You had me at No Artificial anything! @ReedsGingerBrew #Review #GlutenFree #PreservativeFree #CaffeineFree #Sodas #Spon

Aren't all the colors of the Brews beautiful? Colas, Cream Sodas, Root Beers, and even Ginger Beer (Ale.)


I'm truly amazed by REED's Inc.  with all of their Brews being GMO Free, Preservative Free, Caffeine Free, and with No Artificial anything while still maintaining a great taste of fresh ingredients, and the carbonation is to die for.  When I am craving a Soda, it's that carbonation, and mix of Flavors that I want.  The first Soda I wanted to try was the Zero Root Beer that has No Calories!!  It was delicious, and hit the spot I was looking for.  Something Sweet while the foam was perfect on top! I then tried the Jamaican Style Ginger Beer (Ale) and was blown away by the spices.  These are how Sodas were meant to be Brewed.  

With detail to Flavor like that I completely can taste why each beverage tastes as strong, and smooth as they do. "Virgil's made naturally for the soft drink connoisseur originally Virgil's was one man's passion to create the finest root beer ever produced.  After retiring from a very successful career in the beverage industry, Ed Crowly set out to research making his root beer. As a result of his research Ed developed the recipe for Virgil's Root Beer.  Recipe in hand, his search for the finest ingredients took him around the world.  The results are three NASFT awards for Virgil's Root Beer the highest ever for a beverage. When Ed retired, Reed's Inc. took over the company and has added cream sodas, and colas worthy of Ed's pioneering efforts all made naturally without caffeine or preservatives.  Reed’s Inc. was started in 1989 by Chris Reed. His research into the history of sodas found soft drink recipes from before the beginning of the modern soft drinks industry… He found that back in the early log cabin days, the pioneers couldn’t go to the store and buy soft drinks, they brewed their own sodas. They didn’t make them the way modern commercial soft drinks are made, even the so called natural ones. They brewed them in their kitchens, directly from roots, spices and fruits. These early soft drinks, besides being natural and delicious, were also healthy. Many folk used them as herbal tonics." Read more about Reed's Inc. Brews here, http://reedsinc.com/




Just Listen to the fresh ingredients in the Regular Virgils Root Beer; Purified Carbonated Water, Un-bleached Cane Sugar, Anise From Spain, Licorice From France, Vanilla (Bourbon) From Madagascar, Cinnamon From Ceyton, Clove From Indonesia, Wintergreen From China, Sweet Birch From The Southern U.S, Molasses From The U.S., Nutmeg From Indonesia, Pimento Berry Oil from Jamaica, Balsam Oil From Peru, Cassia Oil From China.  

Check out more of Reed's Brews over at www.REEDSInc.com, for more flavors like Spiced Apple, Raspberry, Cherry, Premium, Original, Extra Ginger Brew (Ale.) Then You Have Virgil's Root Beer, Cream Soda, Black Cherry Cream Soda, Orange Cream Soda, Real Cola.  And, the Zero Calorie options of Virgil's, Zero Root Beer, Zero Cream Soda, Zero Black Cherry Cream Soda, and Zero Real Cola. Can't forget the Butterscotch Beer either!

I tried the Crystallized Ginger Candy and it literally melts in your mouth, and has the strongest, tastiest natural ginger flavor ever.  It's soft, and easy to eat which I really enjoyed.  

If you have not tried REED's Sodas, or Virgils you definitely should try them.  I can't help but enjoy a soda with a meal here, and there.  It's one of my guilty pleasures.  Locate a store near you, http://reedsinc.com/store-locator/

I received samples for my opinion.  All images are my own, and I completely agree with natural ingredients are the way to go! Thank you Reed's Inc. for making a fantastic product.

What's for Dinner? Gluten Free Eggplant Parm Extremely Low Carb #Fried #Eggplant #PorkRind #Breading #Garlic #Powder #Salt #Pepper #Foodie #Love #GuessWhoseMakingEggplant #Parmesan




I absolutely love Pastas, and this was a great substitute for it. I breaded the eggplant with Crushed Pork Rinds ( The pork rinds have enough salt, so I didnt add any salt in with the other seasonings,) added Garlic Powder, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning to the Pork Rind Mix before dipping the Eggplant slices into Egg, and then into the Rind Mix, I did this just once, but it was easy to pack onto. Also having a pan of Olive Oil just 1/2 thick, and already warm/hot is Key to frying these up, and keeping the Mixture on for an evenly brown. I did a layer of Egg plant, a layer of ground meat, sauce, layer of eggplant, layer of black olives, and a layer of Cheese. It's one of my favorite meals.

I always post more recipes, and daily life on Instagram, Check me out there, instagram.com/greenvics
