“You are what you eat” seems to be a common phrase tossed around by nutritionists, doctors, and parents alike. If you’re anything like me, this statement could easily act as an encouragement to eat more sweets, that way I’d be a bit sweeter, right? While sounding great in theory, the reality of food’s effect on health, nourishment, energy, and even mood is reason enough to start paying attention to what you’re snacking on.

Superfoods are Super for a Reason

This is where superfoods, such as Pure Moringa Powder, come into play. Superfoods are given the “super” title due to their nutrient-density and subsequent health benefits and capabilities. The nutritional content of food has the ability to develop the foundation of your body’s functionality. For example, many superfoods contain high levels of antioxidants, thought to improve heart health and fend off cancer. Others are rich in fiber, which aids in digestion and might play a role in preventing diabetes. The idea of utilizing whole foods as functional medicine is founded in Ayurvedic tradition and continuously gaining recognition as many people consider the transition from supplements to food to aid in the treatment and prevention of chronic illness.

The extent of these impressive claims led us to wonder: what superfoods can Kuli Kuli bring into the mix to create nutritious and snackable products, while enhancing the existing benefits of our already championed super green, moringa? We’re excited to show you the answer.

How to start using food as functional medicine

wellness shots

This could be an easy two-step process:

Step 1: Begin viewing food as a pathway to optimal health.

Be mindful of the differences and capabilities of particular foods. While each can provide unique benefits, finding the right fit for you and your health is essential. Gaining awareness of the advantages that a daily intake of moringa and other spectrums of superfoods can have, will help this process.

Step 2: Incorporate these foods into your diet!

Discovering nutritious, nutrient-dense, and delicious snacks is one of the easiest ways to move towards a sustainable relationship with food and your body’s health. Take Kuli Kuli’s Green Tea Energy Plus+ wellness shots for example. We listened to the incredible plant-powered possibilities of health-centric food and found that mixing some into a convenient 2.5 oz shot might just do the trick. Superfoods such as ashwagandha, lion’s mane, camu camu, and spirulina are displayed amongst this product line, each providing an array of health benefits. Whether you’re on the go and in dire need of a green and caffeine boost or unwinding from a long day, food as functional medicine can be made easily accessible. 

Four shots you won’t regret in the morning

Each of the Green Tea Energy Plus+ wellness tonics contains a full serving of leafy greens from moringa, naturally energizing green tea, and other botanicals and superfoods to provide daily rejuvenation. The shots come in two caffeinated and two decaffeinated flavors:

ashwagandha

STRESS BE GONE

With hints of honey and chamomile, Stress Be Gone is a recipe for relaxation. This calming tonic incorporates Ashwagandha root, a super herb, and adaptogen that is known to promote temporary stress relief. With these powerful ingredients working together, the feeling of balanced well-being can come in handy at any point in the day. 

 

 

 

camu camu

GET WELL SOON

The Get Well Soon tonic was made for those days when your immune system needs some extra pep in its step. The Camu Camu berry is chock full of Vitamin C and antioxidants varieties that are claimed to display powerful anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. With a reviving citrus flavor, this shot is wellness in it’s most convenient form!

 

 

super greens

DAILY GREEN BOOST

The Daily Green Boost is light and refreshing with the subtle taste of apples and cucumbers. You would never guess that it’s packed full of super greens including spirulina, wheatgrass, spinach, chlorella, and moringa. All five synergistically work together to provide revitalization, a boost of energy, and unmatched antioxidants. 

 

 

 

Lion's ManeFOCUS FOCUS FOCUS

If you say FOCUS three times, it will appear! With some help of course from Lion’s Mane. Displaying both long term and short term effects, this funny-looking mushroom is said to support mental focus and concentration, putting procrastination in its place. The sweet flavor of raspberry and acai make the superfoods go down easy and the energy boost kick in even faster. 

 

 

 

While the benefits of food, particularly superfoods, can seem endless, function forward products are the perfect place to start. Once you begin viewing your food as an opportunity for health, fitness, and a positive state of mind, the opportunities can be beyond beneficial!
