Newsflash: Organic and Crunchy CAN Taste Good!

I’m going to preface this post by saying that, for the most part, my experience with anything organic and crunchy (not crunchy as in texture but crunchy as in lifestyle) has left me pretty underwhelmed.  I am so un-crunchy that I called myself squishy when I had my babies.  “Crunchy granola mom? Not me, I’m the squishy mom!”  Maybe it was funny only to me, but the point was that I balked at most of the crunchy, au natural and organic offerings on store shelves convinced it was all marketing and that I was just fine with that I had, thankyouverymuch.

However, there are certain diet (as in nutrition, not weight loss) trends that I’ve discovered are worth their weight.  I love veggies, take my vitamins (when I remember) and recently discovered that kale is actually pretty delicious and am kind of obsessed with it (see kale soup recipe here, yay!)  One area that hasn’t impressed me until now is food supplements.  I’ve found them to be gritty, tasteless, and not really formatted for me as a busy mom (but more so happy bunny gym types, whom I don’t relate to one iota).  Then, I tried Now for Mothers Healing Mix and my opinion on organic and crunchy nutritional supplements has changed.

Now for Mothers Healing Mix is a post-pregnancy nutritional supplement comprised of ingredients that I can pronounce, nothing artificial or chemically sounding at all. Take a look at the ingredient listing: Organic Flax, Organic Oats, Organic Almonds, Organic Honey, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Wheat, Organic Butter, Organic Walnuts, Organic Pistachios, Organic Brown Sugar, Organic Raisins, Organic Pine Nuts, and Organic Melon Seeds.  The product is meant for moms right after birth and for up to six years later (though, to be honest, I’d still like this even after my youngest is 6!)

Your body goes through tremendous change with pregnancy and birth, we all know this, and it takes a while to bounce back and feel like yourself again after.  Many books suggest it’s 9 months in and 9 months out for your body to readjust.  I think your body (your mind, your spirit) is forever changed (just ask anyone who suddenly goes up a shoe size after pregnancy like I did, nope, they didn’t shrink back down after 9 months!)

With all those benefits, could “tastes good” be added as well?  I am telling you, yes it is!  I’m not sure what I expected from Now For Mothers Healing Mix but I was pleasantly surprised by what I got.

The taste is nutty, sweet, and more like a delectible topping than a nutritional supplement on my morning cereal.  The cereal was great but I was really impressed when I added it to my yogurt and berries a few days ago:

That right there? That’s delicious and nutritious! And it tastes like that well-known no-bake blueberry cheesecake dessert that we all love!  You know the one I’m talking about?  Except in this case the only thing the same is the blueberries!  Plain Greek yogurt replaces the cream cheese and Now For Mothers Healing Mix replaces the graham cracker crust yet it tastes the same!  If you’re already a fan of Healing Mix, try it yourself and see.  If you haven’t tried Healing Mix yet, I’m really hoping my experience makes you consider it.

I have a friend who is a new mommy to a set of adorable twin boys, and beyond picking up a coffee and donut before our next visit, I’m going to grab a pouch of Healing Mix for her because I honestly, 100% think this is a great nutritional supplement and worth sharing with other moms.
