Yep, with me being off this Friday I am really in Wednesday world! I am so happy about this. I cant wait. A part of me is excited and the other part of me is nervous. With me doing the flowers, hair and make-up for the wedding I am starting to really feel the pressure. I just have to tell myself though that I am doing this for free so if it is not perfect, so be it! I just want to see some friends that I haven't in a while and see my best friend get married. I know that a tear or two will be shed for sure. I am a dork like that. I have something special to write about for you all to read this morning. That's right folks! I am doing a review first thing!
Yesterday it was HOT. I got home and I found a package! It was from Tropical Traditions. It was my new product to try! I was so glad that it arrived because a smoothie is just what I wanted.

The importance of ORAC value in fruits and vegetables: The ORAC values help in determining which fruit and vegetables have greater antioxidant power and are better at protecting the body from free radical damage to the cells. Free radicals are molecules that harm healthy body cells.*

Ingredients:
Certified Organic Flax Seed BlendNEW2600mg Organic Flax & Organic Flax Lignans per serving, rich in ALA Omega 3. Our Organic Flax seed is RCM (Real Cold Milled) Flax™. It is no secret that standard milling or grinding of flax has produced a product that usually spoils rapidly. There are two main reasons conventionally milled flax spoils or oxidizes so rapidly. First of all, the conventional milling process creates temperatures that are too high. Several processors use the words "cold milled" to describe product but studied closely, their product almost always heats up during the milling or grinding process. Second of all, the conventional processing actually liberates or expels oil that coats the ground particles creating a substantial increase in the surface area of the milled flax. The high temperatures and oil coated particles alone or in combination produce a product that turns rancid or oxidizes in a relatively short period of time. RCM Flax™ is truly a cold milled product and process. The flax enters the RCM process at room temperature, is milled at room temperature and it exits at room temperature. Furthermore, this proprietary milling method does not grind, crush or liberate oil like other processes, making Antioxidant Natural Greens very unique. Tests have shown that RCM Flax™ maintains a very high peroxide value and a very long shelf life for up to two years!
Flax Lignans are phytonutrients found in the flax seed hull which include SDG (Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside). Antioxidant Natural Greens contain only pure, mechanically separated organic flax lignans. Studies indicate these lignans have tremendous health benefits which help boost the immune system. It has also been concluded that these lignans act as anti-oxidants which further enhance immune system functioning.*
Concentrate Ionic Trace MineralsIonic minerals are in a form that the body recognizes and understands. Therefore, they easily cross through the selectively permeable cell membranes. Your body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently known to man in order to maintain health. Antioxidant Natural Greens help balance this incredibly vital task.*
Spirulina: Spirulina is a freshwater algae containing an incredible source of nutrients. It provides generous amounts of Beta-Carotene, Vitamin B-12, Iron and Chlorophyll. Spirulina also has the highest protein of any natural food and contains more antioxidants than most regular whole foods.
Chlorella: This green single-cell freshwater algae is a rich and balanced source of many nutrients that are essential to health. Chlorella contains high levels of chlorophyll, vitamin B12, beta-carotene and RNA/DNA when compared with other whole-foods. More than 20 vitamins and minerals are found in chlorella, including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, pro-vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and B12, biotin, inositol, folic acid, plus vitamins C, E and K.
Apple Fiber PectinApple Pectin is helpful in maintaining good digestive health.*
LecithinLecithin: is a rich source of choline, which is necessary for the body to make acetyl choline, the neurotransmitter needed for normal nerve function.* Note: this is NOT soy lecithin.
Licorice Root ExtractNext to ginseng, licorice is the most popular herb used in Chinese formulas. Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, flavanoids, isoflavanoids, magnesium, silicon, sodium and other beneficial constituents. Licorice root is known to support the immune system and the adrenal glands.*
Please note: Elderly persons or those suffering from cardiovascular disease, liver or kidney problems or potassium deficiency should consult their health care professional before consuming licorice root. We also offer this product without licorice root extract.

They are a natural part of the bacterial flora in the human body and have a symbiotic bacteria-host relationship with humans. B. Longum promotes good digestion, boosts the immune system, and produces lactic and acetic acid that controls intestinal pH.*
L. Acidophilus (L. Acidophilus)Lactobacillus acidophilus is widely used in many probiotic supplements. Many studies have confirmed its beneficial effects for favorable altering the intestinal microflora balance, inhibiting growth of harmful bacteria, boosting immune functions, promoting good digestion, and increasing the bodies natural immune system.*
