Who said healthy has to taste bad?? NOT ME!

****EDUCATIONAL POST ALERT****

(#NERDLIFE IS GREAT)

I have been drinking this amazing superfood health shake for 6 years now because I KNOW it is exactly what my body needs and craves DAILY!

It has allowed me to keep my insane junk food cravings in check, help with my immune system, give me energy, help my sugar levels, give me healthy nutrition, help my digestive health, and soooo much more!! EEEKKK Love my chocolate goodies and the cookies and creamy flavor!!

This shake is POWERFUL and DENSE with whole food nutrition (no artificial crap) that it offers such a wide of variety of nutrients that I have to share with you....such as....

**Antioxidants** - Why do you need them?? A number of your body’s vital processes depend on a series of chemical reactions called the oxidation-reduction (redox) cycle. Free radicals are generated by oxidation reactions. Antioxidants inhibit oxidation. When in balance, they’re both good things and necessary for a number of biological processes. Unfortunately, a number of 21st century issues, including lousy diet and stress, can promote free radicals, causing an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant levels. (It has...Camu-Camu, Acerola Cherry, Bilberry, Lycium Berry (Goji Berry), Green Tea, Luo Han Guo, Pomegranate, Rose Hips, Vitamins A, C, E.)

**Protein Blend** - Why do you need it? Protein is made up of amino acids, the body’s primary building blocks. Muscles, bones, skin, internal organs—and much more—are all made of amino acids. What’s more, we’re in a constant state of breaking all these things down and rebuilding them. Long story short, we’re made of protein and therefore we need to consume it to stay healthy. This blend is formulated with a variety of quality protein sources. (It has...Whey Pea, Sacha, Inchi, Chia, Flax, Quinoa)

**Phytonutrients** - Why do you need them?? Phytonutrients are substances distinct to plants that also happen to benefit the animals that eat them (including us). They’re also what give fruits and veggies their various colors, thus the saying, “Eat the rainbow.” The nutrition science community has been gaga over phytonutrients for years, as new studies come out almost daily—most demonstrating how they help support human health and vitality. While we still recommend you eat your veggies, this blend will give you a phytonutrient leg up. (It has...Moringa, Chlorella, Spirulina, Spinach, Kale.)

**Adaptogens** - Why do you need them? Adaptogens are just what they sound like: substances that have traditionally been used to help the body adapt and respond to the effects of stress—and they’ve been being used by cultures across the planet for centuries. (It has...Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Cordyceps, Maca, Maitake, Reishi, Schisandra.)

**Pre and probiotics & digestive enzymes** - Why do you need them? Your intestines are loaded with bacteria—and much of it is hugely beneficial in a number of ways, including helping properly break down food and creating important nutrients like short-chain fatty acids.

Probiotics such as Bacillus coagulans are digestible forms of these beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics, including yacon root and chicory root, act as food for these important little critters. Consuming a combination of the two can help support the biome in your belly, therefore supporting a healthy digestive system.

Enzymes are catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions. Digestive enzymes, in particular, break down the food you eat, therefore helping with nutrient absorption. Amylase, for example, breaks down carbohydrates.

**(Fun fact: your saliva contains amylase so the digestive process actually begins the moment you start chewing.) Lactase breaks down dairy. Anything in THIS SHAKE with an “ase” at the end of it is an enzyme. (It has...Yacon Root, Chicory Root, Bacillus coagulans , Amylase, Cellulase, Lactase, Glucoamylase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Invertase.)

Now that you are up to date on WHY I drink and consume this superhero shake as I like to call it, I just wonder what it could do for you?
