I am a huge fan of Barleans! I met up with them at the NPA Marketplace in Las Vegas this past June. This company produces omega-3 fatty acids supplements in organic oil form and other healthy supplement options. This family company once started as a fishery and eventually turned into what it is today, although they still sell fish to locals. I recently did a review of their Kids Omega-3 Swirl Supplement; my kids love this “Lemonade Smoothie”.
I was recently sent their Greens to try. I enjoy finding new supplements for my kids, but it’s great to find something that I can add to my diet! Barleans produces 4 types of Greens: Organic, Berry, Chocolate Silk and Suferfruit. I was sent the Chocolate Silk and the Superfruit to review. Both Greens are gluten free and contain no GMOs. These Greens both contain probiotics and enzymes that aid digestion.
The Superfruit Greens is a strawberry-kiwi flavor. It has 8 fruits and vegetables per serving. Just add one scoop to water and mix well. I have found that shaking the water and mix together works better than just stirring. These Greens remind me of a vitamin drink.
The Chocolate Silk tastes like chocolate milk! I add a scoop to 8 oz of almond milk every morning and love it! There are more than 5 servings of vegetables in a scoop. To be honest, I can’t even taste the veggies! I have been drinking this every morning for a couple of weeks as my breakfast and I have found that it keeps me full till lunch. I am not claiming that it will do the same for you, but this is a great breakfast for me, especially since the shaker I have has a mouth piece. I can just add the almond milk, add the scoop of greens, place the lid on and shake it together on my way to the car.
If I can sneak in more veggies and fruits into my day, I will take them. I try to eat a balanced diet, but a few extra veggies never hurt anyone. I have to say that I prefer the Chocolate over the Superfruit Greens! I do like the Choclate Silk for breakfast and the Superfruit as an afternoon snack…I guess it comes down to how I feel each day!
You can buy Barleans on their website and they are available at many health food stores! I saw these Greens at my local health food store the other day. The Superfruit and Chocolate Silk Greens cost $34.95 online.

I am always looking for ways to get extra fruits and veggies in my diet! With this upcoming season of gorging yourself with lots of not-so-good-for-you food, having a supplement that contains fruits and veggies is not such a bad idea! Pure Prescriptions has created a line of NewGreens, a healthy drink mix that contains fruits and veggies. There are three different kinds of NewGreens to choose from: Organic, Berry and Original. You can mix the NewGreens by adding one scoop to 10 oz. of juice, cold water or your preferred milk such as rice, almond or soy.
I was sent the Organic NewGreens which has over 20 servings of fruits and vegetables per scoop! It is a 100% Vegan friendly blend of five proprietary formulas developed by doctors that support body repair and longevity, immune system health, optimum digestion, detoxification support, vitality, and mental clarity.

I try to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle, but I wish that I had a personal coach! Now I can…well, kind of! There is now an app for smartphones powered by Life Supplemented, called WannaBeWell.
The WannaBeWell mobile application from Life…supplemented is a comprehensive wellness resource that aims to educate, activate and motivate those looking to live a healthier life. The approach focuses on three pillars: healthy diet, vitamins and other supplements, and regular exercise.
I downloaded this app to my iPhone and the first thing I had to do was a personalize a Wellness Coach! You get to pick the gender and clothes that your coach wears, so anything that helps you stay motivated! These coaches deliver daily motivational and educational messages to keep you moving towards a healthier lifestyle. You get “Healthy Mission” tasks, as well as trophies for accomplishing these tasks. You can also explore the Supplement Resource Center, which offers users information about vitamins and other dietary supplements. There are thousands of articles that help users make informed dietary decisions. You can also set reminders to help you remember to take your supplements.
You can download the app for FREE!
You can also go to lifesupplemented.org for more online resources. I think you should utilize the website along with the app. The website allows you to take a quiz, read their blog and has tons of information about Healthy Diets, Supplements and Exercise.
I encourage you to look into this app and the website! Try it and see if it helps motivate you to stay active and live healthy.
