February 20, 2012

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning My Beautiful Readers!!!

<Sigh> ... To give you a visual, I am still in bed, listening to Bach- (must concentrate)-while I turn out another delicious and NUTRITIOUS blog post for y'all! Heck, I even took a photo of myself so you can really see where Mrs. Daily D is coming from today wink

HeIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIo Kittens!

Alrighty now, there is no time to waste! 'Tis the time to introduce my Two MOST FAVORITE 

SUPERFOODS!!!


But, before I go ahead an launch into My faves, it's important that I define "Superfoods" for ya, because I know there is, at least some confusion and fogginess swirling around the idea.

So, listen up, Buttercups!

su·per·food / ˈsoōpərˌfoōd/

• n. (not in technical use) a natural food regarded as especially beneficial because of its nutrient profile or its health-protecting qualities.

Translation: A natural WHOLE food that is jammed with NUTRIENTS! Specifically, phyto-nutrients-(give plants & fruits deep dark colors), and micro-nutrients (nutrients the body needs, but cannot produce itself).

Superfoods can range anywhere from super nutritious fish, like wild-caught salmon, but primarily consist of plant-based, produce like acaí, pomegranate, blueberries, kale, etc.

BUT... 

I'm going to share two that aren't as talked about, and that usually prompt head-scratching... So, you too, can begin to enjoy and reap the outrageous benefits of these AH-MAZING Superfood Gems!

  • Raw Cacao Nibs, and Powder: Cacao is chocolate in it's raw, unprocessed, au natural, form! Benefits of raw cacao are HUGE, in comparison to processed chocolate, because it's considered a living food, and thus, still has it's enzymes-(aids body with digestion, and promotes proper functioning of all cells in body)....Well that's fabulous and all, by why, you wonder is cacao/chocolate so great for us?!?! Well, it's packed with THE MOST antioxidant-flavanoids than any other food tested so far - including blueberries, green & black teas, and red wine!

 

So how can YOU use this deliciousness?!?! Well, you might have remembered me jingling off 'cacao powder and nibs' as ingredients in my beloved "Banana Blends' Vlog --> http://bit.ly/x4duv3 But, if you don't, no sweat! As a refresher, it's basically a shake! So I especially LOVE to use cacao powder and nibs in my shakes and smoothies! (so I can benefit from the raw properties) But, I also add the nibs to oatmeal, and sprinkle them on celery and peanut butter, which is AH-MAZE! And you can use them for baking, cooking, etc.! It's divine any way you cut it, Bunnies! ...Moving on...

  • Maca Powder: Maca is a SUPER root that grows 10,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains (Perú). It has a very distinct smell/taste, and becomes addicting the more often you eat it! It has  actually been used for centuries by Native American holistic healers to do the following: enhance libido, and fertility in both men and women. Increase energy, stamina, and endurance (great for athletic performance!). Improve mental clarity, focus, and eyesight. Promotes faster muscle recovery, and boosts metabolism and immune system. It also helps treat PMS for ladies! I mean, what doesn't Maca do?!?! With just 1 teaspoon a day, it can make the world a difference for you! Again, I love to enjoy mine in my Banana Blend shakes, and smoothies, but they recommend you take it with juice (fresh pressed) and or coffee.

What are you waiting for?! NOW is the time to get your bod & mind SUPA-DUPA-FLY with these kinda-secret SUPERFOODS! You can order them: 

  • Online, I love Go Hunza --> http://www.gohunza.com/index.php 
  • In stores --> Whole Foods, Mother's Markets, any other health food grocery store should have it!  

That's all my juice for today, Lovers! It's time to get this (now pancake) booty OUT of bed, and off POWER WALKING outside in beauuuuuuutiful , sun-shiny, CALIFORNIA! cool
