One of my most favorite go-to pantry items has to be Chobani plain Greek-style yogurt. I use it for everything! For breakfast with cereal, in smoothies, for baking and even as a substitute in sauces.

Zhi Tea is a 100% organic tea company based in Austin and they are serving up some of the best tea I’ve ever had. The Fredericksburg Peach (Black Tea) was the flavor that hooked me.

And this, their most popular peach flavor, served iced, is really light and refreshing. Available throughout Austin, TX or you can order online at www.zhitea.com.

Not all yogurts are created equal and for me, my favorite brand is Chobani. I’m pretty much addicted to this yogurt and use the plain Greek-style yogurt for many things in my cooking but for a snack, it’s the blueberry flavor that’s always in my fridge. I’ve tried many of their other flavors but it’s blueberry that still reminds on the top of my list. Field-fresh blueberries are added into their plain yogurt making it a perfect antioxidant-packed snack. Available at grocery stores around the country.
