Whole Foods Haul

It's one rainy day today even while as I type this. After we had lunch and watched the LEGO MOVIE, which was awesome by the way, we ought to shop for some groceries and other stuff at Whole Foods. And OMG, I checked the receipt, and some of the items were punched twice! FTW! I try not to let that ruin the rest of my day. I'll try to be just like Unikitty who loves to think happy thoughts. *sings* EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! EVERYTHING IS COOL WHEN WE'RE PART OF A TEAM! EVERYTHING IS AWESUUUUUUM! *sings*

Spectrum Essentials Chia Seed [$7.19]
Grown in Mexico, Chia Seed was a diet staple of the Aztecs and Mayans. The Chia Seed's nutrients provided sustained energy during long hunts and had numerous medicinal benefits. Revered by the people, Chia Seed was often used in religious ceremonies which led to its ban by the Spanish during their conquest of the region.

Today we know that Chia seed is a nutritional powerhouse with a lengthy list of health benefits. It is a valuable source of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), an Omega-3 essential fatty acid that help support normal cardiovascular function and fiber which helps support normal functioning of the digestive tract and can have a positive effect on cholesterol. Chia seeds are easily digestible and do not need to be ground. With its versatility and mild, nutty flavor, chia seed is a healthful addition to any diet.

Spectrum Essentials Organic Ground Flaxseed with Mixed Berries [$5.99]
Spectrum Essentials Organic Ground Flaxseed with Mixed Berries combines the best-selling Organic Ground Flaxseed with bits of real fruit including blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries and elderberries. Often referred to as "Super Fruits," these berries are particularly well known for their antioxidant polyphenol levels, making them healthful and tasty. The flaxseeds in this formula are premium quality organic seeds that have been carefully selected for their nutritive content. Each serving delivers 3g of dietary fiber and 3g of protein as well as omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) and SDG lignans.

I am conscious about what I eat so I bought an each. I have tried flaxseeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds before, and I always add them in my food or smoothies to give them a little boost. I am no nutritionist or any health professional, but an average girl who prefers to eat healthy. Not necessarily vegetarian. I still have one of those cheat days, but as much as possible, I opt for something good for my body.

And oh! Also bought three bottles of organic and raw Kombucha ($2.50) in Hibiscus and Bilberry flavor. I forgot to take a picture though. I didn't like the taste, but it was an interesting drink. I still have a bottle left in the fridge. I'd be happy to share it with you. :)

Let me give you a small tip: I always go straight to the Beauty and Health aisle whichever mall or store I go to. It is my number one favorite aisle ever! My family and boyfriend knows this. *slowly nods*

Please let me know if you have tried any of the of the products mentioned.
