If you follow my Instagram and Snapchat you’d know I eat a lot…of crap. But I work out a lot too which in my mind eliminates said unhealthy eating.
So I do have my Rooibos tea at least once a day to ease my eating habits, you know that I’ have been drinking the new flavours by Freshpak, Cranberry & pomegranate & Watermelon & mint. Anything to satisfy my sweet tooth. And after the long weekend (aka the 4-day devouring of everything in my path) I’ve been on a ‘tea binge’ if you like. I’ve told you all about the health benefits in my previous article so I’m trying to implement them and FAST as summer is basically in our doorstep. It’s become part of my everyday routine I’ll have some before polefit in the morning around 8am and then after 1pm to soothe my sweet cravings after lunch which basically keeps me going all afternoon. And because Rooibos has no caffeine I don’t have any ‘downers’.
So my plan of action for summer is this:
-Hit the kitchen & create delicious ice tea recipes of my own
-Make it tasty & try all the Freshpak flavours at least once (there’s a whole range from Freshpak Junior for kids to green tea, hoodia & Rooibos
-Reap the health benefits of tea
-Make them at every pool party, braai or get together I attend in order to try and control my ever growing midriff and basically look like Martha freakin Stewart
I’ve tried an ice tea recipe twice now & want to share it with you guys because I love it.
I am down for a healthier, fresher, sexier summer with ice tea…
I’ve found some delicious recipes on their their website too:Recipes

I have subscribed to your blog. Ooh I finally found a teabag that is good for me, I love drinking this with just hot water, its so tasty compared to green tea which is also supposed to be good for you. This tea does everything for my mood, it relaxes me, makes me happy, warm and content. Freshpak Tea really helps me especially when I am extremely stressed, irritable, suffer from headaches & experience nervous tension. I love the soothing effect it has on my nervous system and helps me relax. Being a health conscious consumer I choose freshpak tea both for myself and my family because of the many benefits attached to drinking it. I love Freshpak Rooibos Tea and have always enjoyed it and now have a new found love for Freshpak Rooibos and Chamomile Tea. I also love the Freshpak Hoodia Tea it helps curb my appetite and Freshpak Ginseng & Rooibos for energy
