A Family Tradition of Quality

Langers is no newcomer to the juice game. Family-owned and operated since 1960, the company has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, great-tasting juices made from real fruit with no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or additives. Known for their commitment to innovation, Langers continues to evolve with consumer trends, offering delicious options that cater to health-conscious lifestyles—without compromising on taste.

I’ve been a fan of Langers juices for years, but discovering their 5 Calorie Juices has transformed my cocktail-making routine. From mimosas to cosmopolitans, these juices allow for mindful indulgence without compromising on flavor. With health-conscious choices becoming more important than ever—especially with the rise of GLP-1 supplements and weight-loss trends—Langers delivers a refreshing, low-calorie option that fits effortlessly into a balanced lifestyle.

Each serving contains just 5 calories, 2 grams of carbs, and 1 gram of naturally occurring sugar, all while delivering 80% of the daily recommended Vitamin C. So technically, it’s practically a health drink, right? I always joke that I’m just “taking my vitamins” at brunch, and with Langers 5 Calorie Juices, I can say it with a straight face.

There are no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or additives—just pure, fruit-forward flavor. Whether you’re mixing a crisp Paloma, a light and bubbly mimosa, or a vibrant cranberry cocktail, Langers 5 Calorie Juices offer versatility and taste without the sugar overload.

The Fab Four: A Breakdown of Langers 5 Calorie Juices

I received four different juices to sip and savor. Here’s the skinny:

Langers 5 Calorie Pineapple
This tropical gem delivers the sweet, tangy essence of fresh pineapple without the sugar spike. It’s perfect for a Piña Colada, a skinny Mai Tai, or simply splashed into sparkling water for a refreshing twist.

Langers 5 Calorie Cranberry
Tart, bold, and crisp, this juice is an instant upgrade to your cosmopolitan or vodka cranberry. It brings just the right amount of zing without overpowering the cocktail. Bonus: Cranberry juice is known for its health benefits, so you can sip with extra confidence.

Langers 5 Calorie Ruby Red
Grapefruit lovers, rejoice! This bright and citrusy juice is a must for a sugar-free Paloma or a refreshing spritz. It has just enough bite to wake up your taste buds while keeping things light and balanced. This one was my favorite of the bunch.

Langers 5 Calorie Mongo Mango
Mango lovers, this one’s for you! Smooth, luscious, and slightly tropical, it pairs beautifully with tequila for a mango margarita or mixed into a rum punch for a vacation-in-a-glass vibe.

Whether you’re hosting a weekend gathering or simply kicking back at home, Langers 5 Calorie Juices make it easy to mix wellness with flavor.

Cheers to a lighter, brighter brunch season!

Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery Cupcakes, Muffins and Brownies

I headed to my local Weis Markets to pick up 3 packages of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery items to try out for all of you. I picked up a pack of Double Chocolate Brownies, Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream frosting. I found the products in the bakery section of Weis Markets. Look in a big refrigerator/freezer. They had several other varieties that I would love to try in the future.

Our family has 2 members that need to eat gluten-free. The rest of us…no dietary restrictions. In the past when I’ve purchased gluten-free items it meant that the item would have a bland taste and cardboard texture. In all honesty, we really haven’t found any pre-made gluten-free baked goods that we liked until now!!!

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Over the course of 5 days my family enjoyed the Double Chocolate Brownies, Blueberry Muffins and the Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

Seriously, they’re that good!

Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

My 9 year old grandson can only have gluten-free and let me tell you…he was totally smitten with these new goodies! His absolute favorite out of the three were the chocolate cupcakes with the chocolate brownies being in a close second place. My almost 16 year old granddaughter loved the chocolate brownies. My husband and 77 year old mother loved the blueberry muffins. Myself…well, I loved all three of them! Honestely, I couldn’t pick a favorite!
