If you struggle drinking water ...
« on: July 13, 2011, 02:34:43 PM »
I know some people really struggle getting all the water they need each day. I've gotten a lot better about it, but it took me awhile. Here's a little suggestion to help that's worked well for me ... SPICE IT UP!

** Use habanero or spicy mustard to dip cold cuts in instead of ketchup or BBQ sauce.
** Add a couple habanero or jalapeno stuffed olives to your meal.
** Instead of a hard-boiled egg, devil it with habanero or spicy mustard in the yolk.
** Add a few Tabasco drops to your scrambled eggs.


Trust me ... just a little of this will have you drinking a FULL GLASS of water with every meal! There are a lot of added health benefits of peppers and pepper-related products and most spicy mustards are zero carbs. I can really struggle drinking water and a lot of times I have to use something like a Lipton On-The-Go mix just to get it down. Today I dipped my turkey & ham rolls in habanero mustard, had a couple of jalapeno olives, and some saurkraut. Before I realized it, I had drank a full 32-ounce container of plain water!

What's the brand name? I've been looking for the Cabot brand, but can't find it here, not habanero anyway. Yancy's has a good jalapeno/pappadew. I find that at Costco. If it has habanero, I'll all over it. I miss the Fiery Habanero Doritos. I'm not a chips person, but those are awesome.

Great suggestion!  Bought Wasabi & Soy Sauce, Habanero BBQ & Cocoa Almonds. Wow the wasabi will make you want a drink of water.  Haven't tried the Cocoa yet. I like to keep some almonds in my desk at work for quick snack.

I still haven't tried the Cinnamon Almonds. If I do, I will have to put them in baggies too because I know I'd eat the entire can. I LOVE cinnamon, especially the super hot stuff.

I don't think there's any chance of Umpa creating a SF Super Hot Tamale candy, is there? I guess they're called FIRE now. I love those things.

If I'm not mistaken, they're those hot red cinnamon candies that are rather large, elongated jelly beans.
I've seen them in the movie theaters since I was a kid.
What you do today is what matters!

Umpa -- Yeah, I like the hard cinnamon candies, too, and I know they make them SF. It's just, well, it's just not the same as the chewy. But ... I'll survive. :)
