We all want our fathers to live long and healthy lives. by Pines International

To ensure that, Father's Day is a good time to make sure Dad and everyone in your family are eating plenty of dark green, leafy vegetables.

 

The diets of animals similar to us makes it clear that we were designed to eat plenty of greens. The USDA has based its food recommendation of making vegetables the most important food on our plates. That's because studies have shown that those who eat plenty of green vegetables live longer and have less incidence of degenerative disease. Even so, nine out of ten people in the United States don’t eat enough of these health-giving foods.

 

Pines’ #greensuperfoods provide a convenient and economical way to increase the green in your diet. They are available in powders, tablets and capsules.'

 

Our website (wheatgrass.com) provides a store locator to find a store near you, Accept no substitutes. Poorly grown and poorly packaged products in plastic tubs and paper packets are devitalized. Further, Pines is the ONLY #vegan-friendly wholefood #wheatgrass and #alfalfa company in Kansas that is 100% organic and that has never produced pesticide-based feed for the mechanized meat industry. All our products are certified #organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, #Kosher and #raw.

 

As the original green #superfood company in the modern natural food marketplace, for more than 40 years, Pines has followed the standards established in 1937 for how to grow, harvest and package wheatgrass, alfalfa and other cereal grasses. All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect against the deterioration that occurs with plastic and paper packaging. The special metal caps allow the consumer to tightly seal the bottles between uses to keep the greens fresh and vibrant.

Please join the #GreenDuo Superheroes, #Alfalfa Allie and #Wheatgrass Willie, and become a Mighty Greens Warrior. by Pines International

Help inform consumers about #organic brands that are actually owned by the world's largest GMO food producers and that are not very healthy.

 

For example, many juicing experts claim that a #juice should be used shortly after being made. Even so, juices from #Suja, #Odwalla, #Naked and #Bolthouse have been put through heat or pressure processes to give them long shelf lives.

 

Even worse, these brands are part of #Coke, #Pepsi and #Campbell's Soups, three of the largest GMO food and beverage monopolies! Suja received funds both from Coke and also Goldman Sachs, whose executives took more than $100 million in bonuses from the taxpayer bailout.

 

Further, Coke and other GMO monopolies profit daily from taxpayer funds using GMO ingredients, which are cheap because of taxpayer subsidies.

 

These massive #GMO monopolies have annual revenue hundreds of thousands times greater than small truly organic companies that struggle to compete with them. They are #bullying their way into the natural foods marketplace and seek to weaken organic standards. Some even use registered trademarks from real 100% organic companies to capitalize on the positive image associated with true organic trademarks.

 

These GMO monopolies have spent millions to prevent consumers from knowing that their other products are loaded with GMO ingredients and resulting #herbicide and #pesticide residues.

 

Become a #MightyGreens Warrior! Know the "organic" brands owned by #GMO monopolies and don't buy those products. Understand that each time you buy an "organic" brand owned by a GMO monopoly, you are helping the bottom line of those who seek to destroy organic agriculture.

 

Even though each GMO monopoly has bought up a few organic brands, nearly all their other products are GMO and everything-but-organic. Please share this chart that identifies those brands: bit.ly/1OPYmKo

This is my bowl of wheatgrass zoats! by Pines International

Sydney is from Vermont. As an actor/comedian, she currently is studying improv in New York City. She loves making people laugh and teaching about food. @Bigtasteleanwaist's slogan is "Transforming naughty treats into clean eats!" Sydney provides dozens of tasty recipes on Instagram and her website.

 

For St. Patricks Day, Sydney made Wheatgrass Zoats containing a full serving of Pines Wheat Grass. Starting your day with greens is always a good way to help you achieve the 3 to 5 recommended servings per day. A teaspoon of Pines mixed into your breakfast recipe is equal nutritionally to a large spinach or kale salad. Here is Sydney's recipe:

 

This is my bowl of wheatgrass zoats!

1/2c egg whites

1/2c cashew milk

1/3 zucchini grated

2 Tbs coconut flour

1 tsp @wheatgrass_people wheatgrass

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

2 droppers of @sweetleafstevia vanilla creme stevia

Pinch of salt

Combine in a small sauce pan and stir constantly over medium low heat until it turns into oatmeal consistency.

 

#PinesWheatGrass was the original #greensuperfood. We follow the 80-year old standard of amber glass bottles with special metal caps so that the oxygen can be removed. Without this protection, valuable nutrients are lost to oxidation.

 

Pines offer the most servings per container. Bigger serving sizes for similar products allows a poor quality product look better on a nutritional facts panel. but with fewer servings per container, plastic tub products are much more expensive for a product that is dull and oxidized rather than fresh and vibrant like Pines.

 

Pines is grown in a correct climate with ample rainfall. It does not need irrigation water from the contaminated and nearly depleted #Ogallala Aquifer. Our facilities are modern and built for #organic human food, not animal feed for the meat industry. That makes Pines the only #wheatgrass from Kansas that is truly #vegan

The only problem with green superfood packets and tubs is the contents are NOT green! by Pines International

Have we forgotten that the reason we take green superfoods is to get more GREEN food nutrition in our diets?

 

In order to maximize the profits for companies selling them, Green foods are often packaged in cheap plastic tubs or cheap paper packets. In fact, even some wheatgrass is packaged that way.

 

All Pines products follow the standard used by quality green superfood companies for 80-years. For 40 of those years, Pines has always packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. That protects the product from oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

 

Those recognized for their abilities in food preparation source individual ingredients rather than using complex blends which do not allow you to see the individual ingredients. This is especially a problem for #greensuperfood products like #wheatgrass, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality. When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient for quality.

