Chill Out


There’s nothing like a refreshing drink to quench your thirst during a hot Texas summer day. Health.com has given us 8 Cold Drinks for Your Cooler and they all look delicious. From the Raspberry Lemonade to the Hibiscus Tea with Peaches these are healthy beverages that are easy to make.

I’m just disappointed they didn’t include the classic Arnold Palmer…
