Chocolate-Covered Cherry Smoothie



Chocolate-covered cherry fans, let me here you say "YUM"!

When you indulge in this rich and chocolaty smoothie, you won't believe that it's actually healthy and nutritious. It's made with antioxidant-rich cherries, which are great for anti-aging and beautiful skin.
Cacao nibs are a superfood staple in our kitchen. This raw chocolate is a fantastic source of magnesium as well as other important minerals.  It’s high in antioxidants, can increase energy, is healthy for our hearts, and let’s not forget … it's delicious.

In this smoothie recipe, the sweetness of the cherries compliments so well the richness of cacao. We've added Nanopro chocolate protein powder for an immunity boost and detoxification.. bonus!

Reds vs. Greens: What's the Difference?


We get asked this question a lot, so what is the difference between Nanogreens and Nanoreds? 

Here’ what you need to know:

Reds or Greens

Both Nanogreens and Nanoreds are a superfood savior! While Nanogreens concentrates on more antioxidant -rich leafy greens including kale, spinach and parsley, Nanoreds contains more antioxidant-rich fruits like pomegranate, cranberry and black current. They are both high in antioxidants and include a combination of fruits and vegetables, but Nanoreds features the high-quality ingredient WellBerry.

What’s WellBerry?

WellBerry is a combination of the superfruit extract Amla (aka Gooseberry) and vitamin C. WellBerry promotes healthy immune function, is anti-inflammatory, and has amazing anti-aging benefits because of its high levels of resveratrol.

How much Resveratrol is in Nanoreds?

You’ve probably heard the benefits of drinking a glass of red wine for anti-aging, so you’ll appreciate this! There is 100 mg of whole grape extract providing 5% resveratrol per serving of Nanoreds, which is the equivalent to 22 glasses of wine (without the side effects of course)! Free radicals cause the oxidation process in our bodies, which leads to cell damage. The super hero in this fight are antioxidants who work to either prevent the chain reaction or stop it after it’s started. For woman over the age of 30, Nanoreds is a superfood, anti-aging superhero!


We recommend taking Nanogreens AND Nanoreds every day for the best health benefits. There's no competition here, just a whole lot of Nanolove! It’s time to shake your nanos!

The Benefits of Bone Broth + DIY Recipe


There's an unlikely beverage that's taking the country by storm! It's the latest trend and apparently you need to know about it: the drink that everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kobe Bryant is talking about. Bone broth is gaining popularity quickly because people know that it tastes amazing and keeps them healthy. And with age-defying, weight-shedding, gut-healing benefits, you may want to jump on the band wagon.

Here are a few key ingredients that make bone broth so nutritious:

  • Collagen. This structural protein builds strong skin, protecting against aging and wrinkling. While expensive collagen skin creams work temporarily, dietary collagen is far more potent because it mainlines collagen to your cells.
  • The gelatin derived from collagen heals your digestive tract, helping to prevent inflammation. It literally “heals and seals” your gut, promoting healthy digestion.
  • Glycine. Your body is bombarded all day long with toxins that age you. Glycine helps your liver get these toxins out of your body, re-energizing and de-aging your cells.
  • Minerals including calcium, silicon, phosphorus, and magnesium. Bone broth is a fabulous source of these anti-aging minerals, and its chemical composition makes them highly absorbable.
  • Glycosaminoglycans, including glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. These nutrients keep your joints lubricated & flexible.
  • Iodine. Bone broth is rich in this nutrient, which protects against a sluggish thyroid — a major cause of weight gain, thinning hair, and energy loss.

Consider this: Bone broth is one of the oldest healing and anti-aging foods on the planet. So if current science and hundreds of generations of healers say that bone broth works … isn't it worth a try?

How to make it:


Ingredients:

- One whole ,Organic Free- Range Chicken (2 to 3 pounds) You can also use high-quality bones or frozen leftover bones. You can use beef, lamb, chicken, or turkey bones.
- 4 quarts filtered Water
- 3 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 large white Onion, chopped
- 3 Carrots, chopped
- 4 stalks Celery, chopped
- 4 Garlic Cloves, whole
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 1 sprig Rosemary

Directions:

1. Fill up a large pot with filtered water.
2. Add vinegar, garlic, rosemary and all vegetables except parsley.
3. Place the whole chicken in the pot, bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to low heat & simmer
5. Let simmer for at least 8 hours.
6. Add the parsley 10 minutes before finishing the stock.
7. Strain through a fine, mesh strainer to remove fragments. You can use the veggies & chicken for another dish or keep them, but make sure all of the bone fragments are removed.
8. Transfer the broth to large mason jars for keeping in the fridge, leaving an inch of space from the top of the jar. If freezing, leave at least 2 inches of space.


Drink at least one cup of bone broth per day, adding fresh veggies, herbs & spices as you desire!



Cheers!
