I got the Raw Greens powder from our Doctor's office, but the rest was from that site I emailed you about. The little Orange packages are the sample packs for $2.50 so we could try them out before spending close to $20/pound for each. We got samples of Maca Powder, Cacao Nibs, and dried Goji berries, and a pound each of cacao powder and bee pollen.
Question for Emily or anyone else: What do you think about giving Maca Powder and other superfoods to kids? I have only read the beginning of "Superfoods" by David Wolfe and I've just done some internet research. I'll still do my own research, but I wanted to know what you thought. Some people think you shouldn't give it to kids, but there's no hormones in it, it just helps your body regulate hormones better, so I don't see what the harm is, but maybe I'm ignorant?
I started thinking about it, though, because she had a lot of my Happy Shake yesterday and she was an energizer bunny all day long. I mean, she didn't even have any dips in energy, or tired moments all day long, to say nothing of not taking a nap. Maybe it was something else, but I thought there might be a correlation and I got to wondering.
I have to say that I don't know much about superfoods yet, but I think that if kids can have as much energy as they do on a crappy diet, just think how they'd feel on a super-nutritional diet. I know I have more energy when eating better, it makes sense that she would be bouncing off the walls!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, this looks great! I haven't tried a lot of the really expensive stuff yet....jealous!!!
yummy! I have all of these things. I order them on the site I posted. I have some really good recipes for these things. I will have to post them soon.
ReplyDeleteMy kids eat super foods. Just like you they need to ease into it. I think it is one things when your body stats to detox and when a child's body goes through a detox.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started to eat super foods I went through a three week detox. The first week I felt like I was on drugs. I had to much energy and had constant butterflies in my stomach. The next week I was so sleepy.I was in bed by 8:30 pm and could hardly exercise. The next week I was super emotional and had a headache.
Every now and then I go through a one or two day detox. It will just happen and I am now aware of it. Usually it is not as crazy as my three week detox. I did not even know what was going on until it was almost over. I will have to use the bathroom a lot and I feel extra emoitional but it is nothing bad. I know what is going on with my body so it is great. Your body needs a detox.
My kids eat super foods every day. I make chocolate all the time (made only from super foods), raw cookies and smoothies that are packed with super foods and they are just fine. Their poop is some times a little different when they eat a lot of super foods but that is due to internal cleaning. I love it!!!
Does this answer your question?
Good luck and enjoy your new health:)
