I am really excited to be giving away one of my favorite supplements - Tropical Traditions Antioxidant Omega-3 Greens.
I have tried both Mint and Berry (with and without licorice), and my favorite is the Berry. The winner will be able to choose their favorite flavor.

Do you eat enough vegetables?
If you’re like me and most other Americans, you probably don’t get 5-9 servings a day.
This is why I was interested in trying Tropical Traditions’ Antioxidant Omega-3 “Berry” Greens.

Due to the strong antioxidant activity, the omega-3′s (DHA, EPA) are not easily oxidized like they are in flax seeds which don’t contain antioxidants.
Here is a breakdown of nutrients that you will find in one serving (2 TBSP) of chia seeds… Continue reading
