans are obsessed with a lot of things: our smart phones, celebrities, and finding a good bargain. But perhaps the thing we’re most obsessed with is good ol’ coffee. For many of us, our mornings are perfectly diabolical without at least a cup or two or three of the stuff. And, come 2 o’clock, when we know in our heart and bones we’ll never make it ‘til five and we need that pick me up, many of us head to the nearest deli or barista to grab a cup of “second wind.”
Have you ever wondered if buying a gatorade before a game is worth the price or would water just be fine? I have often wondered if getting a gatorade would be worth the money or if just getting water would be fine. I play sports almost every season and always have to decide wether to get a gatorade or just drink the water they gives. I am so think that what makes the gatorade worth buying, is it just for the taste or does it have something that actually helps. I believe that learning more about electrolytes and hydration would be useful to explain which drink would be for me as an athlete during a game.
We are all familiar with sugar. It is sweet, delicious, and addictive; yet only a few of us know that it is deadly. When it comes to sugar, it seems like most people are in the mind frame knowing that it could be bad for our health, but only a few are really taking the moderate amounts. In fact, as a whole population, each and everyone of us are still eating about 500 extra calories per day from sugar. Yes, that seems like an exaggerated number judging from the tiny sweet crystals we sprinkle on our coffee, but it is not. Sugar is not only present in the form of sweets and flavourings, it is hidden in all the processed foods we eat. We have heard about the dangers of eating too much fat or salt, but we know very little about the harmful effects of consuming too much sugar. There still isn’t any warnings about sugar on our food labels, nor has there been any broadcasts on the serious damages it could do to our health. It has come to my concern during my research that few
