Long Overdo

I feel like I need a pause button. How is it already Friday? No complaints there. How is it already July? How is it that I keep forgetting to post things I mean to post weeks ago? I blame it on National Blonde day, which was yesterday by the way. My natural color is dirty blonde so I figure I can make that excuse and act “blonde” for the week. No offense to my fellow blondies.

Looks like blondes really do have more fun. 

 

Anyway, that is neither here nor there. My main objective for this post was to A (write a review and giveaway) and B (share a workout). Lets get started before I lose focus again.

A while back, the wonderful folks at Sun Chlorella USA sent me a sample package of some of their great Chlorella supplements. The package consisted of everything from daily tablets and granules to lotion and herbal tea!

Now, you might be wondering…"okay, big deal. What the heck is chlorella anyway?”

Chlorella is a natural whole food supplement, aka a SUPERFOOD! Yep, a good GREEN one too. In fact, its derived from a fresh water green ALGAE. But this little algae ain’t no joke. Its packed with vital nutrients.

• potassium
• B vitamins
• magnesium
• zinc
• iron
• 18 amino acids
• beta carotene
• lutein

I could go on, but you get my drift. I really believe that whole food supplement is the way to go, so I was excited to test these out. Plus, when I lived in Hawaii, I would run everyday down at the beach near the natural energy lab. If you hit the right trail, you could see all the algae they were growing. I am such a SCIENCE NERD and got a thrill out it. DORK ALERT!

  

Needless to say, I like supplement chlorella in my diet. No they did not pay me to say that. Like I said, real food supplements help me feel more energized and alive.

My favorite were the granules. Tossing them into green smoothies, juices, made it easy to absorb. Whoops, this one was half way gone before I realized I needed to snap a shot.

Must have been a blonde moment.

So, wanna try some out yourself? Sun Chlorella giving away a sample pack.
