Anytime Snack:
Nuts are loaded with good fats for heart health, fiber, and protein to fill that snacking void anytime. The American Heart Association recommends eating about four servings of unsalted nuts a week. Choose sprouted nuts rather than nuts cooked in oil. One serving is a small handful (1.5 ounces) of whole nuts.
Dried Fruit
Dried fruit is a versatile snack that you can take hiking, on trips, pre or post workout to provide slow burning energy without the crash and to replace glycogen stores post workout to help muscles recover. One serving is good pre, post, or as an anytime healthy snack option. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and are just the fruit from tree to dehydrator to bag.

Go Green
Go green is a great pre workout mix. It provides the energy from matcha, spirulina, and chlorella to sustain exercise, along with 12 other superfoods to ward off inflammation and help repair cells and tissue broken down during exercise. It is also a great way to start your day and get you going. It is better than juicing and much better rounded in its profile, not to mention the 1 scoop convenience aspect.
Go Pre-Workout
Although it is named pre workout, the health benefits of this mix cannot be understated. As a pre workout, beetroot contains natural nitrous oxide which is a vasodilator and helps with optimal blood flow and bringing oxygen to the muscles. Matcha is loaded with energy sustaining compounds without the caffeine speed and crash. A normal serving of matcha contains less caffeine than coffee, around 40-50 mg compared with coffee's 100 mg. But the caffeine effects last longer because when combined with L-theanine (which naturally occurs in matcha), it's slowly released throughout the body without the speed effect or the tingling effect. Ashwagandha is a root that being a powerful adaptogen, it enhances the body's resilience to stress. Great for pre workout but overall health also. Try it instead of coffee.
Go Gold

All the whole food ingredients were chosen for their ability to absorb free radicals that damage cells. ORAC unit (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), ORAC value, or ORAC score is a method developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health and Aging (NIH) to measure the antioxidant capacity of different foods.
Go Pro
Our Go pro is multidimensional, unlike other proteins. It can be taken during the day, at night or post workout. Harvard studies show that after age 30, you begin to lose as much as 3-5% of muscle mass per decade. Less muscle mass means greater weakness and less mobility. Our bodies need good quality protein supplementation not only post workout but throughout the day. Our Go Pro not only contains a complete amino acid profile but contains inulin (a probiotic to help foster good gut health and digestion), and maca and ashwagandha (adaptogens to help the body cope with stress). If you exercise, you should aim toward .08 grams to 1.25 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and if you do not exercise, .05 to .75 grams per pound of bodyweight.
Golden Milk

It contains 500m mg of curcumin in addition to Ceylon cinnamon (which helps control blood pressure). The combination of all the ingredients mixed with warm almond, flax, hemp, or oat milk tastes great and has the effect of you waking you up feeling renewed without the melatonin hangover or other sleep aid negative side effects.
