Dessert of the Day: Fruizo from Simply Peeled

If you find yourself in Manhattan's Upper East Side and you aren't sprinting through the streets to keep warm, you need to try Fruizo. Although the name sounds like a chemical ridden dessert predominantly consumed by astronauts, Fruizo is actually one of the most natural, healthy, and refreshing desserts that I've had in a long time. Made only at Simply Peeled, Fruizo is made from fresh fruit, filtered water, and a touch of all natural sugar cane blended together into the creamy delicious flavors of banana, apple, mango, and strawberry. Fruizo can be eaten like frozen yogurt and can be enjoyed as a shake or a sundae. From chocolate chips to fresh fruit, every topping served at Simply Peeled is completely natural and organic.

My favorite thing about Friuzo is that it's not just a treat for the health conscious. With sundae options including creamy banana Fruizo, peanut butter, and rich dark chocolate, you won't even miss your local Coldstone. However, no matter what you choose to get at Simply Peeled, you are definitely doing both your body and taste buds a favor!

Tip: Use Fruizo in your cocktails! Instead of using artificial sugary juices and syrups that lead to awful hangovers, substitute with Fruizo. Check out Divya's Fruizopolitan made with the seasonal flavor, cranberry Fruizo.

Product of the Day: Batter Blaster Pancake Mix

Pancakes from a can, organic-style. It's a new concept that probably doesn't sound quite right, but actually it is genius. Spray from what seems like a whip cream can and in seconds you will discover an already made batter—no eggs, flour or Bisquick required.

Batter Blaster is a USDA certified organic pancake and waffle batter. This organic instant batter provides us with five-minute delicious, warm pancakes that taste just as good as any mix, only its ingredients are natural (and not scary). All you do is point and spray in a circular motion and you have you're short stack grilling to perfection. So next time you wake up craving flapjacks, but can't seem to conjure up Martha Stewart mojo, whip out the Batter Blaster. Tip: Try to spray a thick circular amount on your skillet or frying pan for best results. Pancakes go best with real Vermont maple syrup!
