Hair Care Favorite
Earth Science Hair Masque
with olive and avocado oils is perfect for any hair type. With the colder
winter days, it is important to remember to maintain those healthy locks. The
dry, bitter cold air can be too harsh on hair, especially when wet. So
remembering to deep treat those splitting ends will help in the long run.
For someone with oily hair,
I struggle terribly with finding a product for my hair that works with my hair
type. This product leaves my hair feeling smooth, protects my ends from
stripping, and tames fly-aways.
You can use this as an every
other day ritual, or like I do, as a treatment 1 to 2 times per week. I often
recommend this product to customers and friends who are searching for that
awesome hair product to amp up their hair care routine.

Cold and Flu Support
Andrographis is an Indian
Ayurvedic herb used for centuries to help with immune boosting, inflammation
and respiratory infections. This is one of my personal favorites for the cold
and flu season. At the first signs of a cold or cough, just one capsule a day
of Nature’s Plus Andrographis seems to help shorten the duration and lessen
symptoms. Bronchitis is a thing of the past for our family!

Too Good to Be True
New to The Healthy Grocer
this month is one of the most satisfyingly healthy snacks I have ever
encountered! “Hi I’m Skinny Sticks” has a line of whole grain based snack
sticks made with all natural ingredients, real vegetables and contain no
preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. What more could you ask for?
Personally, I would ask if these vegan, non-GMO, too-good-to-be-true snacks
were also calorie free. Though they are not calorie free, they are very low in
calories and fat with only 120 calories and 6g fat per serving. Victory!
I encourage everyone to
treat themselves to one, or all, of the Skinny Stick snacks which come in Sweet
Potato, Veggie Tortilla and Sweet Onion flavors. They are crunchy, flavorful
and healthy all at the same time. You will not be disappointed!

Happy Juicing
As part of the produce team
here at The Healthy Grocer, I’ve learned a lot of different things. One thing
that has really stuck with me these past few years is juicing. It’s become a
part of my daily routine. I always have customers asking for new ideas for
their juice. Recently I have tried something new, the Hamlin orange.
When juicing, I love to add
oranges. The Hamlin orange has a wonderful amount of juice and great flavor.
It’s perfect to add to green juice, to give you that added Vitamin C or just to
help mask those strong green flavors.
It’s definitely something I
will keep around for my juicing routine and I recommend trying for any type of
juice.
Also, remember, when juicing
it’s best to let your citrus reach room temperature to get the most amount of
juice! Happy juicing!

Delicious Deli Cookies
After the parties and hubbub
of the holiday season, there’s nothing nicer than to slow down, take it easy
and enjoy curling up at home with a steaming mug of hot cocoa and a tasty
cookie. One of my favorites, our Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies,
would play an excellent role in such a cozy scenario. These cookies are made
without dairy (they do have eggs, so unfortunately they aren’t vegan) and also
use gluten-free rolled oats and fresh-ground peanut butter made here in our
store. Deliciously dense and chewy, they’re reminiscent of classic winter comfort food and are perfect for dunking.
They also keep well in a sealed container and stay fresh-tasting for days. Give
yourself the gift of a peanut-buttery, chocolate moment!
