Drink Skinny

The Date: Tuesday, December 15

The Delivery: Drink Skinny Margarita Mix
Staff Pick: Margarita Mix made with agave nectar? Yes, please!

The DL: More often than not, drink mixes aren't exactly pictures of health, but this mix from Drink Skinny contains 40 percent lime and lemon juices, organic agave nectar, stevia, and nothing else (until, of course, you add the tequila!). Yup, we're sold. Pair this stuff with the VN guide for Easy Party Eats, and you have yourself a party. Cheers!

Savory Salsa

Date: Monday, April 13
The Delivery: An armful of books, and some salsas and sauces
Staff Pick: The pineapple salsa from Organicville

The DL: This salsa seems to have many good qualities. First, it's a condiment. Second, it's organic. And third, it looks to have a sweet kick, and not just any sweet kick, but an agave-nectar-sweetened kick. And we sure do love our agave nectar here at the VNHQ.

Speaking of things we love, the cinnamon buns from Sticky Fingers Bakery definitely tops the list, and we're giving away not one, but six of them over at VegNews.com. Hurry on over for a chance to win!

Books, DVDs, and Vegan Caramel Agave

The Date: Monday, January 24

The Delivery: The Raw Truth: Recipes and Resources for the Living Foods Lifestyle by Jeremy A. Safron, Voyage to Betterment: A Health and Happiness True Life Story DVD, and caramel agave dipping nectar from The Real Food Trading Company

Staff Pick: The caramel agave dipping nectar

The DL: What could be better than a sugar-free, organic, vegan alternative to caramel syrup? Well, maybe a trip to India with VegNews Vacations, featuring VN's very own Publisher Joe Connelly and Associate Publisher Colleen Holland, but we can't all be that lucky. We here at VNHQ will mask our jealousy instead by looking forward to dousing some crisp apples in the contents of this bottle of sweet caramel nectar.
