Season’s Sardines

Tinned fish has been trending on TikTok and all over social media, and Season is leading the way as the #1 seller of sardines in the US. When it comes to sustainability, deliciousness, and convenience, our tinned boneless skinless sardines are the best and one of the most healthy options out there.

Upgrade your meals with Season’s Sardines and say goodbye to tinned tuna! Why choose sardines over tuna? Here’s why.

Powerful Nutritional Benefits: Our Season Skinless and Boneless Sardine Fillets packed with 1700mg of omega-3 fatty acids per serving—4 times more than light tuna. These essential nutrients improve brain health, boost mood, and balance hormones, giving your body the health boost it deserves.

Low Mercury Content: Sardines are a low-mercury fish, containing 15 times less mercury than tuna. Being near the bottom of the food chain, sardines don’t ingest harmful chemicals and pollutants found in larger fish.

Protein Powerhouse: Sardines are not only incredibly nutritious but also an excellent source of protein, with 22 grams per serving—comparable to a 3.5-ounce serving of tuna. You’ll get all the protein you need without the high levels of cholesterol found in other protein sources like prime sirloin.

Low Sodium Option: Our Skinless & Boneless Sardines are available in water with no salt added, making them perfect for those on salt-restricted diets.

With the introduction of Albacore Tuna, Tonnino is set to capture the hearts and palates of tuna enthusiasts across America, offering a taste that is both familiar and extraordinary with a wholesome choice for discerning consumers.

Tonnino takes pride in sourcing the best and finest tuna cuts available. Its tuna, albacore and yellowfin are responsibly caught in the wild and offer only the freshest slices of underbelly. Each fillet is meticulously hand-filleted and dipped in pure olive oil or water, resulting in a remarkable appearance, taste, and texture. Whether enjoyed straight from the jar or incorporated into a variety of recipes, Tonnino’s Tuna adds a touch of sophistication to every dish, from delicate niçoise salads to classic sandwiches.

Tonnino Albacore Tuna Fillets with Ginger Soy in Olive OilWith pure premium tuna in spring water or olive oil and flavored options with premium ingredient, Tonnino brings to the table a more satisfying and enjoyable eating experience with firmer and meatier texture, enhanced taste, and maximum freshness for a superior nutritional and tasting experience.

Macadamia Nut Milks – Milkadamia

Discover Milkadamia Plant-Based Milks This Summer

New for 2023, the brand just launched Milkadamia Coffee Latte, made from 100% arabica coffee and balanced with smooth macadamia milk, and Milkadamia Milk Tea, a delightful combination of delicious macadamia milk and floral black tea. Talk about refreshing!

Unsweetened – The delicious, milky taste you love without any added sugar.
Unsweetened Vanilla – A smooth and creamy vanilla flavor to help you unplug.
Barista – Subtle and creamy so the coffee notes can really sing for latte artists.
Unsweetened Barista – Froths and foams like a dream, proving you don’t have to be sweet to be loved.

NEW Milkadamia Coffee Latte – Creamy, smooth, balanced, and delicious, made from 100% real arabica coffee for an elevated morning classic.
NEW Milkadamia Milk Tea – An authentic tribute to a global favorite, made with smooth macadamia milk and real black tea.

Milkadamia milks are quickly becoming a must-have for everything from your morning cup of coffee or tea to smoothies, sweet and savory recipes, and more. You can find them at most grocery stores nationwide and many fine coffee shops.

What makes Milkadamia so noteworthy? The raw macadamias come from Milkadamia’s farms, Jindilli (the indigenous word for macadamias), near Australia’s Eastern Coast. The brand is a forerunner in regenerative farming practices (restoring the biodiversity and composition of the soil to yield more nutrients and sequestering carbon to let the Earth breathe easier).

All this has made the global brand a welcome source for vegans and those looking to consume less dairy, turning to nature for nourishment and making dairy-free products more mainstream. Top that off with the fact that macadamias are low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and rich in antioxidants and consumers have all the more reason to try it.

