Dry January? More Like Snack January!

Dry January is sooo out of style. Did you know that the percentage of people who say they drink fell 10% over the last decade? Thanks to the boost in delicious N/A beverage options, the boom in social activities that have nothing to do with alcohol presence (run and book clubs), and a greater self-awareness thanks to holistic nutrition influencers, it looks like younger generations are increasingly aware of the consequences of drinking.

Don’t be fooled though, we love a boozy sparkling beverage every now and then, but we must say, we’re pretty partial to indulging in snacks over alcohol. We’ve rounded up the perfect drink and snack pairings to start the new year off deliciously!

1. Dr. Brew Mountain Ginger and Absurd Snacks Rosemary Sea Salt

Nothin’ beats a mid-afternoon pick-me-up like a salty snack and bubbly beverage. This snack and drink combo is both a zing of flavor and a nutrient-boost powerhouse, with gut-healthy bacteria from Brew Dr. and a fiber and protein punch from yours truly. You really can’t go wrong with any of Dr. Brew’s flavors, but we’re partial to the gingery-goodness matched with our herby Rosemary Sea Salt snack mixes.

2. Owl Spoon Water Kefir Green Tea and Absurd Snacks Maple Cinnamon

If you’ve never tried water kefir, here is your brief introduction. Water kefir is a potent source of probiotics that help promote a healthy digestive system and boost your immune function (copy and paste right from their website!). Plus, Owl Spoon does it right - they steep their herbs and spices in cold water for 24 hours for maximum benefits. Pair it with Maple Cinnamon Absurd Snacks and you’ve just created a lil’ sweet treat to boost your day!

3. Aura Bora Strawberry Basil and Absurd Snacks Rosemary Sea Salt

Talk about sweet and salty! The perfect combo of a slightly sweet and refreshing bev with a kick from Absurd Snacks. Aura Bora makes fabulous and no sugar added canned beverages using super unique herb and spice blends. What we love about them too, is their affordability. A lot of times you can find them on sale in-store for about $1.50/can! Pair that with a serving of Absurd Snacks and you’ve just made your belly and pocket happy.
