The Benefits of Coconut Water

Written by Darcy Smith - Posted on 8 October 2015

The Benefits of Coconut Water

Just finished a workout and ready to reach for your water bottle? Consider reaching for coconut water instead! Not only is coconut water the ultimate thirst quencher, but it also delivers a wealth of other health benefits – and it’s delicious!

Here’s why we stock up on coconut water every chance we get:

Hydration

H20 alone doesn’t equal hydration – your body needs natural salts known as electrolytes to stay hydrated and balanced. Coconut water is 95% water, but it’s the other 5% that makes this beverage stand out. Potassium, sodium, and magnesium are the most important electrolytes, and they are abundant in coconut water. If you’re exercising, sweating (hello, heat wave), or simply struggling to pack enough fruits and veggies into your day, coconut water is an excellent way to ensure your body gets those essential electrolytes. And unlike sports drinks, you’re skipping all the added sugars and artificial flavors.

Nutrient Boost

Coconut water contains a lot of nutrients that help our bodies thrive, such as:

A range of vitamins (especially the B vitamins),
Minerals
Trace elements, including: zinc, selenium, iodine, sulfur, and manganese

B vitamins are necessary for your cells to produce energy, so if you feel fatigue coming on, a coconut water might be just what you need!

Potassium

This essential mineral keeps your brain, heart, and nervous system in working order. One serving of coconut water has as much potassium as a banana – about 13% of your daily potassium needs. Drink up!

Light on the Calories

Sure, plain water might be 100% calorie free, but coconut water is a pretty light on the calories too, with just 42 calories per 240 g serving. It’s also low in sugar. Coconut water may taste sweet, but it’s all natural sugar. Be sure to check the label before you buy though – some brands of Coconut water may use added sugars.

Antioxidants

We’re used to finding antioxidants in vibrantly coloured things – think the deep red hue of pomegranate juice – but did you know they’re also hanging out in your coconut water? And since antioxidants help prevent the damage caused by free radicals, that’s a pretty great thing to have hanging out in your drink!

Healthy Blood Pressure

Proper electrolyte balance supports a healthy cardiovascular system. Coconut water supplies the important electrolytes that help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.*

Healthy Weight Loss

Coconut water is an excellent complement to a healthy weight loss program. You can drink a lot without worrying about added pounds. Plus, it’s more likely to leave you feeling full and satisfied than water. It’s the perfect option for mixing with PGX, too!

Great Taste

Coconut water is delicious on its own, but it’s also a great way to add a little tropical flavour – and a few extra nutrients – to your smoothies by subbing it for water.
Coconut water is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and replenished. Now that you know it’s key to healthy hydration, how will you be adding it to your fitness routine?

Foods That are Great for Your Metabolism

Written by Patience Lister - Posted on 1 October 2015

Foods That are Great for Your Metabolism

Your metabolism fuels everything from exercise and digestion, to building and repairing muscle tissue. It’s a chemical process that works non-stop to keep you alive and healthy. Because your metabolism is powered by food, eating a healthy diet is a key aspect of keeping it up to speed. The following foods make great additions to your diet:

High Fibre Foods

Fibre is great for your metabolism on multiple levels. Soluble fibre, such as that found in PGX®* Daily Singles, beans, and many fruits, absorbs water during digestion. This extends the feeling of fullness and slows the absorption of carbohydrates to support healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range. † Insoluble fibre, such as that found in many vegetables and the intact bran and germ of whole grains, feeds intestinal microflora and supports digestive health.

Yogurt

As with other probiotic-rich foods, the good bacteria from yogurt helps to replenish the microflora of your digestive tract. Maintaining a healthy gut microflora supports the absorption of key nutrients, such as calcium and iron, and supplies energy.

Coconut Oil

The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut oil are a healthy fat that help you feel full and satisfied. They also supply a dense source of energy that your body can metabolize efficiently.

Stimulating Foods

Some foods are more stimulating than others. Hot chilies, cayenne, paprika, and pepper can add a pungent kick to your meals to stimulate digestive juices and heat you up. Green tea is also a satisfying way to load up on polyphenols, as well as a gentle dose of caffeine.

Water

Whether you are an athlete or not, water is vital to your body’s performance and energy. Drink enough water – or other healthy fluids – to keep your thirst down, energy up, and metabolism charged.

What to do With all That Fresh Fruit!

Written by Patience Lister - Posted on 11 August 2015

What to do With all That Fresh Fruit!

Melons, plums, blueberries, peaches, strawberries, nectarines, grapes – it’s easy to get carried away in the summer when so many local fruits are fresh and perfectly ripe. While most fruits taste best when eaten at their peak, they do have a tendency to spoil quickly in the warm summer air, leaving you to wonder – what can I do with all this fresh fruit?!

