Mushrooms are Magic
You don’t have to be a mycologist to have caught the recent buzz about mushrooms. Infused in teas, elixirs, supplements and snacks, mushrooms are an age-old new superfood. Depending on what type, they are powerful antioxidants (chaga), brain food (lion’s mane) and skin beautifiers (chaga). Packed with nutrients like vitamins D and B, selenium, potassium, zinc, copper and fiber, mushrooms, in all forms, also have anti-inflammatory properties. And, they are delicious!

Satisfying and Sugar-Free
When you love chocolate as much as I do, and decide to go off sugar for a while, like I did, it can be a challenge to satisfy the craving. But then I discovered Choc Zero, and all was well in my sugar-free world! Sweetened with monk fruit, it is non-GMO, gluten-free, sugar-free, made with Fair Trade cocoa beans from South America, and, most of all, it tastes good. Choc Zero comes in 50 and 70 percent dark chocolate, and each bag contains 10 squares. choczero.com
