Super 7 Vegetarian Foods!
By Simi Gurm

Artisana Walnut Butter Raw 100% Organic Walnut Butter: ($16.00/Choices Market)
Nut Butter is a must-have in my pantry! This Walnut Butter is my favorite, it's Organic, Vegan and Raw, a good source of Omega-3 and Omega-6, protein and essential vitamins and minerals. You can eat it just as a spoonful or mix in your smoothies, or dessert recipes, spread on fresh fruit! Also Walnuts are on the 9 foods said to add to your diet for Breast Cancer Prevention.

Tea Forté Autumn Collection: ($15.00/teaforte.com)
My favorite tea brand! It's a global luxury tea brand.
Studies have shown that tea may protect against cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. It's full of antioxidants, which is great to fights signs of aging and  polyphenols, which stop plaque on your teeth!
This collection has Herbal,White Black and Green tea's, blends include African Solstice, Bombay Chai, Harvest Apple Spice, Moroccan Mint, White Cinnamon Sage. Full of flavor warmth and harmony. Perfect for Fall cold nights and serving for your guests!

PRANA Black Chia Seeds Organic & Whole: ($6.00/Choices Market)
A superfood that everyone should have in their pantry! These Chia Seeds contain 30% protein, 30% fiber, high radical fighting antioxidants, and high in calcium.
Said to be even better than Flax Seeds! If your living a Raw or Vegetarian lifestyle this is a must-have to add to your diet, you can add it to your morning smoothie like I do! All you need is two tablespoons to get your daily dose of Omega 3s.
Did you know that you can replace eggs in recipes and 1 tbsp of Chia Seeds are = to 1 egg.

Silver Hills Bakery Gluten Free Omega Flax Bread: ($6.00/MarketPlace IGA)
A nice source of Omega-3, this healthy, organic and gluten free bread is my ultimate favorite, a must-have, it's vegan & contains no dairy, high in fiber and protein. It tastes delicious and a super choice compared to other bread in your bakery department, it's truly good for you!

Silk Almond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Beverage: ($2.50/Superstore)
You can use Almond Beverage in any way you usually use dairy milk, in tea/coffee, cereal, and in recipes. As much Calcium as dairy milk, 35 calories per serving and full of Vitamins & Minerals! You want to always make sure to get the Unsweetened option as it's healthier than the other's you don't want spoonfuls of sugar in your beverage, that's not a healthy morning breakfast! Also this is one of the very few brands that DON'T use the ingredient Carrageenan in their Almond Beverage's (Carrageenan can cause inflammation, gut irritation, and even cancer!).

PROBAR BOLT Organic Energy Chews: (12-pack $29.88/shop.theprobar.com)
On the go, at the office, at school or after the gym, these Energy Chews are amazing. Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Natural Energy Chews, 100% vegan, certified organic, certified non-GMO and most raw, they have four flavors, my favorite is Orange. Perfect bite sized chews that have all the goodness of electrolytes, B vitamins, antioxidants and complex carbs. Easy to digest and taste like fresh fruit.

Crofter's Organic Superfruit Just Fruit Spread: ($3.99/Save On Foods)
This brand has such a wide assortment of Spreads/Jams, add them to your smoothes, or eat with bread! They are Organic, Vegan, Gluten Free and full of antioxidant's and sweetened with fruit juice concentrate. Superfruit contains red grape and morello cherry base with exotic açai berries and pomegranate!
