I checked out her site and was totally excited about what she was doing. I\u2019m a huge fan of raw, organic superfoods and how they help our body heal, recover, and keep healthy. Not to mention, she\u2019s such a sweetie \u2013 I enjoy following her on Instagram. She\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3556\" title=\"Philosphie Products\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Philosphie-Products-510x487.jpg\" alt=\"Philosphie Products\" width=\"510\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Philosphie-Products-510x487.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Philosphie-Products-1024x978.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Philosphie-Products.jpg 1130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sophie sent me a couple of her superfood blends and they aaamaaazing. I feel awesome after one of her shakes because it totally fuels up my \u201cenergy\u201d tank!<\/p>\n<p>Why the superfood blend is absolute genius:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Convenience. Just add 1-2 Tablespoons of the blend to your smoothie (or more!) instead of different measurements from each one\u2026the work is already done.<\/li>\n<li>Saves money. No need to purchase all the superfoods separately anymore.<\/li>\n<li>Highest Antioxidant scoring of any food on the PLANET.<\/li>\n<li>Completely Organic<\/li>\n<li>100% Raw &amp; Vegan<\/li>\n<li>Certified Fair-Trade<\/li>\n<li>Promotes weight loss (for anyone replacing one smoothie as a meal)<\/li>\n<li>Increases natural energy gain (no caffeine)<\/li>\n<li>Helps with mental clarity and focus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brilliant, right?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3553\" title=\"Green Dream Philosophie  02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Green-Dream-Philosophie-02-399x600.jpg\" alt=\"Green Dream Philosophie  02\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Green-Dream-Philosophie-02-399x600.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Green-Dream-Philosophie-02.jpg 719w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ever since I got the superfoods, I\u2019ve been a fanatic of the <a title=\"Superfoods\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thephilosophie.com\/superfood-blends\" target=\"_blank\">Green Dream blend<\/a>. It contains spirulina, fresh vanilla pod, raw vegan sprouted protein powder (hemp), maca (balances mood, high in iron and protein), tocos (vit.E), chia seeds, mesquite and chlorella. I\u2019ve also been feeling under the weather lately (fighting a cold) so this was the PERFECT thing to help heal me up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3551\" title=\"Cacao Magic Philosophie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cacao-Magic-Philosophie-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"Cacao Magic Philosophie\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cacao-Magic-Philosophie-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cacao-Magic-Philosophie.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also been loving the <a title=\"Blends\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thephilosophie.com\/superfood-blends\" target=\"_blank\">Cacao Magic blend<\/a>.

I\u2019m a true chocolate lover.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s awesome because it has Chinese medicinal mushrooms- reishi, cordyceps, chaga, maca, cacao powder &amp; nibs, chia seeds, tocos and fresh vanilla.
