Power Powders

(from Love Mikana.com http://www.lovemikana.com/green-scene/power-powders/ Thanks guys!!)

Let’s face it: supplements are trendy. You can get any green goo or powder pretty much anywhere, including your corner mini-mart. But just because it’s green doesn’t mean it’s good or even good for you.

So why is Mattole Valley Naturals - whose kitchen is in downtown Santa Barbara - any different from the rest of the potion peddlers? Here’s the short list:

Their products are not extracts but whole foods. Real things, organically grown or wild harvested then dried and ground into bits. Yay, food!
The company started out of years of work from an ex pro-athlete, long-time MD turned Eastern Medicine practitioner who has been using the same blends with family and patients for years.
Look at the package. Yes, it’s pretty and simple, but it actually lists what’s inside and why your body would want it. Transparency? What a treat!
The Strawberry Goat Milk Protein Powder makes us swoon. It’s smooth, slightly tangy and not too sweet. And guess what? Made with actual dried strawberries – we saw them. If you’re jonesing for a caffeine-free afternoon pick me up we also hit the Performance Greens Blend No.4.

Of course you want to be en vogue, so stock up on some supplements. But by all means, make sure they are Mattole Valley Naturals so you can actually do good for your body and soul.
