Conscious Eating 101
Foods with super flavor? Well, yes, that’s true, but it's not what gives them their super food ranking. Here's a course you might find of special interest.
10 Super Foods & how we serve them:
Super Foods are a class of organic plants with optimal levels of nutrients per calorie. Proteins, carbs and fats are the three categories of calories. Nutrients, such as vitamins, mineral and fiber, are the essential noncaloric elements of food that enable calories to fuel the cells.
Low calorie, nutrient-rich super foods need to become a daily habit to promote optimal weight and keep all systems flowing. We’ve created a menu of our favorite appetizing super food dishes designed to vitalize the body, sharpen the mind and elevate the spirit.
Popeye received an instant steroid effect by squishing a can labeled “Spinach,” causing the entire content to arch through the air into his waiting mouth. Besides being tastier, fresh green organic baby spinach leaves are much more nutritious than Popeye’s canned version. A good fat-free source for protein, iron, magnesium, antioxidant, vitamins C and K, fresh spinach promotes the rare combination of calm nerves and high energy. Other benefits include protection from inflammation in the intestinal tract lining, cardiovascular flow and liver regeneration.
Our House Organic Chicken Salad not only features spinach but other organic baby greens including kale, basil and sprouts. Combined with avocado, cucumber, tomato, organic corn salsa, broccoli, carrot and a mayo-free thousand island dressing, this plate gives you a complete range of what you need.

Another benefit glowing in importance is its protective cellular shield against cell phone radiation and other microwave pulses in the environment.
