Eat Sprouted and find out why!

When it comes to eating any legumes, nuts or seeds they MUST be sprouted!!!  Don't eat them unless they are.  Each one of those foods can be hard for the body to breakdown and digest.  They are dense fats and to make it easier and more nutritionally beneficial for you and your body, you always want them in a sprouted form.

Sprouted just means that they have released their own enzymes and are alive and ready to be digested.  Eating anything sprouted is so much more beneficial for the body's ability to absorb all the nutrients that the food has to offer.  It's so much easier now to find foods that are sprouted too.  Until recently most of us in the vegan-raw world had to sprout our own foods.  Now, you can purchase them from many stores in the bulk section or prepackaged.  

In my Essential Meal I included 11 different sprouts that I feel are "essential" to have everyday. I tried to do all the work for you by included them into your daily balanced meal.  Sprouts offer so many different minerals and vitamins that by having my Essential Meal at least once a day you will notice that you can cut down on consumption of non essential snacking foods.  Just by giving your body the right nutrients that trigger the right hormone releases from the brain you will have a better day

If you are lucky enough to have a Farmers Market that offers fresh Sprouts then take advantage.  My FAVORITE sprouted thing to eat is pumpkin seed.  Gopals.com is my absolute fav... I carry them at both my locations but you can order them online.  They are located in Texas and they make all their own products. 

Here's a bonus tip:  Pumpkin seeds have protein, fiber, magnesium, potassium, iron and GOOD FAT!  Your body craves all the nutrients in pumpkin seeds.  They actually help to fight and prevent growths in the body.  I can't live without them.
