In yesterday's FreshMail article, I encouraged you to consider eating more whole, unprocessed foods this year; a simple resolution that is really easy to keep. After all, you can define “more” any way you choose.

That was my exclamation as we unloaded the big organic produce order, complete with two cases of the most plump, red, beautiful organic cranberries I’ve ever laid eyes on. As Freshlife’s little baker, I immediately had visions of the orange cranberry muffins, white chocolate cranberry bars, and pumpkin cranberry cookies I could create.

Rich in Omega-3's and loaded with fiber, there's no need to turn on the oven or stove to make these tasty treats. Perfect for lunch boxes and after school snacks, you'll find all the ingredients at Freshlife. (And you don't have to be a raw foodie or a kid to enjoy them!)

As summer marches on, the Freshlife produce cases continue to overflowing with local, chemical-free vegetables. If you love broccoli salad but want to skip the mayo and bacon bits – here's a vegan recipe that's long on flavor and rich in fiber and nutrients.

Have you seen the chia seed display at Freshlife and taken advantage of the new low price? As a FreshMail reader, I hope this series has helped you to realize the many ways these little seeds can improve your health and vitality. I hope you'll stop by soon and pick up a package of chia.

I think I am addicted to chia seeds!

In the latest issue of Options magazine, (now available at Freshlife and on line at www.Freshlife.com), I expound on all the virtues of this wonderful super food.
