Bread Heads, Unite
This bread is so good it has fans called Bread Heads. Dave’s Killer Bread Good Seed Thin-Sliced Organic Bread gets its killer taste and texture from whole-wheat flour; seeds including sunflower, flax, and sesame; and naturally sweet organic molasses. Each slice has 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and a whopping 360 mg of omega-3s. Plus, it contains no GMOs or high-fructose corn syrup, it’s 100% vegan, and has only 70 calories per slice!
Raise the Bar
You’ll wonder how something this oh-so good can be good for you, too. Solgar Ohso Belgian Chocolate bars combine melt-in-your mouth Belgian chocolate with a daily dose of probiotics, known to promote healthy gut bacteria and a strong immune system. More than 1 billion live Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotic bacteria go into every bar. Plus, these bars are gluten-, nut-, and cholesterol-free.
Give Yourself a Boost

And Gaia Herbs MacaBoost Vanilla-Chai adds holy basil to help you focus and deal with stress (it also contains real vanilla and cardamom). MacaBoost is certified organic and vegan, and no sugar or other sweeteners are added. Available in single-serve packets or single containers, MacaBoost can be added to smoothies or your favorite milk.
Unrefined Beauty
Coconut oil is becoming more popular in skin care, and for good reason-it’s ultra moisturizing and naturally rich in antioxidants including vitamin E. But most coconut oil is refined, meaning it goes through processing using high heat and chemicals that damage its beneficial properties. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion Coconut Rescue uses only unrefined, cold-pressed coconut oil, blended with rich coconut milk and silky shea butter, a hydrating combination that rescues and replenishes even the driest skin.
Turn Over a New (Olive) Leaf
Olive leaf products have been used for hundreds of years to treat skin conditions. And olive leaf extract is the key ingredient in Oleavicin, a gel developed by Craig and Cindy Makela, olive growers who wanted something that would work on their son’s chronic cold sores. What they came up with is effective for cold sores, fever blisters, canker sores, dry and itchy skin, and even acne-without the potential side effects of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter creams and gels.
