Filtered water bottles are a must for sponges like me, although to be honest, everyone wanting to be healthier should be drinking more water (not just when going to the gym!). Taste the ‪#‎waterrevolution‬ ‪#‎teambobble‬ ‪#‎whatsinmybag‬

Meet bobble, a stylish and very smart way to make every drop of water you drink better. Bobble is a fun, reusable bottle that filters water as you drink. When water passes through the ingenious carbon filter, chlorine is removed from ordinary tap water, and water tastes better - crisp and clean. Bobble is a beautiful alternative to single-serve plastic water bottles, which harm the earth (and your wallet).

Each replaceable bobble filter equates to 300 single-serve bottles. After 1 year, you alone have removed thousands of bottles from the environment, simply by filtering the water from your tap. Bobble is BPA free, and free of Pthalates and PVC, so drink up!

Dulce's Piña Colada (Virgin)

Difficulty: Easy

Notes:

The pineapple juice can be replaced with a fresh pineapple. One pound of pineapple should yield about 11 oz or just under a cup and a half.

For a healthier recipe, you can use fat free evaporated milk as well as reduced fat coconut cream.

Make sure ingredients are COLD in order to avoid curdling of milk.

Ingredients:

          1 12 oz can of evaporated milk

          1 12 to 15 oz can of coconut cream 

          36 to 42 oz of pineapple juice (to taste)

          8 to 12 oz of ice

Total servings:

          About 8 standard cups.

Preparation instructions & time: 1 hour

          Place all ingredients in refrigerator for about 45 minutes.

          Blender:

Peel and cut pineapple into chunks, and place it with just enough water in a blender. Blend until smooth. Run pineapple juice through strainer, once or twice, until most fibers are extracted. Discard fibers and place in refrigerator for about 45 minutes.

          Juicer: 

Peel and cut pineapple into chunks and use juicer. Discard fibers.

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ready in: 1 hr 10 mins

Directions:

1. Once all ingredients are cold, place half of the evaporated milk, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and 1/4 of ice in blender. Make sure all the coconut cream chunks have disappeared. 

2. Add ice to taste. If you prefer dense drinks, you may want to add less ice. 

Optional:

If you prefer lighter drinks, you may want to add water bit by bit until it reaches the right consistency.
