One of the most common questions a plant-based eater gets. I think it's odd that we identify ourselves by our diet. I wonder why it is so important to other's what we eat? It is because food is such a central part to our ideas of being social? We just love being able to categorize people by labels. First world problems. I guess it makes it easier on our brain to lump people into groups than to have to consider each person for the individual they are. Random thoughts...
I decided to look up one of the ingredients in Shakeology. I drink it pretty much everyday—I just know it tastes good, it's good for me and I love the stuff! It makes my mornings so much easier. I wake up, workout, have my shake. My day is planned already thru breakfast. No thinking necessary. I love being on autopilot. Not only does it feel like a daily treat- icy cold sweet deliciousness, it helps curb my cravings and keeps me going til lunch. It is full of so much good stuff. I thought, "Hey, I should find out about what's in it!"
To be honest, I'm not a fact and figures type of person. I just want to know 1. Is it good for me? 2. Does it taste good? I chose to read up on one of the many ingredients, moringa. The leaves are rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and minerals. Moringa cultivation is becoming widespread in Honduras and is being supported by the government. It is being cultivated in Niger as a primary source of food and nutrients. Sounds like a good thing to me!
