Grrreat day

WowwoooOOOOoooowW! I came back home from practice today and guess what was waiting there in front of my door? Yep, my Super Foods. There was also package from Finland that my parents sent me...some finnish candies, salty licorice, chocolate, tabloid magazine called 7-paivaa(good stuff;) and a letter from them. It was a surprise but it's always nice to have stuff from home, and to be honest I've been missing my salty licorice... stuff that you can't find from here:(

Anyway, here's what I got today:

Spirulina

- GREAT source of protein, to rebuild muscle, balance our blood sugar, and heal our bones

Goji Berries

- fortify immune system, uplifts mood, increase optimism, improve appetite, encourage better sleep patterns

Cacao Nibs

- one of the most popular Super Foods out there

ent

- i recommend to check the website for more details

Coconut Oil/Butter

- one should cook with coconut oil instead of olive oil or butter--> coconut oil is more stable under heat and never forms toxic trans-fatty acids

Well that's it! Long list but I tried to make brief introduction to all of them. I really recommend the check each of those products for more details, because couple lines is just not enough the explain how these products help you to achieve better health.

I also prepared myself a delicious dinner, including some Supers.

Have to say that it was pretty fulfilling even thought I ate half of my pasta. All the salad ingredients were organic bought from Wal-Mart (Yes, they have organic foods there). But in the future I'm going to by my organic foods from the Farmer's Market, which I'm planning to go next saturday with couple of my friends. Right now I'm drinking my Cacao/Banana/Maca smoothie and feeling pretty damn good even thought it's getting late and I should go to bed soon. In the end, the meal was SUPER and I don't know if I've ever been so excited about cooking haha.

Here's what I did:

Salad

-tomatoes

-cucumber

-lettuce

-hemp seeds

-goji berries

-almonds

Pasta with ground beef, cooked with coconut oil and sea salt for taste.

I put MSM into my orange juice, because MSM works particularly well with vitamin-C.

Dessert

-1 banana

-2 tbs of Cacao nibs

-1 tsp of Maca

-2 glasses or organic milk

-1 tsp of the healing honey

In the end, what a great day! I got the super foods, package from home, had a good workout, had a great conversation with my buddy trough Skype today, talk to my parents, and lot of other small things.

I'm gonna keep boosting my mood by finishing this smoothie, and listening some crazy beats!

I hope you had a great day as well!