Heart and Soil: The Why Behind the Brand

Supports regenerative farming methods helping keep carbon levels in balance and making mindful choices for the future of the Earth.
Utilizes minimum tilling and cover crops and feeding the soil – it’s dirt done right.
Our macadamias grow on ‘free range trees’ in eastern coast of Australia, where they’re native to – with no artificial irrigation, just abundant rainfall. They’re free range – trees supporting life, not trees on life support (like other irrigation-dependent agriculture).
Promotes low-impact, gentle farming that’s good for trees and soil regeneration.
Makes switching to a plant-based diet easier, flavorful, and nutritious, better for ourselves and the planet.
Encourages the power of our food choices and selecting regeneratively farmed items to allow an abundant future for our planet.
Great as a delicious glass of milk or add to your morning for coffee, favorite smoothies, and baking.
Made from the finest raw, never roasted macadamia nuts for a smooth, easy flavor.
Products are vegan, plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher, and non-GMO certified.
Preserves the subtle flavor, milky creaminess, and health benefits of macadamia nuts into a delicious plant-based milk made with care and flair.
Elevated texture is closer to dairy than any other plant milk.
Conveniently available at Whole Foods, Kroger, Costco, and other fine grocery store retailers nationwide and online, Amazon, Thrive Market and other online grocers.

WakeUp!® your day with BioLift

I have grown to LOVE this beverage and drink it daily around 2 PM ET for a mid-day pick me up 🙂

We’re excited to introduce you to WakeUp!®, the first patented formula designed to harmonize with your body’s biological clock and support focus and concentration throughout the day. This revolutionary beverage is the outcome of a decade of clinical research by InnoBev, an Israeli food-tech company specializing in Chronobiology, the science of time and its effects on living systems.

Chronobiology is the study of how every living organism – including humans – responds to the cycles of the sun and moon. Our internal biological clocks dictate our daily oscillations or circadian rhythms that repeat in cycles throughout the day – for example, sleep-wake cycles and body temperature cycles. WakeUp!® is rooted in this science. Their scientific board and advisors, specializing in Chronobiology, have found a botanical solution for naturally alleviating daytime drowsiness by aligning with these biological rhythms.

WakeUp!® isn’t just another energy drink. It’s a game-changer, improving cognitive performance and focus by up to 20% within minutes without raising heart rate or blood pressure, and without creating tolerance over time. Moreover, it’s formulated with four globally recognized extracts that work in harmony with human biology:

Guarana: Originating from the Amazon forest, Guarana contains Guaranine, a molecule similar to caffeine but released slower in the body (3-6 hours). This makes it more effective than caffeine in mental and physical stimulation without the common drawbacks.

Ginkgo Biloba or Green Tea: Powerful antioxidants that support blood circulation, assisting in delivering oxygen to the body and brain, affecting concentration, mood, fatigue, and response rates.

Elderberry: Known as the “medicinal tree”, Elderberry’s flowers have anti-viral and antioxidant effects, contributing to the proper function of the immune system.

Carob and Apple Extract: These natural, low glycemic sweeteners derived from fruits help manage fatigue by maintaining a constant sugar level, reducing a decline in energy levels for better, longer-lasting physical and mental results.

Make your Irish Coffee with Volcanica Coffee!

We’re too late for Saint Patrick’s Day this year, but it’s never too late to enjoy an Irish Coffee! So try out these tasty recipes.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE

1.5 oz of Irish Whiskey
½ oz of coffee liqueur
½ oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream
2 oz of cooled espresso using Volcanica Coffee’s Café Cubano Miami Espresso Blend

Instructions:

  1. In a shaker glass, pour in your ingredients. Fill with ice and shake until shaker is frosty.
  2. Strain into martini glass.

VOLCANICA COFFEE’S IRISH COFFEE RECIPE

1½ to 2 oz (45 to 60ml) Irish whiskey, to taste
4 oz (120ml) fresh-brewed Dark Roast Costa Rica Nespresso Coffee Pods
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz (60ml) heavy cream, very cold
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill the cups with hot water to warm them up.
  2. Whip the cold cream until thick, but not stiff; it should still be able to run off of a spoon. Set aside. Tip: The key to success for whipped cream is to keep it very cold, so put your whisk and a stainless steel bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before.
  3. Pour the warm water out of the coffee mugs. Fill ¾ full with coffee, add the brown sugar and stir well until dissolved. Add a few drops of coffee into the whipped cream and stir to combine.
  4. Add the whiskey into coffee and stir to combine.
  5. Hold a spoon upside down over the coffee, the tip touching the glass edge and the surface of coffee. Gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon, allowing it to gently pool on top of the coffee; filling to the top of the mug. Do not stir. You should obtain a lovely layering that looks like a pint of Guiness!
  6. Using a stenciled shamrock, sprinkle cocoa powder over the cream to make a beautiful drawing.
