My New Superfood Is Green With Sari Spirulina Powder




      I love drinking smoothies in the morning as it is a great way to start my day with a powerhouse drink that gives me a lot of nutrition in one drink. I always add two to three servings of fruit and veggies in my smoothies along with yogurt, flax meal or chia seeds, and green matcha powder. I have discovered a new green superfood powder to add to my smoothie, Sari Spirulina Powder. My smoothies have been green for quite a while as I know green means healthy so I did not mind the extra green that this organic Spirulina gave to my morning smoothie.

  So you are probably wondering what Spirulina is and what makes it a superfood. I was sent a package of  Sari Spirulina Powder to experience its benefits. This nutrient-packed green powder comes from a blue-green algae, the same algae that fish eat to be able to be rich in omegas. Don't worry though about the safety of Sari Spirulina as it is grown in natural soda lakes in a remote area that is free of industry and pollution, making it naturally rich in minerals and trace elements.

Sari Spirulina is 100% Non-Toxic and Contaminant Free - Free of Chemicals, Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Yeast, Mold, E. Coli, BMAA, Microcystine, Pheophorbides, Irradiation, GMO's, Preservatives, Additives, Solvents, Binders, Soy & Gelatin.



    Spirulina is rich in protein, iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotine, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9's). Click Here to see the wonderful amounts of each one. I found out that adding Spirulina to my diet will strengthen my immune system, this is great as cold and flu season is upon us. It will fight aging & free radicals with all its antioxidants . This green powder is a great multivitamin with over 100 naturally occurring and bioavailable vitamins & nutrients, listed above.

  Spirulina can be added to just about anything - from your favorite smoothies and juices to many other recipes - for a great nutritional boost. I like to add my Spirulina to smoothies. I use 1 teaspoon of this green powder along with fruit. The green powder does come from algae so it has a fish smell to it. I discovered that once I added it to my smoothie that it added no taste and the fish smell was gone. All I tasted was my fruit in my smoothie. Yes it does make your smoothie a deep green color, but to me green means it is healthy. Green is my color for ensuring my body is getting a powerful source of nutrients to enable me to be healthy and enjoy life.

Spirulina Smoothie

1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
I like to add 2 tablespoons flax meal to my smoothie for additional fiber and omegas.

Help A Family Have Thanksgiving

SMN

If you are looking for a way to help others have a Thanksgiving then join this wonderful project.

The Scary Mommy Thanksgiving Project began three years ago, with just a handful of families.

A handful of mothers who confessed not being able to afford Thanksgiving dinners and a handful of readers who volunteered to help them. Nobody was trying to save the world; we just wanted to be able to make a difference in one family’s life.

And then the magic happened.

More families came forward with their struggles and even more families pitched in to help, donating anywhere from a dollar to several hundred. Over four hundred families celebrated a Thanksgiving dinner they otherwise would have gone without and Scary Mommy Nation (now a 501(c)3 charity) was born.

Every day, Scary Mommy is proud to showcase a variety of viewpoints and perspectives from mothers everywhere. Underneath all of our differences – behind all of that which too often divides us – the wonder of a mother’s love for her children is universal. And what can be more instinctually maternal than wanting to be able to nurture and provide for your family?

That’s the simple beauty of the Thanksgiving Project. Our children– and our struggle for their well-being – is what connects this community. To date, more than 4,500 families have benefited  from the Thanksgiving Project. Last year alone, we received 2,765 applications and were able to fulfill each and every one. It’s time to do it all again.

How I Took Care Of My Smelly Washing Machine With Smelly Washer Cleaner






Does your washing machine have a bad odor to it? Do you towels and laundry smell like mildew? I know my washing machine had a bad odor to it and my husband was always complaining that our towels smelled funky. I tried everything to get rid of the smell and nothing seemed to work until I tried Smelly Washer Cleaner

I was sent a bottle of Smelly Washer Cleaner to put to the test. This product was easy to use. All you do is put a tablespoon of the powder in your washing machine and run a hot cycle without any clothes. The jar contains 24 treatments and lasts a whole year Smelly Washer is an all natural crystallized powder that cleans the odor out of your washing machine and leaves your laundry smelling fresh again.

I simply put a tablespoon of Smelly Washer Cleaner in my washing machine and ran a hot water cycle. I was amazed that my washing machine has a nice pleasant scent to it, not chemical.  My towels now smell so much better and no longer have a musty smell to them.

You can use it in HE or regular washers that are plastic or stainless steel. You can even use it it your dishwasher too.
