There’s nothing like a new season to encourage us to take better care of our bodies, and we’ve pulled together five healthy additions to your pantry to ring in Autumn. From hidden supergreens to gut-mending cleanses, this roundup has you set for a diet transformation.
Sun Chlorella
We’re all about sneaking hidden nutrients into our meals, and our recent favorite has got to be Sun Chlorella Udon Noodles. These delicious noodles are made with chlorella, a single cell, freshwater green algae full of nutrients. Chlorella has fiber to detox, beta-carotene to shield the body from free radicals, and essential amino and fatty acids to boost energy. It is packed with a unique Chlorella Growth Factor, a complex rich in nucleic acids that revitalize the body through cellular renewal and repair. Chlorella is also an excellent source of protein, making these noodles a nutritious option for a meal that is as filling as it is colorful. Sun Chlorella transforms your ordinary bowl of noodles into a delicious superfood infused with health benefits galore — the perfect simple swap to take your nutrition to new levels.
R’s Koso
This article wouldn’t be complete without some form of cleanse, and I recently had the opportunity to try a cleanse with a holistic brand R’s KOSO. Koso is a traditional fermented drink native to Japan, rich in enzymes to aid digestion and gut health. R’s Koso is made from over 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables as well as crucial probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. It is a concentrated liquid that can be mixed with water or seltzerIt can be used daily for symptom management, or as a multi-day cleanse. Depending on your wellness goals, R’s KOSO offers a variety of cleanse plans. I chose the breakfast cleanse, replacing my breakfasts with one serving of R’s KOSO for two weeks — but more intensive options include up to three days with up to five servings per day. I found significant improvement to my digestive system and gut symptoms after only a few days, and found that I didn’t have any appetite issues when skipping a meal for the drink. It has a lightly fermented plum taste, a refreshing alternative to some of the hard-to-stomach drinkable supplements on the market. I’d certainly recommend R’s KOSO for quick detoxes or daily symptom maintenance alike!
Jessica’s Natural Foods
It can be hard to find gluten-free options that rival their gluten-full counterparts, but I was seriously impressed when I tried Jessica’s Natural Foods’ all-natural gluten-free granola. Made with certified gluten-free oats, this granola has the perfect crunch and crumble, in a variety of delicious flavors — chocolate chip, almond cherry, vanilla maple, and many more. The granola is baked to the perfect texture, and I never would have known that it was made without gluten. These flavors are packed with all-natural non-GMO ingredients you can get behind, like ground flax, coconut, and honey. With no trans fat, cholesterol, or highly refined sweeteners, Jessica’s Natural Foods’ granolas are the perfect guilt-free addition to your pantry, whether you’re including them as part of a healthy breakfast or just as a snack.
Quantum Energy Squares
For a protein- and nutrient-packed option on the go, we’re obsessed with Quantum Energy Squares. With 10 grams of protein and 100 milligrams of all-natural caffeine, these deceptively compact bars are the perfect option for quick energy in a pinch without any jitters or crashes. Quantum’s bars are gluten free, plant-based, and non-GMO verified, and made with all-natural whole food ingredients like dates, nuts, and tapioca for the perfect texture and flavor. They come in a variety of delicious flavors, from Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate to Caramel Almond Sea Salt. With clean ingredients you can feel good about and a hearty punch of protein and caffeine, these are the perfect mid-day energy boost, especially when you’re on-the-go.
Liko Lehua
This round-up wouldn’t be complete without a little all-natural indulgence, and Liko Lehua is just that. Their collection of gourmet fruit butters bring the essence of Hawai’i straight to your cupboard — choose from exotic flavors like passionfruit, guava, pineapple and many more. Liko Lehua’s spreads transport you to the islands, boasting all-natural and fresh ingredients straight from the company’s family farm in Hilo, Hawai’i. The brand is 100% family owned and operated, and has been in business for over 25 years, With less fat than regular butter — and a thousand times the flavor — these spreads are the perfect alternative for your morning toast. But with their bright sweetness and indulgently smooth texture, Liko Lehua’s fruit butters also make the perfect guilt-free dessert. Add them to ice cream for the ultimate indulgence, enjoy on bread if you’re looking for something lighter — or even get creative and add them to a mixed drink. With ingredients we can get behind and a taste we love, Liko Lehua’s fruit butters are the perfect choice to bring a touch of the tropics to your pantry.
