I have the horrible conflict of wanting to be fit and healthy, while also being a foodie who loves to eat. I can eat far more than you might think possible, and while I try to "eat clean" most of the time, I don't always make that mark.
When I don't feel like I'm getting the proper nutrition from the foods I eat, I like to supplement with vitamins, herbs and other good-for-you stuff. I've recently found an awesome product that has become part of my regular supplement arsenal:
Aloha "The Daily Good" packs a powerful amount of nutrition in one small packet. With organic spirulina, spinach, wheatgrass, moringa, blueberries, coconut water and Hawaiian ginger included in it's superfood ingredients list, this little packet does everything it promises and more. It can be mixed into smoothies, or with any juice. I like to mix it with my orange juice in the morning:
It blends easily without a bunch of lumps or sludge (that's my super-cute mini whisk that is great for whipping up smaller items!) and it really tastes good. I don't get the spirulina aftertaste that so many green drinks seem to have.
Best of all, each packet is only 40 calories, so you aren't taking in a lot of unnecessary added calories (I'll save those for important things, like ice cream!)
Aloha also offers a 5-pill supplement pack called "The Foundation", again offering a nutrient rich, whole food, organic supplement that helps optimize energy, memory and beauty. Prices vary depending on the package size you choose. Best of all, they will deliver right to your door!
Not everyone likes supplements or feels like they need them. And maybe some people don't. But for me, living in a world where we fight so many toxins, pesticides, pollution and stress, I find that adding extra good things to my diet is helpful. And we can all use a little more Aloha in our lives!
