The Lifestyle Purist PackageThese conscious lifestyle products were specifically selected as the best of their kind.
This specific package was selected for the active individual that doesn't want to sacrifice holistic nutrition for their busy lifestyle.
Inspiration for this package comes from life on the road of British Columbia. It is hard to maintain proper nutrition in the back country and remote beaches while chasing swell and hunting fresh powder. Protein and vitamins are difficult to keep up
with on the road or in camp and a hot cup of clarity is always welcome.
Yerba Mate is widely known as healthiest of all stimulating beverages it is easier on the digestive tract than coffee and, as a whole plant, has a greater heath profile than green tea with twice the antioxidant levels and over 24 vitamins and minerals- including all essential amino acids.
Organic, Field-Grown Wheat Grass has a much greater health benefits than conventional tray-grown wheat grass and is not grown in dirt rather than plastic. An excellent alternative to traditional synthetic vitamins- the nutrients, vitamins and minerals in the Organic Wheat Grass Powder are more bio-available due to their whole plant. Most other powders are simply dehydrated juice, this is the real deal and processed in the absence of heat so is still considered a Raw food.
Hemp Protein is one of the most complete plant proteins known. Hemp is also contains the optimum ratio of Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3-6-9) and Manitoba Harvest Protein is processed without the use of Hexane- a possibly carcinogenic petrol-chemical used in the commercial production of most protein isolation. Manitoba Harvest is the world's largest Farmer-Owned operation and great Canadian Success story.

How to prepare Loose Leaf Yerba Mate:
French Press:
Place yerba mate in the French press. Add hot water and steep for 3-10
minutes. We recommend using 1-2 tbsp of loose mate per cup. First,
moisten the mate with cool water to protect the nutrients and flavor,
then ADD HOT (NOT BOILING) WATER.
Coffee Maker:
Place yerba mate in filter basket, then brew.
Espresso Maker:
Yerba
mate brews well in most espresso makers. Place yerba mate in a double
espresso portafilter. Pull a long shot for a total of 4 oz. Great for
making mate lattés.
Mate Latte Recipe:
Brew
8 oz. cup of Guayakí Yerba Mate or Java Mate. Add sweetener (sugar,
honey, or maple syrup) to taste and 4 oz. of steamed milk of choice. Top
off with milk foam. Makes a 12 oz. latté.
Mate Gourd:
Yerba mate is traditionally prepared in a gourd and shared among a circle of friends.
When packing a gourd, gently shaking the mate with a tilt allows the
stems to rise and the powder to drop. After inserting the bombilla, the
gourd is tilted upright allowing the larger stems and leaf to surround
the bombilla and thus creating an additional “filter” layer that assists
in keeping out the fine sediment.
