| BRASSICA COFFEE All-Natural Dark Roast is amped up with a powerful 15 mgs of trubroc glucoraphinan from broccoli-in each K-Cup. Impressively, the research on this anti-oxidant shows it boosts the bodies' natural defenses against pollution and scavenger free radicals- triggering an on-going anti-oxidant activity. The All-Natural Dark Roast version- is a blend of French roasted Central American, South American and African Arabica coffees. Taste wise-it's just like the regular ole' coffee we've had from most non-organic K®-cups...so no surprises -add what ever one usually does...notably-single serve is very handy. |

| V-Grits started with an amazing concept-take 'traditional' southern foods-make them healthier-less all the saturated fat and artificial ingredients-PLUS vegan, plant protein based-and healthy-while delivering on flavor and texture=Southern Fried Compassion. We tried the creamy delicious Pimento Cashew Spread-truly like the classic cream cheese based - great as a dip or spread...though we ate with our sample with spoon. There's also a Mozzarella Soul Sauce -wonderful on veggies-or as a pizza topping and a Mild Cheddar Soul Sauce-both worthy alternatives to their dairy based counter parts. Available online soon...and there's also a subscription V-Grits meal delivery service-with 3 hearty delicious entree choices per week-shipped by UPS and packed in 100% compostable insulation- with ice cold packs keep it cool for 12 hours... |

| We are already on board with the accolades for Safe Catch Tuna (read here) and as long distance endurance athletes-who bring they own food to races (at least to eat before the event)-we are always looking for convenience-portability of healthy eats able to fulfill the protein requirements that we need to be competitive. SO these new to the market Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna- 3 oz pouches (TSA friendly) of the most premium purest wild tuna (Skipjack)-with a mercury limit that is 10x stricter than FDA levels (!!!) are so perfect. And amazingly-because Safe Catch actually tests every wild fish caught for mercury levels-one can actually eat this lean protein - OMEGA-3 low calorie (2oz serving=60 calories-14 grams of protein, fyi) packed fish all the time without worrying about the horrible health implications (impact on your finishing times) of mercury poisoning. Taste wise-just as fresh flaky and juicy as the hand packed Safe Catch Elite Tuna from the can that we tried...moist and no weird metallic taste -and with no additive fillers, non-GMO, sustainably caught, dolphin safe-plus pouch is BPA free. Available October-online in packets of 12 (est price $2.99 per)...the Safe Catch pouches would actually be a subscription service something that we actually want....though chances are-retail stores will carry the pouches alongside Safe Catch's canned options -including Wild Albacore. |
