Snack 1: Nud Fud – Spirulina Banana Crisps

Spirulina is a cyanobacteria first used by the Aztecs and called “the best food for the future” by the United Nations World Food Conference. This algae is a complete protein rich in B vitamins and has been reported to help correct anemia, balance pH, supress appetite, reduce radioactive damage and lower cholesterol. Spirulina is a safe and effective superfood that is highly digestible, with no side effects. It does, however, contain iodine, so those allergic or sensitive to iodine should avoid taking it.

Much like green spirulina, Blue Majik is known for being nutrient dense; full of vitamins (especially B12), enzymes, and minerals. Studies show C-phycocyanin to be rich in antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties and a natural COX-2 inhibitor.

Surprise Item: Alfalfa Sprouting Seeds

The sprout of the alfalfa flower seed is full of health benefits — all while low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. Different parts of the alfalfa plant have varied uses and effects. In traditional Chinese medicine, fresh alfalfa juice is used to treat kidney stones, while the plant root is said to control fevers and improve jaundice. Alfalfa leaves contain saponin ‘ a compound that might have a cholesterol-lowering effect. Alfalfa is generally safe in its natural form. However, the amino acid L-canavanine, found in alfalfa seeds and sprouts, has been shown to trigger lupus flare-ups in patients with a history of the disease. Alfalfa supplements are also not advised during pregnancy.
