Inspired by relaxing afternoons spent in Italy, I’m sharing the perfect Mediterranean Inspired Summer Snack and Beverage pairing.

Creating Summer Memories

Last summer, Dan and I were lucky enough to spend a week in Tuscany. It was definitely a trip for the memory books. 

What I remember most (besides the amazing food and wine), was the pure contentment that everyone had just living in the moment. Afternoons were spent enjoying the fresh air, typically with a simple snack and an ice cold beverage. People just enjoyed talking to each other and relaxing. Nothing fancy or complicated.

This summer, I want to recreate those relaxing afternoons at my own home. Afternoons spent outside with a good book, a little sunshine and an easy, mediterranean inspired summer snack. 

Lighter & Brighter Moments Anywhere

Summer always has me searching for the perfect poolside beverage. Something more exciting than plain old water, but nothing too heavy or filled with added sugars like soda. 

That’s why I’m excited to share SANPELLEGRINO® Momenti – a new low calorie, sparkling fruit drink that is a great alternative to soft drinks. 

SANPELLEGRINO Momenti comes in three, vibrant and surprising flavors –

• Clementine & Peach
• Pomegranate & Blackcurrant
• Lemon & Red Raspberry

Each flavor is only 35 calories per can and made with a wonderful blend of real juice and carbonated water. I love that they don’t contain any artificial sweeteners. Just a refreshing, bubbly, and tasty Mediterranean citrus mix to create brighter moments anytime, anywhere you choose. Like poolside in your own backyard on a Tuesday. 

A Simple Summer Snack

To keep things relaxing and stress free, I created a simple, mediterranean inspired summer snack (recipe below) to pair with my SANPELLEGRINO Momenti. 

The best part is – I simply had to make a quick trip to my local Walmart to pick up all the necessary ingredients. There is nothing worse than having to make multiple stops on a hot summer afternoon. That’s why I’m so excited that Walmart now carries the new SANPELLEGRINO Momenti beverages. 

I was so excited to try the Clementine & Peach flavor that I ordered a case via the Walmart Online Grocery option. With a few simple clicks, my order was ready for pick up at my local Walmart. Saving me time and multiple stops. 

While I was at Walmart, I picked up a fresh cantaloupe and pack of thinly sliced prosciutto to make my summer snack. 

Prosciutto and Basil Cantaloupe Bites

This summer snack was inspired by our trip to Italy and pairs perfectly with SANPELLEGRINO Momenti. 

The combination of the fresh cantaloupe, slightly salty prosciutto and earthy basil makes the best little bite!

Simply peel the cantaloupe and cut into cubes. 

Top each cantaloupe piece with a piece of fresh basil and prosciutto. 

Drizzle the entire plate with olive oil and viola, you are ready to relax.
