My Favorite Things

Sing it with me now “Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things….”  such a great movie.  But that’s not what I’m talking about today.

I would like to share with you my top 4 favorite things that I am slightly, or majorly obsessed with right now.  I tend to go through phases of being totally and completely obsessed with things, and they generally revolve around food products.  I love food! more importantly, I love healthy good for you foods! Lately I have been discovering a whole new world of vegan/raw foods which involve tons of amazing superfoods!! As you can tell, I get REALLY excited about this stuff.  I just find it so amazing how so many different natural foods can do so many amazing things for your body.  Now I could really go on for days about that and the correlation that food and nutrition have with health, and the fact that we as a society can reduce the amount of medications one takes with simply changing up their daily diet………… but I’ll save that for another day.

Onto my favorite things!!

1) Navitas Naturals – Specifically the following:

a) Maca

b) Chia Seeds

c) Yacon

d) Mesquite

e) Lucuma

f) Sweet Tooth

2) Amazing Grass – “Amazing Meal” – Specifically the Chocolate and Vanilla Chai flavors

3) Artisana Organic Coconut Butter – While this is definitely a treat since it is so expensive, I guarantee it is so worth it.  You can spread it on toast topped with cacao nibs for a nice afternoon snack or mix it into smoothies (making sure you warm it a bit so it doesn’t clump) or add it into recipes instead of regular nut butter for a nice change up in taste!

4) Coconut Water – I love how when you get back from a run and you drink a glass, you can literally feel yourself becoming re-hydrated as it goes down!! Amazing!

I will be sure to post more new and exciting things as I discover them.  But for right now, those are definitely my top 4.

Do you have any interesting or exciting foods or superfoods that you like? If so, share them!
