Tastings: Melrose Almond with Chia Spread

Upon hearing that I had to give up Peanuts and especially Peanut Butter, I spent some time perusing the aisles of my local Healthy Life store and stumbled upon what would soon be my favourite spread.

The most alkaline of all nuts, almond spread is a good alternative to peanut butter. Rich in Vitamin E - a fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant.

Chia is natures complete superfood. One of the highest plant based source of Omega 3, dietary fibre and protein.

I enjoy it on my toast or on rice and corn crackers.

Recipe: Banana-Berry Smoothie with Maqui Berry Powder, Chia and Flax seeds

I was viewing the Loving Earth website and came across this amazing Banana-Berry Smoothie recipe that is very similar to what I enjoyed at Wray Organics. I will be printing this recipe out and taking it to "Rainbow: Eat and Drink Healthy" which just opened up in Bloomfield St near the arcade and park that leads you towards Woolworths. Enjoy!