Here are 4 tips for enjoying your fresh fruit for as long as possible:

1. Handle With Care

Every bruise, scratch, or bruise in your fruit will make it more susceptible to spoilage and off taste. Handle your fruit carefully, and avoid the temptation to check its ripeness by squeezing it!

2. Store in a Cool Location

Storing fruit in the low-humidity section of your refrigerator will slow the ripening process and deter the growth of yeasts and molds that accelerate spoilage. Keep your fruit covered or in its packaging to help maintain freshness and prevent damage.

3.Wash it Right Before Eating

Fruit should always be washed to remove unwanted chemicals, dirt, and insects – but wait to give it a good rinse until you’re ready to actually eat it. Washing fruit too early can increase the rate of mold growth, and decrease its shelf life.

4. Freeze Into Smoothie Packs

As hard as you try, fruit can only last so long. But don’t fret – whatever you can’t eat now can be washed, cut, and frozen into single serving smoothie packs. Speed up your prep and boost the flavor and nutritional value of your *PGX® smoothies all year round!

Blueberry Mint Smoothie

Ingredients

2 scoops of Chocolate Vegan RealEasy with PGX
5 mint leaves
½ cup blueberries
100 mL of almond milk (or milk alternative)
250 mL of water

Procedure

Measure liquid, mint leaves, and blueberries and pour into a blender. Add 2 scoops of Double Chocolate SlimStyles® Meal Replacement Drink Mix, then secure the lid and blend until ingredients are well mixed.

What’s your favourite fruit to eat this summer? Let us know how you keep it fresh in the comments section below.

*Drink additional water (8 fl. oz.) after ingesting PGX®. If you are taking medications, take one hour prior to or two hours after taking PGX®.

Directions: Measure 250 mL sparkling water and 250 mL regular water into a blender. Add 1 pitted peach and 2 scoops of French Vanilla SlimStyles Meal Replacement Drink Mix. Secure lid and blend until mixed well.

4. Lime Shandy

When your summer social calls for an alcoholic cocktail, but you want to keep it light and hydrating, make a shandy.

Directions: Combine the juice from 3 freshly juiced limes with 500 mL (2 cups) of sparkling water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup until dissolved. Combine with your favorite pale lager in a 1:1 ratio. Add ice, a slice of lime, and enjoy. For a virgin shandy use non-alcoholic beer.

3 Ways to Boost Your Salad

Written by Darcy Smith - Posted on 16 July 2015

3 Ways to Boost Your Salad

Whoever said you can’t make friends with salad? Salad is the perfect – and perfectly nutritious! – way to fill up your tummy when it’s just too hot to turn on the oven. While not all salads are created equal (iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing, we’re looking at you), with a little help your greens can quickly become gourmet!

Try these three tasty ways to boost your salad:

1. Load Your Base

Leafy Greens

Salad doesn’t have to be a few leaves of bland iceberg lettuce with a couple of cherry tomatoes! For a hearty base try using an assortment of greens such as: lettuce, spinach, arugula, baby kale, or beet greens. For a little spice, mustard greens make a fantastic addition!

Veggies

Layer those greens with a variety of your favourite fresh veggies. Elevate the old standard of tomatoes and cucumber by adding shredded carrots, fresh peas, and radish, or try cooked veggies such as steamed beets or sautéed zucchini.

Herbs

For added flavour, experiment with your favourite herbs. If they’re fresh, even better! Add herbs such as basil, parsley, mint, cilantro, dill, or chives for an incredibly fragrant, flavorful salad.

Fruit

For a summery take on salad, try fresh fruits: berries, chopped apple, orange slices, or avocado.

2. Dress It Up

Packaged dressings are often calorie bombs full of added salt, sugar, preservatives, and unhealthy fats. Whipping up your own takes just a few minutes and gives you the benefit of fresh ingredients and added nutrients. Try this healthy Lemon Vinaigrette to support your metabolism – and dress up a delicious salad.

For a creamier dressing without all the bad stuff, mix up some homemade guacamole or hummus and thin with water. Or, go super simple with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, topped with a dusting of nutritional yeast.

3. Top if Off

From dried fruit to toasted nuts, salad toppers are a great way to add crunch – and extra nutrients – to your salads.

Legumes

Chickpeas are a protein-packed addition to any salad – try them cooked and cooled, or even roasted! Don’t stop at chickpeas: mix and match legumes such as lentils and kidney, navy or black beans.

Cheese

Because who doesn’t love cheese! While you want to avoid loading your salad with grated cheddar, cheese can be a great way to add a little protein, healthy fat, and flavour. Toss in a few spoonfuls of crumbled feta or goat cheese to add a touch of tang to your salad.

