Blend11 is simply a blend of 11 superfoods. Yes, it does look like birdseed, but it is designed as a health food for humans! :)
It is 'like a muesli' but has some major differences to the standard offerings! It is much higher in protein, good fats and is gluten free, containing minimal grains (small amounts of the ancient grains millet & amaranth).
It is designed to be ‘activated’ or soaked overnight to ensure proper digestion & absorption of nutrients and can be easily added to yoghurt, smoothies, protein shakes, bircher muesli’s, balls, bars & slices, etc etc.
All ingredients are chosen for a reason. Everything is organic except the almonds at present.
The idea of soaking is to facilitate the ‘activation’ or germination of some of the seeds, which can otherwise be difficult to digest and gain any nutrition from. This process makes it softer and gentler on the system, increases the available protein, as well as stimulates enzyme release to increase nutrition and digestibility.
Blend11 contains amaranth and millet which are not considered strictly ‘Paleo’.
Millet and Amaranth are gluten free ancient grains, which are well tolerated by most people and eaten by many people following a ‘Paleo-ish’ diet. Many people find it a valuable addition to their primal-inspired eating plan to ensure that daily fibre intake is adequate. Many paleo eaters don’t consume enough fibre to support optimal bowel / digestive health.
NeoBlend ingredients are 100% paleo approved.
It is high in fat (almost 40%) but that does not mean it is fattening.
FAT IN THE DIET DOES NOT EQUATE TO WEIGHT GAIN. Forget about asking ‘is it fattening’ - ask instead ‘is this food nourishing & natural?’ Keep asking that question & you can’t go too far wrong with your diet!
We very often hear of people losing weight after introducing Blend11. If you are still concerned about weight gain, please contact our naturopath jeanie@goodmix.com.au
4 years of selling the product face to face through farmer’s markets has given us a great insight into the ‘side-effects’ of Blend11. This is our most common customer feedback - every single market day. Diverse fibre = diverse gut bacteria = better poos!! There is the odd case which responds differently - but these are so rare that we can still confidently offer the guarantee.
If you are not satisfied with the product and its results, we will happily refund or exchange the product :)
As long as your baby is doing well on a wide variety of solids and you are confident that none of the individual ingredients cause adverse reactions in him / her, you can feed Blend11 (in small quantities) to your baby.
Suggested dosage is 1-2 teaspoons daily (depending on age / size). Always soaked overnight and best blended into a smoothie. Start with a small amount and increase gradually - this is the best way to introduce anything new to bubs!
BallBags
Research shows that everyone responds to sweet foods differently. Some will react strongly to a banana but not a cookie vice-versa. In general, the BallBags are one of the ‘better options’ a diabetic can choose as a sweet treat as the sugars are all from fruit only and are combined with a lot of fibre, good fat & protein which will slow the absorption of sugars into the blood stream.
The Vegan / Whey chocolate BallBags are lower in sugars and higher in protein than the Fruity.
Hmmm. I guess if you ate them to excess in place of ‘a healthy diet’ whilst doing no exercise you may put on a kg or 3, but that would apply to just about anything! They contain good fats, plenty of fibre, protein & antioxidants - all of which can help with staying in shape. If in doubt, eat them either just prior to or just after you exercise - the perfect pre or post workout snack.
