Beat the Heat
When the heat of summer takes over, it can be hard on our bodies and moods. Don’t let the scorching temps get you down, cool off with one of these refreshing Staff recommendations.
Hi-Ball Energy Water is my jam. They’re unsweetened, caffeinated, and effervescent- the trifecta! It gives me the energy to plow through my day, but without the usual crash I associate with energy drinks. My favorite flavor is Berry, cuz it’s berry delicious!

My summer drink of choice to quench my thirst is Crystal Geyser Sparkling Water. We carry five flavors total, original, lemon, lime, orange and mixed berry. Find them on the shelf in the Grocery Department and in the coolers up front by the check stands. Always crisp and refreshing!

My favorite way to re-energize my body after a long day in the sun is with the fresh water from a young Thai Coconut. This electrolyte packed super-food is a great treat on a hot summer day. Want to try one? Just ask any Produce Staff. We are happy to open one for you.
Addison Lavino, Produce
Griffin Creek Coffee Roasters has been making great cold brew concentrate for years. But did you know they also make delicious ready to drink cold brew? I love my coffee without sugar so this is a great choice. Smooth enough to drink straight, or it pairs excellently with your dairy or plant based milk of choice. This new product can be found in the Deli grab-n-go cooler.