Nuts & Seeds

Pecans, walnuts and almonds add nutrients along with a satisfying crunch to any gourmet garden greens.

Seeds, such as chia, flax, hemp and sunflower, are sources of healthy omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, amino acids, fibre, and important vitamins and minerals. A little goes a long way, so you can add plenty of nutrients with just a sprinkle.

Protein

Power up your salad with lean proteins such as salmon, tuna, or grilled chicken. Looking for a meat-free option that still packs a protein punch? Boiled eggs are an excellent way to take any salad off the sidelines to the main event.

These tips should help you get the creative juices flowing in the kitchen. We’d love to know – what are your favourite ways to boost your salad?

Top 3 Healthy Food Swaps

Written by Patience Lister - Posted on 2 July 2015

Top 3 Healthy Food Swaps

What’s more important, a healthy diet or enjoying what you eat? Thankfully, you don’t have to choose. It’s easy to boost the nutritional value of your meals without giving up the foods you love. Swapping your regular fare for something that offers greater health benefits and a similar culinary experience is a great way to kick your diet up a notch. Get started now with these top three healthy food swaps:

Swap 1: Granola for Muesli

Granola is not as healthy as it looks. The high sugar content of most store bought brands is enough to qualify them as dessert. Instead, fill your morning hunger with unsweetened muesli. The wholesome mix of raw nuts, seeds, and oats will up your fibre intake, while the dried fruit will satisfy your sweet tooth without added sweeteners. To further boost your morning fibre intake, sprinkle PGX^® granules onto your muesli.*

Swap 2: Ranch Dressing for Balsamic and Olive Oil

It doesn’t make sense to top nutritious greens with a dressing that’s high in sodium and contains artificial flavors and preservatives. Instead, swap that bottle of ranch for an exquisite mix of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil – a big player in the Mediterranean diet. If you’re not a fan of olive oil, try homemade tzatziki or guacamole.

Swap 3: Barbecued Burger for Prawn Skewers

It’s hard to beat the smell of a sizzling summer barbecue. But instead of flipping burgers, add prawn skewers to your menu this season. Prawns are low in fat and calories while providing an elite source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and the antioxidant astaxanthin.

Adding variety to your diet is good for your body and soul. How else can you improve your meals? Let us know in the comments section below.

*Note: Drink additional water (8 fl. oz.) after ingesting PGX. If you are taking medications, take one hour prior to or two hours after taking PGX.

Berry Power: Keep your joints and muscles ready for action

Benefits of Berries

It’s hard to beat the colors, flavors, and amazing health benefits of berries! Whether you favor cranberries, strawberries, bilberries, or even Saskatoon berries, these little powerhouses can help keep your muscles and joints ready for action. Here are four reasons to add berries to your spring menu.

Muscle recovery. Researchers at Massey University in New Zealand found that athletes who drank a blueberry smoothie before and after exercising needed less time for their muscles to recover.[1] It turns out that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of blueberries helps restore muscle strength faster, making back to back training sessions easier.*
Maintain Healthy Joints . Thanks to their high seed count, raspberries provide 461 mg of joint-friendly omega-3 and -6 polyunsaturated fatty acids per cup.[2] Polyphenols in other berries, including Saskatoons, cherries, and blueberries, can help support healthy joint function.*
Muscle cramps. When your diet is low in potassium, calcium, or magnesium, you’re more susceptible to muscle cramps. A regular dose of berries can help prevent such cramps by replenishing key minerals. For example, one cup of blackberries delivers 233 mg of potassium, 29 mg of magnesium, and 42 mg of calcium.2
Oxidative stress. Whether it’s due to intense bouts of exercise, your environment, or natural aging, your cells deal with oxidative stress every day. Thankfully berries are loaded with antioxidants that help protect your muscles, joints, and many other tissues from the unstable free radicals that cause oxidative stress.*

Add berries and PGX^® Granules to your next smoothie for a filling nutrient rich treat! Leave your muscle and joint-friendly tips in the comments section below.

Recipe: Make a Healthy Sundae!

Written by Darcy Smith - Posted on 6 April 2015

healthy sundae

A healthy sundae recipe?

There’s nothing like the sweeter things in life. A piece of rich dark chocolate can remind you why life is worth living, and there’s no better way to conjure summer than in a slice of pie. But dessert is best served without a side of guilt – and we see no reason why a little indulgence should get in the way of your healthy lifestyle (and vice versa!). In fact, constantly depriving yourself of treats can actually make you more likely to abandon your diet or binge eat. Believe it or not, it’s possible to have your cake and eat it, too, with some simple food swaps.

