🍵 It's #HNFridayFavorite time! Thomas has chosen Motto Sparkling #Matcha for this week. Thomas has replaced morning coffee with a Hot Matcha Tea and a splash of Unsweetened Almond Milk. Once he gets to work, Sparkling Matcha is calling his name! This carbonated elixir only uses honey and agave as sweetener and has the nutrient equivalent to 12 cups of steeped green tea! This natural caffeine source has the same amount of 1/3 cup of coffee AND helps to keep the body more alkaline. Motto is made to make you feel better and think better. He also recycles the green glass bottles OR uses them for his many plants at home/here at Health Nut Nutrition!
"RAISE your Spirit. REFRESH your Mind. REJUVENATE your Body."
Come enjoy this powerful agent of #Health, #Wellness, and #NaturalEnergy! Thomas won't drink them ALL (this time) 😋 Photography by: Kelly Jo Tomlin
Why We’re Nuts about Cashews (with simple recipe)
High in healthy fats and a great source of protein and fiber, these legumes provide healthy the omega-3 fatty acids (as opposed to saturated animal fats) that help manage cholesterol levels. This helps avoid cardiac arrest, which is one of the leading causes of death in America, despite it being highly preventable through responsible eating.
The omega-3 fatty acids are also critical for fortifying cell membranes (the lipid layer) of brain cells! Pretty rad.
Getting Kids to Eat Vegan (the Struggle is Real)
Maybe it was different for you, but when I was growing up, my parents’ lifestyle didn’t change very much, which for us meant our mealtimes rotated through a catalog of "Standard American Diet" fare: bread, eggs, American cheese singles (individually wrapped in plastic), fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, meatloaf, hamburgers, hot dogs, mac and cheese, salty soups, sugar-laden salad dressings, and so on.
After I had children of my own, my parents (well, my mother mainly) became more aware of diet-related health concerns right around the same time I did as well. But where my mom stopped at Whole 30, I decided to go from quasi-paleo to becoming full-fledged vegan.

It can be challenging, but at Health Nut Nutrition is here to provide the information and products you need to live a more natural, healthy, happy, and productive life.
Let’s make some vegan, grain-free, chocolate hemp brownies
In honor of Hemp History week (June 5-11), we are celebrating this wonderfully nutritious plant by extending a 10 percent discount to all hemp-based products (excluding products already on sale in this month’s flyer).
We love provide our customers with inspiration to experiment with the all-natural food we carry (who says healthy eating can’t be amazing?), and so here is an on-the-fly recipe for how to use two incredible hemp products — Organic Hemp Pro Fiber and Hemp Oil from Manitoba Harvest — to concoct some deliciously vegan, non-psychoactive, grain-free chocolate hemp brownies.
A Fresh Year, A Fresh Location, and Fresh Ways to Live Healthy
New Location, New Opportunities
As we expand into the new store, we couldn't be more excited about the opportunities that a larger space provides. Over the next couple months, we'll be growing into our new space and offering unique ways to connect with you and the greater Lynchburg community:
Millie's Living Cafe: Coming April 17th
We're so excited to introduce Millies Living Cafe to Lynchburg! Millies will offer organic smoothies, raw and vegan food, medicinal teas, and Kombucha on tap.
The Community Room: TBD
On the second floor, we plan on creating a space for workshops on essential oils, soap making, bath products, healthy cooking, yoga, and more. We want to get to know you, educate you, and in some small way, help make your 2015 a healthy and joyful year. We'll let you know when these classes start up.
Expanding Departments
In 2015, we're expanding each major department in some cool ways. We're offering more, high quality supplements like clean, natural, and approved sports supplements. We're increasing our bulk section to include honey, exotic bulk items like culinary spices, medicinal herbs, and more. Our grocery section is expanding to offer better gluten free, allergen free, vegetarian, and vegan food options. You've asked us about many of these products, and we're delighted to finally offer them!
Loyalty Program
Starting January 5th, our loyalty program will be up and running.
Thanks and see you soon!
