Now is the Time for You: Introducing Healing Mix

August 22, 2014 By Lena

My cup runneth over. I have more than enough for my needs; good health, a roof over my head, and copious amounts of love, luck and laughter. I’m constantly on the go – I travel with my family, act as the official school chauffeur, am a grocery store ninja and work at all hours of day (and sometimes night). Often, friends and family will say to me, “You’re a machine! How do you do it all?” And I’ll smile, and say I enjoy being busy.

But the truth is, I’m tired all the time. In fact, from the moment I gave birth to Ryder six years ago, I’ve never felt truly rested. First, it was the stress of post pregnancy – nighttime feedings, hormonal imbalances, and postpartum blues that ebbed and flowed for almost a year. Then, it was keeping up with a feisty, curious toddler… while caring for his newborn baby brother. And later, it was balancing both boys and my inhuman drive to succeed – and while it’s been great for business, there have been casualties along the way: my health, stamina, diet, energy… you could say I’m constantly juggling a few too many balls in the air.

Does this sound familiar? I’m so pleased to introduce you to Now for Mothers Healing Mix, a Superfood for ALL moms taken from the first day of giving birth continuously for up to six years afterwards. Healing Mix is a natural and organic recovery formula that conveniently and safely provides mothers with a solution to the exhaustion they feel after pregnancy. It is the perfect solution for mothers who are looking for a healthy way to boost their energy after a sleepless night. In fact, the satiation factor is so high that it proves to be a healthy meal replacement aid, when juggling time becomes difficult, without requiring any preparation. It is a good source of nutrients and healthy fats that help regulate hormonal balance as well as promote healthy brain development in newborns during breastfeeding.

Clearly, it’s a fabulous way to boost a mom’s post-pregnancy health. But why is it particularly effective for moms, even years after giving birth? The continuous benefits of Healing Mix includes:

– Stimulates energy flow and increases metabolism
– Stabilizes blood sugar levels for sustained energy
– Assists in reducing congestion and phlegm in the body
– Aids in flushing toxins from the system

Bonus: You can take Healing Mix any way you like. Take it on its own or with a warm beverage; sprinkle it on oatmeal or a healthy cereal. You can even mix it in a smoothie or yogurt (my fave). The choice is yours.

Healing Mix is available at Loblaw Companies Stores across Canada (Atlantic Superstore, Extra Foods, Loblaws, Loblaw Greatfood, Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaw Superstore and Zehrs). Click here to find a retailer.

Want to learn more? We’re sharing the scoop (pun intended) at the @NowForMothers #HealingMix Twitter Party on Tuesday, August 26th at 8:00pm ET. To thank you for joining the conversation, we’ll be giving away 6 x $50 Loblaw Companies Gift Cards , and a GRAND PRIZE of a $250 Loblaw Companies Gift Card!

Get Nutrition Naturally with Dempsters #Giveaway

April 28, 2013 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

We’ve all played the game before. You know; the one where you discuss the improbable fate of being hooked up to an electric chair, and revealing what you last meal would be.

Fried chicken? Pizza? Macaroni and cheese? What comfort food would you turn to?

Myself? I’ve already made a list of the top 5 foods I’d request. (Don’t worry, I haven’t committed a heinous crime.)

1. A Croque Monsieur; a simple yet magical mix of ham, cheese and toasted bread. Served with a green salad.

2. A Club Sandwich; applewood smooked bacon and tender chunks of chicken breast layered between tangy mayo. (With fries, of course.)

3. A Smoked Meat on Rye; with just enough yellow mustard and a kosher pickle on the side.

4. A Miami Sandwich; my own creation (and an award-winning one to boot!) – I’d likely ask if I could make it myself.

5. A Fish Banh Mi; Vietnamese grilled catfish infused with turmeric and slow cooked with dill and green onion.

Notice a trend? YES, I love a good sandwich. In fact, I can say with confidence that the humble sandwich is my favourite kind of food in the entire world. And certainly, a worthy last meal if I was leaving said world. Bread, bread, bread. Carbs, carbs, carbs. Comfort, comfort, comfort.

So is it any real surprise that one of my favourite brands evah is Dempsters?

Every loaf of Dempster’s bread is made with 100% Canadian wheat and baked fresh daily – making it the perfect base for a delicious, satisfying sandwich. And, did you know that 1 slice of Dempsters WholeGrains bread contains this? ->>

(I know. I didn’t think Dempsters WholeGrains could get better either, until I saw the breakdown. And now I’m on cloud 9; because I know that the taste and texture that I love is also pretty awesome for me, too.)

When you visit Naturally Dempsters you’ll have access to a wealth of delicious recipes – including step-by-step video instructions from Dempster’s resident celebrity culinary genius Chef Bob Villeneuve. How about a 12 Grain Spinach-Strawberry and Goat Cheese Sandwich? Or an Asparagus Benedict?

Me – I’m partial to a Spinach and Leek Chicken Salad Sandwich. Yum!