Try these 6 healthy takes on the classic ice cream sundae:

Base – Sundaes are built around ice cream. Try swapping it out for coconut ice cream, frozen yogurt, homemade banana ice cream, or something else entirely. What I love to do: slice a pear in half, remove the core, poach it for 15 minutes, then sandwich a square of dark chocolate between the two halves to melt. Top with a small scoop of ice cream (or not) for a healthy treat so rich and indulgent your taste buds will do a double take.

Fruit – From raspberries to golden berries, there’s an antioxidant-rich superfood out there for your sundae. Add dried fruit for a concentrated burst of flavor or make your own fruit sauce with no added sugar for a simple superfood sundae.

Sprinkles – Nuts and seeds will add substance, protein, and a wonderful crunch to your dessert. Mix and match your favorite raw nuts with other toppings – think pecans with fresh cherries, or hazelnuts with roasted peaches. Pretty soon you’ll have forgotten that ice cream was ever a part of the occasion (kidding – we all know that’s impossible!). We also love adding coconut curls and cacao nibs for a superfood crunch.

Extras – This might not sound like the tastiest tip, but topping your sundae with a little chia, hempseed, or PGX granules will it out by adding fibre, which in turn will help your body handle the extra sugar and even help you feel full sooner. To take this from good advice to irresistible addition, toss flaxseeds in a drizzle of maple syrup and dehydrate on low temperature. Whole flaxseeds give you fibre – grind them to unlock even more nutrients.

Spices – A hint of vanilla bean, some fragrant all spice, or a dash of cinnamon – spices are great ways to add flavor without adding calories. Cinnamon especially is known for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels already within the normal range, so it’s a great addition to any sweet treat.*

Sauces – Let’s face it, when it comes to sundaes, ice cream is just a (delicious) vehicle for chocolate sauce and caramel. Look for healthy versions of these decadent toppings – like cacao nibs, or melted high quality organic dark chocolate. You can do amazing things with dates – like make your own caramel or fudge sauce.

Healthy Caramel Sauce

½ cup dates

½ cup almond, cashew, or coconut milk (or regular milk)

¼ tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt

1 ½ tbsp. cocoa powder (for fudge sauce)

Blend equal parts dates and milk of choice (for this recipe, ½ cup of each, but you can easily adjust to make more or less – this is a very forgiving recipe) with vanilla extract and pinch of salt.

Transfer to a saucepan and heat on low for 5-10 minutes, until it reduces to half the original volume (about ½ a cup).

If you’re going for straight caramel sauce, you’re ready to go. If it’s fudge sauce you’re looking for, stir in cocoa powder.

Serving suggestion: Drizzle warm over ice cream, fresh fruit, oatmeal, or yogurt and top with chopped nuts.

Looking for a healthy precursor to your sundae? Explore the PGX recipe page for yummy options to suit any time of day.

Recipe: Make Ahead Smoothies!

Written by Darcy Smith - Posted on 25 March 2015

Quick and Easy

Smoothies are meant to be a quick, easy solution to healthy eating. So why does it seem to take longer to make a smoothie than to fry up a full bacon and egg breakfast? Cutting down on precious minutes spent washing and chopping fruit and veg will free up more time for a workout – or maybe just hitting the snooze button once more.

Save Time

To save time, prepare smoothie packs in advance for easy mornings and quick healthy snacks. Not only will you have a healthy meal at the flick of a switch, freezing your fruit and veg in advance helps keep your food waste down and your nutrient intake up (especially when it comes to those browning bananas). As a bonus, the frozen goodies mean you won’t be adding ice, which just waters down the vibrant flavours of this healthy fuel.

Just follow these 3 simple steps for make-ahead smoothie success:

Prep your fruit: We love berries for the antioxidants, and bananas are the mainstay of many yummy smoothies. Let your creativity – and fruit bowl – be your guide and add mango, peaches, watermelon, pears, grapes, apples, and citrus, as you like.
Add greens: You won’t even notice that handful of spinach or kale. If green smoothies are your thing, get experimental with cucumber, celery, and more. Mint added to a cucumber-watermelon smoothie is to die for.
Freeze: Once your smoothie selections are washed and chopped, bag them in a medium Ziploc freezer bag and store until you’re ready.

Now, your early morning smoothie prep consists of emptying a freezer bag into the blender with 2-3 cups of liquid and any extra ingredients. Blend until smooth, and enjoy!

Liquids we love:

Dairy free milk (almond, soy, or maybe cashew for a creamier smoothie)
Coconut water
Milk or yogurt
Chilled herbal or green tea
Fresh pressed juice

Amp up the nutrition with these extra ingredients:

Protein powders
Ground flax seeds, or other fibre supplements
PGX granules*
Chia, hemp, and other seeds
Nut butters
Oatmeal
Spices (cinnamon makes a perfect pairing with nut butter, banana, and dairy milk for a natural protein boost)
