With the craziness of life, it can sometimes be hard to make sure that you’re eating 3 balanced meals a day. It’s a nice idea for sure, but it can’t always be done.

So here are a few things to help you get through the day – and on to better health!

Salba

They call it “Nature’s most powerful whole food,” so you know it packs a healthy punch!

This ancient grain has the richest source of Omega 3’s found in nature. It is gluten-free and it has 7 times more vitamin C than an orange! It has a ton of calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium and is filled with antioxidants. It contains disease-fighting proteins and has more beneficial fiber than any other natural source.

You can buy it whole or ground and sprinkle it on cereal and salads. Mix it into pastas and stews. Blend it into your morning smoothie or get Salba’s Krispy Rice, Flats and Breadsticks and see your energy increase and your body begin to feel good!

It’s just a small thing to do everyday, but the benefits will be great!

Vega Whole Good Smoothie Infusion

Chances are your smoothies are good, but could be better.

This Smoothie Infusion gives you raw, organic superfoods in each serving. If you’re skeptical about how much more it can improve your drink, check this out. It provides:

more protein than 2 large eggs
more fiber than 2 slices of whole wheat bread
more Omega 3 than 6 oz of wild salmon

Here are the ingredients:

Yellow pea protein, organic hemp protein, organic sprouted flax seeds, organic brown rice protein, organic green food blend (spirulina, organic wheat grass, organic alfalfa grass, organic barley grass, organic spinach, organic sprouted broccoli, organic kale, organic kelp, organic dulse), inulin (from chicory root), natural flavors, xanthan gum.

Doesn't that sound good?

Just a few spoonfuls every morning will have you feeling like you’ve just got your batteries charged. And don’t worry - it won’t make your strawberry smoothie taste all grassy.

You’re going to love this stuff!

Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass Drink Powder

All you need to do is mix 1 tablespoon of this into your juice, water or smoothie and this concentrated food source has everything you could need for more energy and better health – beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber, iron, protein, vitamins K, C, B-12, B-6, folic acid, trace minerals and contains all essential amino acids.

I like it just in a small glass on its own. It’s a really intense shot of green, but boy does it make me feel alive!

Also be sure to try their Green SuperFood Drink Powder, which is pretty yummy, and and Superfood for Kids – in Chocolate, which my neighbour Darren, whose in his thirties can’t get enough of!
