For those of us who overindulged during the holidays, our bellies may be screaming for relief. Luckily, there’s GoodBelly, a juicy, delicious drink that contains live, active probiotic cultures to help get your digestion in good shape. These drinks are organic, dairy-free, soy-free and vegan. Best of all, they taste just like a refreshing juice drink, all while settling upset tummies. Enjoy!
We all know that with increased exercise comes an increased need for hydration, and for those of us vowing to move more in 2012, it’s important that we remain vigilant about our water intake. While all water works for keeping thirst at bay, one of our favorite bottled waters on the market right now is Penta.
As I was thinking about new year’s resolutions this season, I stumbled across the following description of one of my favorite cheeses, Piave Vecchio: “…named ‘extra old’ for its extra time in the cellar — an investment that pays off in a rock-hard body glistening with a deep golden tan.”
Did you know that today’s well-known Kombucha drink is actually a natural folk remedy that has been in existence for more than 2,000 years? It got its name from a Korean physician, Dr. Kombu, who treated Emperor Inkyo with this fermented tea or “Cha” from China, thus Kombu + Cha = Kombucha.
After the holidays, we all look for ways to eat healthier — and let’s be honest, we all enjoy a snack. Keep your snacking healthy this season by loading up on delicious fruit treats. Wawona frozen fruit from Fresno has been grown on a family farm for more than 60 years. Their fresh-frozen fruit is hand picked at the peak of ripeness and processed within 24 hours to capture that fresh-fruit taste. When fresh peaches and strawberries are out of season, you can still find them in these frozen bags.
After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s time to relieve some stress. New Chapter Perfect Calm is a great, organic, whole-food multi-vitamin with added organic herbs that can help calm stress.
Keona Noble submitted one entry form during our giveaway contest, and her entry form was the winner, randomly selected from more than 30,000 submitted entries both on-line and at each Nugget Market.
In celebration of our 85th anniversary, we held the gift card contest from September 28 through December 28th, 2011, and Noble’s winning entry form was selected on January 1, 2012.
“Nugget in West Sacramento is my favorite grocery store!” says Noble. “Everyone is so welcoming every time I visit, and I even know most of the associates on a first-name basis. I love Nugget Market!”
John Sullivan, the store director of the West Sacramento Nugget Market, was thrilled to hear the news that a frequent West Sacramento guest was the $8,500 gift card winner. “What a pleasure it is to serve the West Sacramento community, and all of us at the store are beyond excited to know that ‘one of our own’ was the lucky winning guest!” said Sullivan.
Thank you to all who entered the contest and helped us celebrate our 85th Anniversary!
So it’s the New Year, and we’re all trying to lose those extra holiday pounds, right? And, if you’re like me, this year (just like every other year) you’ve vowed to cut out all fatty foods (including cheese), reduce your portion sizes and eat a bland diet of brown rice, lean protein and copious amounts of vegetables. Sound familiar?
There’s nothing like starting out the New Year with a win! Congratulations to our lucky Holiday Gift winner, Mary Voorhees of Davis! Mary is now the proud owner of a seven-piece Le Creuset cookware set valued at nearly $500. Known for its bold colors and exceptional performance, this prize is sure to bring good times in the kitchen for Mary! Thank you to all who entered!
