I’m a big fan of getting nutrients in however we can, and these Regeneration USA products are a quick and easy way to keep your body running at its best.
Their anti-aging Whole Food Bars are famous for their antioxidant strength. They contain a huge amount of protein, which is so helpful when you’re trying to lose weight, as well as health-boosting foods like Goji Berries, Cacao nibs and Blueberries. They are 100% raw and made without processed sugar, corn syrup, preservatives, or synthetic sweeteners. Oh, and they taste great…which is important in a snack!
Their anti-aging tea contains Jiaogulan, which is known in Chinese medicine as “the herb of immortality.” It promotes cardiovascular health, digestion, strength, endurance, and immunity, and is also believed to help your body combat stress.
To me, it just makes sense to give your body as much health-boosting energy as possible, don’t you think?

You’ve all heard me say how important greens are – I mean, we pretty much get most of the nutrients we need from those dark leafies! But what if you just don’t like the taste of greens?
I know, it’s a problem for some people. Others just want some variety…or to indulge their sweet tooth now and then. This Manna Feast is a super alternative. It’s packed with a ton of fruits, berries, land and sea vegetables like elderberry, carrots, sweet potato, and other nutrients like chlorella and probiotics.
You can put a couple of scoops into a glass of water and get a refreshing cold drink that’s sweet for your tastebuds…and your body.
Alright, I know I have a lot of favorites, especially for snacking, but… this chocolate is seriously THE BEST I’ve ever had!
A lot of Raw Chocolates are super sweet or they have too much coconut oil or they have a weird aftertaste. Renee’s Raw Chocolates are seriously the best I’ve ever tasted! We ran a special on these when I first started with open sky and we sold out. We made it even more affordable and lowered the price of these so order them now because these will definitely not last!
Packed with goji berries for antioxidants, vitamin C, amino acids, and minerals, they’re a chocolate lover’s healthy dream come true!

This was one of the first specials that I ran on opensky, but since people love hemp and use a lot of it, I wanted to run this again. Make sure you order this quickly as this special will run out fast. It’s a popular item!

One of the biggest questions I get asked about going raw is how to get enough protein. We all know that dark green leafies are the highest source, but what about when you’re on the run?
If I can’t sit down to a full meal or when I just want a boost, hemp products are my go-to quick and nutritious solution.
You can make a delicious smoothie with hemp powder (a great way to quickly replenish your muscles after a heavy workout!). Sprinkle hempseeds on top of salads, raw ice cream, even brownies. Prep a tasty salad dressing in advance using hemp oil to ensure you’re getting those all-important omega oils.
All three are easy ways to power up and feel great!
Here’s the recipe for my favorite power boost smoothie recipe:
Organic Cold-Pressed Hemp Oil – 16 oz.
Ingredients: 100% raw, organic hemp oil
Features:
Organic Hemp Protein 50% – 16 oz.
Ingredients: 100% Hemp Protein

This weeks super special! Brads Raw Chips!
I’m a snacker. That’s all I do is snack. I don’t really eat breakfast, lunch and dinner – I tend to graze throughout the day whenever I’m hungry. This way of eating works for me really well, because when you’re eating raw, you digest quicker so you need to eat more often.
Even back when I was bodybuilding, I’ve always felt better eating six small meals and snacks throughout the day. When you eat three big meals, your metabolism rises and crashes. But this way you keep your metabolism stoked all day, so you have more energy and burn more calories. One of my new go-to snacks of choice are Brad’s Chips.
The crackers are great because they’re crunchy and have really distinct flavors. And the kale chips are fantastic. Let’s be honest: we can all make kale chips at home in the dehydrator, but do you ever really find the time?
Kale is so good for you, but how often can you really get it in? These are great to have on hand instead of waiting five hours to dehydrate. If you’re new to this kind of eating, give the snacking system a try. I think you’ll be surprised to see how much energy you have – and how easily you lose weight!
I know many of you have heard me talk about how excited I am to be able to offer you amazing products at huge discounts. Its so easy to receive my inside sales and save tons of money on my favorite products! All you have to do is sign up here. You can also read more about how this works on my specials page.

And if your already signed up to receive my weekly specials, here is today’s which just started and will end tomorrow the 27th.
The collection of products in this Living Intentions bundle really hit the mark when it comes to taste! No joke, the Hemp & Greens cereal is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I ate the entire bag in one sitting! It’s packed with greens so you wouldn’t know it to look at it (I mean, green cereal can look a little weird, I know), but you’ll be shocked at how good it is.
Their two versions of Gone Nuts have SO much flavor. They’re actually a little spicy; I don’t like wicked hot, but these are just right. The sprouted pumpkin seeds have great saltiness to them so I use them as a snack straight out but you can also put them into a salad or mix them with dried fruits like goji berries and cacao nibs for a super-health trail mix.
I know, I’m going on and on, but that’s how good this stuff is! Lastly there’s the Original Salad Booster – this is really cool. When you’re making a salad, even though the raw veggies are nutritious, this is packed with things like spirilina and chlorella that you wouldn’t normally get that are so essential. It’s like a grain with nice salty, briny kick to it that gives a serious boost to your salad. You can also put it into raw soups, on top of sprouted grains…lots of stuff.
Once you get a taste of these, I’m sure you’ll come up with a lot of other ideas for how to use them!
Ive posted this recipe from my new book, Raw Food for Everyone, before but…Its worth repeating!
If you don’t have Burdock Root, you can get it online or at a health food store as dried pieces. You just steep it like a tea and add the rest of the ingredients. YUMMY!!!!

Ok here’s the recipe:

Burdock Root is a powerful anti-inflammatory herbal tea. A mildly bitter herb, it also stimulates the release of gastric juices and aids digestion.
Shilajit is considered the king herb of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine. Shilajit contains at least 85 minerals in ionic form. Shilajit is a Sanskrit word meaning “conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness.” It is a mineral-rich humus (soil) that emanates from the crevices of the Himalayan mountains. Shilajit is truly a remarkable substance with a long history of human usage for healing, building, and rejuvenation.
Combine burdock tea and shilajit powder with these other ingredients to take the place of your morning coffee.
1 cup brewed burdock root tea
1 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon shilajit powder
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Combine all ingredients in a vita-mix or blender until frothy and warm from blending. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon if desired.
