  • Introducing MUSH – The New Way to Eat Breakfast in 2021

    Introducing MUSH – The New Way to Eat Breakfast in 2021

    Cold. Creamy. Like Pudding.

    Just what you were looking for – an easy, healthy breakfast that’s perfect on-the-go. They make healthy food convenient and delicious so that you can incorporate more of it into your life. Because after all, you are what you eat.

    Why Overnight Oats?

    All grains including oats contain phytic acid, which binds to nutrients and makes them harder to absorb. Soaking oats breaks down the acid and helps increase the absorption of nutrients, like zinc and iron.

    Soaking the oats also facilitates the break down of the natural starches, a type of complex carbohydrate, found in oats. This helps to improve digestion, aid in weight loss, and increase feelings of fullness.

    Better absorption. Better digestion. BETTER YOU.

    “Mushy. In all the right ways.”

    Made with simple, whole food ingredients, each Mush Overnight Oats product contains 8 or less real ingredients. Available in these amazing flavors year-round: Apple Pie, Coffee + Coconut Cream, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla Bean, & Wild Blueberry. If you love these, keep your eye out for their fun seasonal flavors available for limited times!

    Did we mention how healthy their overnight oats actually are?

    No heat pasteurization. No preservatives. No fillers. No artificial flavors or colors. Gluten free. Dairy free. Non-GMO. Protein rich. High in fiber. Plant-based.

    Save $1 on 5oz. MUSH Overnight Oats during the month of January – try them all!

  • DIY Bug Bite Balm!

    DIY Bug Bite Balm!

    Everyone loves summertime, from swimming in the pool, to going on hikes, and having lots of outdoor parties and barbecues. The one downside to being outside… getting bug bites! We tried this DIY Bug Bite Balm and we had to share with everyone! The “pulling” action from the activated charcoal helps remove the toxins from the stings and bites, while the soothing properties from the lavender essential oil help the inflammation and itching. Plus, the coconut oil and shea butter offer a nice anti-bacterial and rejuvenating effect (respectively).

    Ingredients

    3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil

    1 ½ Tablespoons Shea Butter

    15-21 Drops of Organic Lavender Essential Oil

    1 Tablespoon Activated Charcoal (grab some from our bulk section!)

    1 Reusable Container (we used U-Konserve’s Big Mini Stainless Steel Container)


    Method

    1. Melt down coconut oil and shea butter.

    2. Once fully melted, add essential oil and activated charcoal. Mix well!

    3. Carefully spoon the liquid into reusable container. Allow to rest for 2-3 hours.

    4. When needed, rub the balm on the affected area, allowing it to run into the skin. Place a bandage on top of the balm and allow it to work its magic before rinsing off later.

    NOTE: During extremely hot days, you want to make sure to keep your new bug bite balm in a cool spot so it doesn’t melt.
