Fast Food!?!
Evergreen Nutrition recommends a Fast Food diet! No, its not a cold day in the underworld, its freeze-dried fruits, veggies and herbs from Eclectic Institute in Sandy, Oregon. We are very pleased to tell you that we have recently expanded our line of Eclectics freeze-dried POWders. Thats Plant Originated Wellness or, as Hippocrates said, Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.
The Eclectic Institute, founded over 25 years ago by two naturopathic doctors who wanted fresh, organic, high quality botanicals to use in their practice, developed a line of freeze-dried herbs and foods in which the potency of a wide range of active constituents in the fresh plants is maintained. They do not use any solvents in this process, just cold and pressure to extract the goodness from the plants. The final product also retains fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes and flavor. The only thing missing is the water. In addition, these freeze-dried foods have a shelf life of about two years. For more information visit Eclectic Institute
Do you like mushroom soup? Try MUSHROOM IMMUNI TEA, a blend of shiitake, maitake, reishi and oyster mushrooms that offer immune support and a caffeine-free pick me up. If you mix it with hot water you have a delicious broth that can be drunk as a tea or used as the basis of soup or gravy.
Got a picky eater who wont touch veggies? VEGGIE 10 can be added to mac and cheese, for example. Its a tasty blend of tomatoes, kale, beets, celery, carrots, spinach, parsley, alfalfa, nettle, endive and watercress. A fast, easy way to get veggies into your diet every day. And, if you like it hot, RED FOOD DEFENSE is another veggie blend that has tomatoes, red bell peppers, celery, turmeric, garlic, beets and cayenne to zip it up. Both of these POWders are rich with nutrients, antioxidants, lycopene and carotenoids and taste great mixed with water (hot or cold) or added to virtually any savory dish.
If you have a sweet tooth, feed it with NUTRIGENOMIC BERRY (black raspberry, grapes, blackberries, aronia, cranberry, acai and strawberry) or PHENOMENOL 7 (cranberry, blackberry, grape, acai, pineapple, banana and mango). Are you getting hungry yet?
One of the things that makes these POWders so exceptional is their versatility. For super fast nutrition, simply mix with water and go. Sprinkle on salads or steamed veggies to add nutrition and flavor. Add them to smoothies, juice or apple sauce especially good for children! Try blending them into yogurt, sour cream and/or cream cheese (yum!!) to make a sweet or savory dip. Blend a bit into mayo to punch up a sandwich or pasta salad. Add to soups, casseroles, breading or crumb toppings. This stuff is real food providing real nutrition real fast!!
Evergreen Nutrition now carries over 30 Eclectic POWders. Even the strictly therapeutic ones taste good and are easy to take. For example, ELDERBERRY IMMUNE (elderberry, blackberry, larix, ginger and clove) supports the immune system. GREEN MEMORY (spinach, ginkgo, green milky oats, hawthorn, turmeric, nettles and ginger) supports cognitive function.
