Do you know our cinnamon story? When we started testing our products for glyphosate a few years ago, we were shocked to find a significant amount of glyphosate in the organic cinnamon we were buying. We now test all our products for glyphosate and 400 other pesticides and toxins to ensure every product we have is made with the purest foods possible.

Slowing down is an art. 2020 revealed a lot to us. For many, it was jarring to slow down and pivot from a breakneck pace. For others, it was a dream come true to live in workout gear, order in food, and never leave home again. All of us have realized at some point that maintaining one's mental health and self-care was going to be a critical element for living through a pandemic.
Even as this year ends, the need to create self-care habits is not over.
You are worthy of self-care rituals.
Grab a paper and pen and jot down ten things that give you life, a sense of calm, and joy.
Is it baking?
A bath?
Yoga in the backyard?
A book in bed with cookies?
A walk and a podcast?
A nightly tea ritual?
Whatever is on your list, tape that list somewhere to see it and commit to giving yourself time throughout the day where you practice your ritual.
As a health coach, I believe that self-care isn't an event; it is a practice that is tended to and maintained.
Despite the hardships of this year, I believe that you are meant to thrive.

Sometimes we simply need quick, healthy nourishment and our fruit bars offer just that on their own.

2020 has been a year to remember. It's been stressful; anxiety has risen in all, and stress levels have gone through the roof. Slowing down is hard at any age, and our friend Aubrie has had a challenging year as well as all of us, and she is teaching us a couple of ways to slow down.
• Order in food from a local restaurant.
• Read a new book.
• Write in a journal.
• Draw/ crafts all day.
• Try a new face mask.
• And lastly, a BATH!
A bath is relaxing to the mind, helps alleviate pain, helps our mental health, and makes us happy! This bath was drawn with 1/2 cup oats and 1 tablespoon lavender—great way to start the week after any occasion.
What's your favorite way to slow down?

When it comes to choosing a protein powder, consumers are looking for clean protein to complement their already healthy lifestyle choices. @cleanlabelproject tested 134 of the top-selling protein powders for how clean they were. They saw elevated levels of heavy metals in both organic and conventional plant-based powders, including Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury as well as BPA leaching from packaging into the finished product. Find more details from the link in our bio.
Did you know ZEGO has the only protein powder that provides you testing to verify our product is pure and safe for you to eat in addition to being free of nuts, soy, dairy and gluten? We believe all food should have purity verification that you can see.
At ZEGO, we believe our customers have the power to change the food industry for the better. To do that, you need insider knowledge, like the problem of toxins in protein, so you can demand cleaner food. We want to provide you this information and a platform to project your voice. We aim to change the culture of the food industry — establishing your right to know what’s in your food — so it better supports you, your community, and our planet.

It's been a tough year, and we have all had to let go of many of the activities we love.
For me, it's book club. I love everything about it. The nervous feeling of excitement I get when the next book is selected, the rich discussion and silly debate. I also love the wine, but most of all, I love the community.
I can't be with my sweet friends this holiday season, so this year, I am sending my ladies a book, a recipe, and a bottle of wine.
I may not get to experience the feel of a comfy sofa, a glass of pinot, or the laughter of women so tired from a day's work and kids, but they wouldn't pass on the opportunity to be together for anything.
So my suggestion is to send your special people a recipe that has comforted and nourished you and your loved ones this year and one of your favorite things {ala Oprah style}. It doesn't have to be expensive; it just needs to be something that you love because there is nothing more important than sharing love.

You never know where the next great idea is going to come from, do you?
This idea to turn left over oats into amazing waffles actually was sparked by one of our interns, Sarah. Her family makes stuffing waffles the day after Thanksgiving.
So Colleen jumped in using the ZEGO stuffing recipe and made them last weekend. They were so amazing, she’s now working on a whole group of recipes for savory waffles that can be eaten any time of day. They can even be used as a satisfying healthy substitute for sausage!
This version uses her leftover delicata squash from last night + 1 egg +⅓ cup cooked Zego oats. Look for more recipes in the next few weeks!!
Is it good or bad that Biden tapped Tom Vilsack as his Sec of Agriculture? Depends on who you ask. Why would the non GMO people and organic people disagree? How could he help people with food allergies?
You should know because the choices of the head of the Dept of Agriculture will impact your life.
Colleen lays it all out in her new “Insider Info” article in our magazine.
Do you have a favorite winter drink you absolutely love during the cold weather, a tradition your family looks forward to every year? Share in the comments below.
Pinole is roasted ground maize, which is then mixed with a combination of cacao. Depending on the type of pinole and the quality of its ingredients, pinole can be high in crucial vitamins and nutrients, including protein, amino acids, fiber, and antioxidants. Due to the large amount of fiber and the slow digestion of the maize, pinole also has a very high satiety effect, leaving those who consume it feeling full for a more extended period of time. For many indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America, it is relied upon as a critical source of nutrition and sustenance. -Referenced from Wikipedia
Our friend Stephanie Labile from @sweetorganicliving has remade this classic winter drink with even better ingredients, using our Oats and Pure protein.
