Vitacost Shipment

Here's my latest Vitacost order and why I love each of these:
  • Real Salt 26 oz $5.21 (unrefined, no additives, and contains more than 60 naturally occuring trace elements, single ingredient)
  • Raw Brazil Nuts 12 oz $7.19 each (1-2 per day helps us meet our daily Selenium requirement, a common nutrient deficiency)
  • Native Forest Unsweetened Organic Coconut Milk 13.5 oz $1.88 each (BPA-free can! This stuff goes great in coffee, desserts, Thai dishes, and more.)
  • Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin 15 oz $2.28 each (BPA-free can! Single ingredient.)
  • Woodstock Raw Almond Butter 16 oz $8.90 (Raw almond butter is the way to go! Very smooth and creamy. Every single jar of roasted almond butter I've tried tasted rancid. The almonds used for this butter are lightly dried and unblanched. Single ingredient.)
  • Magnesium Malate 400 mg 120 tablets $6.29 (Magnesium is another common nutrient deficiency. Great food sources include: leafy greens, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, and mineral or spring water. Supplements ending in "-ate" are more easily absorbed than oxide. 400 mg is the minimum recommended daily amount, and from foods is best. The very first time Keith and I tried Magnesium was in oxide form, and I'm pretty sure we were deficient because we very quickly felt the effects. We're talking Cheech & Chong relaxed. So we keep these on hand and take half the recommended amount per day. It helps us handle stress and sleep better. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING. Just putting it in there. You'll know if you're taking too much if you're having to go to the bathroom in a hurry. If you find this to be the case, it is recommened that you cut back the dosage and you should be fine.)
  • Let's Do Organic Unsweetened Coconut Flakes 8 oz $2.42 (Why do I love shredded coconut? I don't know if I do, yet. But, my sweet husband wanted to cook coconut shrimp for supper one night, made a special trip to the store for coconut flakes, couldn't find one single package that was unsweetened, bought a fresh coconut instead, got it home, worked like hell to get into the thing, only to find it was rotten! So, the next time he wants to cook up something with unsweetened shredded coconut, he's gonna have it!)
  • Garden of Life Health book & GreenDog Naturals Supplement (Free samples, limit 2 per order)
Total Cost :$49.29

If you can't find what you need locally, ordering online can help. Vitacost, I feel, is reasonably priced on most items, and they often e-mail discount codes for orders. If you are new to Vitacost and want to place an order, please consider my referral link here. After signing up, you'll receive a $10 discount code and so will I. $49 orders get you free shipping (or $25 on Vitacost or select products).
