One of my favorite weekly things to do around my neighborhood is to visit my local health food stores. I love looking at all the new products and talking to the awesome people who work there. I always learn something new! I recently discovered a local health store gem that I’d never noticed before! Mothers Herbs & Vitamins is a diamond in the rough located on a small side street in North Vancouver, BC. I finally noticed this health food store oasis and ordered one of their incredible organic smoothies. Wow, are they delicious, enormous (a meal!), organic AND healthy! I always order their infamous smoothie “The Works”.
Here’s what’s in this tasty shake:
- Apple
- Bananas
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Dates
- Figs
- Kefir (I just learnt about Kefir – enzyme-rich yoghurt-type food that is great for boosting your immunity and increasing your daily energy)
- Flax Seed
- Green Tea
- Chlorella
- Vega (plant based super food)
Katelin and Frank, store owners, are full of health information too. They have great advice on any question you may have. I always take lots of notes after I leave so I can run home and blog!
I stop by at least once a week for my “Works Fix” and to check out the latest products.
So just a reminder to keep your eyes open for these ‘sometimes hidden’ health gems!
To YOUR health,
Kim
