The SB Hot List: 11 Items We Can’t Live Without
Homemade Granola
“Homemade granola recently became a craving I didn’t know I had. This easy 20-minute paleo granola recipe from Rachael DeVaux is so delicious. It does include a lot of ingredients, but you can make modifications based on your nut preferences. Fair warning, a KEY step is to refrigerate it after baking and cooling it — that’s how it becomes more clustery. I make many jars at one time and it lasts longer. I eat it with yogurt, almond milk and by the fistful.” — Peyton Haecker, SB Digital Marketing Analyst
This homemade granola recipe is perfect for breakfast or a midday snack.
Veggie Chik’n Nuggets
“No Chick-fil-a? No problem. These chicken nuggets are SO good, full of protein and easy to make. They’re my new favorite lunch item. Also, they’re $3.49 … so cheap!” — Katelyn Caughron, SB Memphis Customer Success Representative

YETI Rambler with Chug Cap
“I typically always have a water bottle with me, and I feel like I’ve tried just about every type of water bottle out there. But I recently discovered the YETI Rambler with the Chug top. This one component solves two of my biggest problems with most other water bottles: ease of cleaning and the splash factor. The Chug lid has two screw closures — one with a wide opening for easy filling and cleaning, and the second one that screws into the first that has a small mouth spout so you can easily drink without splashing water all over your face. It has all of the beloved YETI features, too — insulated, durable, an easy-carry handle … it’s my new favorite water bottle.” — Ashley Haugen, SB Director of Editorial

The Water Cream by Tatcha
“I am LOVING The Water Cream by Tatcha. I received it as a sample and stretched it for as long as I could before purchasing the full size. It feels silky smooth and doesn’t leave my already oily skin looking too dewy. It magically minimizes the look of pores and helps makeup set flawlessly … all while hydrating the skin. I would recommend this for all skin types!” — Taylor Justice, SB Birmingham Customer Success Representative

“Selling Sunset”
“I’m a little late to the game, but I have been obsessed with ‘Selling Sunset’ on Netflix. I’m typically not a huge reality television fan, but this show is addictive. It follows the lives of nine Los Angeles real estate agents, and I like to think of it as the more luxurious, drama-filled version of ‘House Hunters.’ It’s definitely ridiculous at times, but it’s also extremely binge-worthy.” — Brianna Goebel, Editorial Assistant

Suja Organic Cold-Pressed Lemon Love Drink
“I love the Suja Organic Cold-Pressed Lemon Love drink. I’ve turned my whole family onto them, and when I find them on sale, I stock up! These quench thirst, ward off hunger and just make you feel really good. Lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper, and stevia … oh, and it’s just 10 calories! You can find them at most grocery stores.” — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder

ChooMee SoftSip Food Pouch Tops
“This is for all the mamas out there. If your babe loves food pouches, I’ve found these little silicone tops that are SO much better than the tops that are built into the pouches. First off, it seems like the built-in top is just too hard for little guys like mine (7 months) to eat directly from, and if he squeezes the pouch, food is EVERYWHERE! These silicone tops have a small slit in them so babies can eat directly from the pouch comfortably, and the design also prevents the puree from coming out if the pouch is squeezed. They even have a lid attached so you don’t lose it, and they come in cute tie-dye colors. WIN, WIN, WIN!” — Lauren Cummings, SB Business Coordinator

HelloFresh
“HelloFresh has changed my life the past two months. I don’t know what I did before it. It’s great for two to four people or just one person to have a tasty lunch the next day. I have gifted it to my parents and my brother and his girlfriend. Every recipe is packed with flavor, easy to follow, and actually teaches you something about cooking along the way. Nothing is wasted, and the clean up is easy! I want to scream from the rooftops I love it so much! (Disclaimer: I haven’t tried any other meal kit services.)” — Zoe Yarborough, SB Staff Writer

RUFFLES Double Crunch Hot Wing Chips
“I’m obsessed with RUFFLES Double Crunch Hot Wing chips … perhaps a little too obsessed. They’re supremely addicting; consider this fair warning! Dipping them in ranch has become my favorite afternoon snack of late, as it’s the perfect accompaniment to balance out the deliciously fiery flavor.” — Jenna Bratcher, SB Nashville Lead Writer & Associate Editor
