You have been asking for it, and it has finally arrived.

Sun Warrior has just released their new Raw Vegan Protein called Sun Warrior Warrior Blend.

The original Sun Warrior Raw Vegan protein used fermented brown rice protein as its protein source.  It was and still is one of the best vegan protein available on the market today.  That said, there is a lot of value in mixing up your protein sources and getting a different amino acid spectrum.

The New Warrior Food protein utilizes Pea, Hemp, Cranberry and Coconut proteins to give you a new a completely new and somewhat complex blend of vegan plant based proteins from both grains, vegetables and fruit.

Taste-  For those of you that need a good tasting protein powder, rest assured, its still Sun Warrior, meaning everything Sun Warrior makes tastes pretty good.  Based upon personal testes and customer reviews, all Sun Warrior proteins tastes as good or better than any of the competitors.

Absorbability-  Still raw and still all vegan sources of protein mean the absorbability is also still through the roof and might higher than your traditional forms of protein.  At the end of the day if you can’t absorb it, it doesn’t count!

Nutritional Vibrancy-  Sourced from high quality raw sources and sticking to their commitment of the highest quality nutritional ingredients, Sun Warrior Warrior blend achieves our highest mark in the nutritional vibrancy category for proteins.

All in all if your looking for a great Raw or Vegan protein source, Warrior blend would be right near the top of our list.  Or, if your looking to mix up your amino acids from your normal rice, pea or hemp proteins, this would also be a great alternative.

And of course you can pick up Sun Warrior Warrior Blend at the discounted price in our store at any time.

To your health,

From October 2nd to October 8th, you can watch the full length Food Matters video.  They are accepting donations as well to help support the film and the movement, but it is not necessary.  Be sure to spread this information and get it to everyone you know.

From the Food Matters website:

As summarized on the Food Matters’ website, by watching this film you will get answers to the following questions, and straight facts on:

• How you can use food as medicine
• Who needs vitamins?
• Is organic really better?
• How safe is your food?
• Foods that fight anxiety and depression
• Natural therapies for cancer
• Which drugs might do more harm than good?
• The best ways to detox, lose weight and keep it off! 

Food Matters really delivers a well-rounded view of the elements required for health, starting with the food supply itself, and the devastating effects modern food manufacturing has had on the quality of our food. Soil depletion is a direct result of modern agricultural practices, and has led to crops containing fewer nutrients. The answer, of course, lies in reverting back to organic and sustainable agriculture. The largest study conducted into organic food confirmed that the idea that organically grown foods are healthier for you is not wishful fantasy. It’s a fact.

That four-year long study discovered that:

• Organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40 percent more antioxidants
• Organic produce had higher levels of beneficial minerals like iron and zinc
• Milk from organic herds contained up to 90 percent more antioxidants

When evaluating food and nutrition it’s also imperative to understand what happens to the nutrient content of a food when it is processed, and the potential harm that can be caused by added chemicals. Our food stores are filled to the brim with ultra-processed foods that not only contain ingredients grown in depleted, pesticide-laden soils to begin with, but are further depleted of real nutrients through processing; in the end providing very little beyond empty calories.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer int he world and the leading cause of cancer related death in women.  The virus: Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) is common in humans but rarely causes disease. Researchers are currently trying to learn how the virus attacks and destroys the cancer cells so they can potentially duplicate the same effect in a theraputic.

Professor of microbiology and immunology, Craig Meyers is quoted as saying “Because it has multiple stages, you can’t treat all the women the same. Currently, treatment of breast cancer is dependent on multiple factors such as hormone-dependency, invasiveness and metastases, drug resistance and potential toxicities. Our study shows that AAV2, as a single entity, targets all different grades of breast cancer.”

Promising outlook for cancer, but still begs the question, why not focus more on just how to not get it in the first place?……

Recently I had the opportunity to chat with one of the founders of Sunwarrior Protein, Mr. Nick “Raw Natureboy” Stern.

Nick comes from a background in Real Estate and professional bodybuilding which makes him pretty much the exact opposite of your traditional raw foodist….and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is a great interview in which we cover some of Nick’s background and his path to health as well as how Sunwarrior itself came about and where they are headed.  We get to talk a bit about their new protein coming out and of course share a few laughs along the way.

Apologies for the multiple parts, but it’s a long interview!

Enjoy!
