We have found this nifty little gadget handy in the boat for cleaning the scum off the hull before putting the boat away for the day. Best part, we can leave it in the boat without worry of mold or other nasty things attaching to it.

We love this dairy-free alternative, made of raw macadamia nuts, on granola, in smoothies, or just straight. The nuts are grown on a family farm in Australia that plants thousands of trees each year helping to reforest areas previously cleared for dairy farming. How cool is that?
Core Power
By Fairlife
MSRP - $36.99 per case
