Fresh Stone Fruit in Spring From Corporate Essentials

Get ready for warmer weather! It’s the start of the next season. Spring is often associated with sunny days, beautiful flowers, and fresh fruit. Perhaps it’s due to the delicious fruits that are harvested each year. Spring is a great time to get yourself acquainted with any fruits you missed during winter – especially stone fruits! Who knows, maybe you’ll try one you’ve never heard of and it’ll become a new favorite. When fruit is eaten out of season, it can taste less flavorful than it normally tastes during its harvest. That’s why Corporate Essentials works with a local distributor for the fruit we sell. They’re experts in the field of “produce distribution”; in other words, they understand what separates good fruit from the best fruit. When it comes to finding choices that contain the health benefits you need, you want the best available. Trust us, there are plenty of

Rickaroons: The New Standard For Delicious Energy Snacks

The search for a healthy and delicious, dietary friendly energy snack is over! Rickaroons have accomplished the un-accomplishable. Creamy almond butter comes together with real flakes of coconut and ingredients rich in antioxidants. The resulting snack gives you the slow-burning energy you need, while also tasting like a decadent dessert. We also love how the company is family owned and operated. With roots in San Diego, CA, they are the epitome of “teamwork makes the dream work.” The Evolution of the Rickaroon It all started with Rick. As a vegan triathlete in the 80’s, Rick LeBeau created a recipe based off of a macaroon that would give him the energy he needed to power through his workouts. Over the years Rick continued to tinker with the recipe, especially when he began dating a woman with Multiple Sclerosis in the early 2000’s.

The Plant-Based Protein Drink That’s Changing the Game

Millennials have been known to be the “on-the-go” generation, and look for snacks and beverages that fit their lifestyle needs. Ready-to-drink protein shakes have gained traction in the past decade for their portability and health benefits, but they are often loaded with sugars, syrups, and saturated fats that can end up doing more harm to the body than good. The solution: Plant-based protein drink, OWYN – Only What You Need.

What is Kombucha Made Of? (and Why It’s Better on Tap)

Kombucha is having quite a moment. A decade ago, this fizzy fermented beverage was nearly unheard of as a mainstream refreshment. In 2009, Slate called kombucha “the most liberal product in America,” a reference to its niche popularity among health-conscious urbanites. Today, kombucha has become a widely-popular cold drink among individuals of all ages, appreciated for its sweet-and-sour flavor and probiotic health benefits. Trends show that this drink isn’t going anywhere anytime soon; 51 percent of adults ages 25-34 drink kombucha regularly. Year-over-year, analysts expect that the consumption of kombucha will grow 25 percent between now and 2020. Although kombucha may be new to you, it’s actually been around for a while. The drink was first created as a healing elixir in Northeast China over 2,000 years ago. To understand the lasting popularity of this drink and why it’s better on tap, it’s important to understand what kombucha is made
