Drink Your Salad

Drink Your Salad

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We love vegetable juice. We’re those people you see sipping from a bottle of a green juice while running errands, cooling off after an intense Vinyasa class, and scrolling though emails at work. What don’t we love about some juices? The added sugar and unpronounceable ingredients that plague so many juices! We also don’t like it when companies show you a “green juice” thats actually loaded with fruits and barely has any veggies! Luckily, SaladPower avoids all that bad stuff- they sell the world’s first drinkable salad & they always put nutrient dense superfoods first. Here’s six reasons why you’ll be drinking your salad:

1.) 100% Natural, 100% Non-GMO Certified Ingredients: No funky preservatives,  artificial flavors, or added sugar in this bottle! Just pure veggie goodness.

2.) Drink your veggies: Every bottle of Salad Power contains a nutrient dense, superfood blend of Kale, Carrot, Spinach, Tomato, Bell Pepper, Celery and Cucumber! This superfood blend is always the first ingredient in every flavor – this keeps their flavors vitamin rich and low in calories & sugar!

3.) Four Delicious Flavors: Choose from classic Just Veggies, or if you crave a little fruit try +Apple, +Pineapple, or +Mango!

Enerchi Bites is re-defining the energy bar. How often to you actually eat the whole bar?

Twin sisters, and co-founding duo, Annie and Marla, solved the problem of having to break off a piece and made it easy for you to have a couple bites and or share with a friend.

They also only the added good stuff to their products–superfoods like chia seeds and hemp seed protein, and real-food ingredients like organic unsulphured apple rings and sunflower seeds. Each ingredient adds value to the nutritional and taste profile.

Enerchi bites are free of soy, dairy, and nuts! All the bites are soft and chewable (imagine cookie dough texture) so they are kid-friendly and pre-molar teeth friendly. Now, you don’t have to hesitate to give them to your kids or include them in their school lunch boxes. Enerchi bites are the perfect mid-day snack, giving you not just an opportunity to re-fuel your body, but to also re-fuel your mind. Their zen logo represents the symbol of chi.

It symbolizes and reminds you to take a breath, and a moment to yourself to reflect, munch mindfully, and then voila, the chi, also known as, “vital energy” will flow through you with less effort, and more ease.
