Thursday afternoons are always a tease. Reaching the weekend, but not close enough. After a restless night's sleep and a gray day in San Diego, a pick me up was just what I needed. What better way to brighten your day then enjoy a delicious snack and read about how much of a badass you are? I highly recommend You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero, to anyone looking for a little self love. I quote the best reminder of every chapter : "Love Yourself - Right now, wherever you're at."
Now for the delicious part - the snack game. I am skeptical of most nut butters on the market now. There are many that claim "natural" with no ingredient base to back it up. My advice? Look for the real keywords - raw and unprocessed. Stay clear of words like "organic" and "low fat." These are usually just substitutions that can do more harm than good. My pick this week is Raw Mio's Superfood Spread.
The ingredient list - raw almonds, raw goji berries, raw chia seeds, raw hemp seeds, coconut sugar, and pink sea salt aka nothing but the good stuff. The taste is unique - a consistency similar to an almond butter, with hints of berry and chia seeds. Today I decided to spread it lightly on a banana. The product is vegan friendly and low in saturated fat, but too many spoonfuls can pack on the calories. I stick to a spoonful or two per banana.
Where can you find these?
