Today, we’re introducing the newest beverage to join our Whole30 Approved program: Spindrift. Spindrift is the first sparkling water made with real, squeezed fruit. It’s a great option for those who want more flavor in their sparkling water or those who prefer to avoid natural flavors.
[Tweet “#Whole30Approved Spindrift—sparkling water made with real squeezed fruit. Simple & delicious!”]
The team at Spindrift knows the value of good, real ingredients; they source all of their fruit from family farms. Flip over any can of Spindrift for your “Whole30 ingredient check,” and you see a short list of real ingredients: just real, squeezed fruit and sparkling water. That’s it! Obviously Whole30 compatible, and a fun, flavorful option for the whole family.
They offer 7 tasty flavors: Blackberry, Cucumber (Melissa’s favorite), Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange Mango, Raspberry Lime, and Strawberry. They also just launched a brand new flavor, Half Tea and Half Lemon. Each one is refreshingly fizzy and tart, made to pair perfectly with your Whole30 meals. It’s a great way to add a little punch of bright flavor to your day.
A can of Spindrift is a great way to treat yo’ self (especially when food boredom starts to creep into your Whole30). It’s also the perfect drink to toast with when you’re celebrating Whole30-style; looking festive and pretty poured into a fancy glass with a fruit garnish.
You can find Spindrift nationwide in Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Target, Kroger, and Costco and at café-style restaurants like Starbucks and Panera. To find the retailer closest to you, check their our Store Locator. And, keep an eye on our Whole30 Instagram this week; we’ve got some Spindrift to give away to one lucky Whole30’er!
Whole30 Party Platter, featuring Spindrift
We took one look at Spindrift’s gorgeous, brightly-colored cans, and were inspired to build a Whole30 party platter to pair with our favorite flavors. It’s the perfect way to gather friends together to welcome the spring season—you don’t even have to tell them it’s a Whole30 menu.
1 | Gather your Ingredients for the Platter
3-4 of your favorite Whole30-compatible sausages, grilled, chilled and sliced
Whole30 compatible Prosciutto (we like Whole30 Approved Applegate)
Whole30-compatible deli turkey slices, individually rolled. (Tip: try the meat counter of your local health food store; ask for “sliced thin.”.) Alternately, grill and chill a chicken breast, and slice it diagonally to serve.
4-5 selections of your favorite veggies, served raw. We chose sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, green beans, and tomatoes.
2-3 selections of your favorite fruit. Berries work well here, but you could also use sliced apples, pears, citrus supremes, or mango spears… even something exotic like star fruit slices.