 

Many companies that produce blends do not grow most of the ingredients themselves but deal with dozens of suppliers from far flung places, often China, for the cheapest price without consideration for quality.

 

With Pines, nearly all our products consist of only one or two ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All our products are certified #organic, #nongmoproject verified, #raw and #glutenfree. We are renown for the most nutrition per consumer dollar.

Sharanya posts on Instagram as @eathealthy_fit_mom. by Pines International

She is a vegan foodie who specializes in plant based whole foods. She believes in holistic healing for food allergies. She is also a crystal goddess and a tree hugger.

 

Pictured are a few of the #smoothies she has posted using #PinesWheatGrass and #GreenDuo as ingredients. She says you can never have too many greens. Besides the #wheatgrass and #alfalfa in the products from Pines, she often includes other #gmofree, #organic ingredients such as lecithin, coconut milk, bananas, rice protein, frozen cherries, kale, spinach, blueberries, black strap molasses, soy milk, yogurt, frozen peaches, hemp milk.

 

Her smoothies have beautiful colors. We hope these great pictures from Sharanya will inspire you to create your own #antioxidant rich, nutrient-dense smoothies for your family. Children love smoothies like these. They offer a way to increase the vegetable and fruit nutrition in their diets.

 

Pines also offers #MightyGreens powder which is sweetened with a touch of stevia. Kid love it just mixed with water, or if they are really picky eaters, Green Duo is also available in capsules and Pines Wheat Grass in tablets.

 

Since we started in 1976, many companies have copied Pines message, but few have copied our quality. Not only do they often not harvest at the precise time discovered in the research, but they also package in plastic tubs and paper packets, which result in nutrient loss and color loss due to oxidation. Still after 40 years, only Pines packages in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle to prevent the nutritional loss that occurs with inappropriate packaging.

 

All Pines' products are Certified Organic, #NonGMO Project Verified, #Kosher, #raw, #GlutenFree and #vegan. Pines is the number one choice for performance #athletes and the 9 out of 10 people that studies show do not consume enough dark #green #vegetables.

Serving up all things green at chez moi! by Pines International

"I had to add 1 heaping teaspoon of @wheatgrass_people wheatgrass into my coconutflour crêpes in order to justify crumbling up a @levain_bakery oatmeal raisin cookie on top. #thebest

 

"I also added a good serving of protein with a giant scoop of vanilla whey ice cream! Made from ice, cashew milk, 1 scoop vanilla @questnutrition protein powder, erythritol sweetener and cashew milk. (Blended to perfection in the @vitamix)

Here's a #citrus, #beet and dark green #vegetable #juice that CK Hall recently created. She said: by Pines International

Change of season needs more immunity-building!

 

Carrots

apple

kiwi

tangerines

grapefruit

spinach

organic beet juice powder

and organic Mighty Greens from @wheatgrass_people

Enough for two

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

CK is consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

 

Mighty Greens and our Beet Juice Powder are convenient and economical ways to add more #antioxidant #vegetable #nutrition to diets. In study after study, most Americans are very deficient in the vegetable nutrition we need to stay healthy.

 

Pines was the first #greensuperfood and has been growing #wheatgrass and #alfalfa in accordance with the scientific research for nearly 40 years.

 

#PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended. It is harvested after a winter of slow growth outdoors in often-freezing temperatures as a short grass. This stage of growth occurs only once a-year and lasts only a few days in the early spring.

 

Our alfalfa leaf is harvested at the pre-blossom stage that has been shown to produce the highest nutritional value. Pines is unique in not being a part of the pesticide-based, animal feed industry that uses an "organic sideline" to produce most of the other wheatgrass and alfalfa in the natural foods market. Since we began in 1976, Pines' farm families have been 100% organic. All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. Without oxygen, the devitalization and loss of color that occurs with products in plastic tubs or packets does not occur. That's why Pines provides the most nutrition per dollar of any cereal grass or alfalfa producer.

Here's a fun way to put more greens in the diet, especially for kids and others in your family who are adverse to eating greens. by Pines International

Whether you simply mix #organic Pines Wheat Grass with organic #chocolate syrup and milk (cow, goat, flax, coconut, cashew, almond or soy) or produce a beautiful smoothie like this one, you should always buy your wheat grass separately so you can see its color. Otherwise, if you buy it already mixed with chocolate you won't know if the chocolate was used to disguise poor quality greens with a bad color.

 

With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness because for 40 years, we have been growing and harvesting wheat grass correctly outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures and harvesting at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when it is 7 to 10 inches tall. We also provide the freshest possible product because we use amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, the devitalization that occurs from oxidation of #wheatgrass in plastic containers or paper packets does not occur.

 

#PinesWheatGrass is also available in convenient and economical tablets. Whether tablets or powder, any Pines' #GreenSuperfood will provide the additional dark green leafy vegetable nutrition that experts say is missing from most diets.

 

CK Hall (@ckscooking) created this beautiful smoothie. CK is consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

 

Chocolate Espresso Banana Power #Smoothie

Perfect for after workout!

 

1 cup Flax Milk with Protein

2 Scoops Chocolate protein

1 tbsp Dutch Cocoa

1 tsp espresso powder

The Green Duo Superheroes recently visited Pines International's modern facilities. by Pines International

The Duo used their super powers to teleport and then levitate while carrying bottles of ‪‎Green Duo‬ and ‪#Mighty Greens‬ for the harvest crew. The Green Duo wants everyone to eat plenty of dark green leafy ‪‎vegetables‬, especially the Pines' harvest crew.

 

The Green Duo are experts on the research by Charles Schnabel that began in 1932. Dr. Schnabel is the Superheroes' hero,. The Green Duo agree with Steve Meyerowitz, author of the popular "Wheatgrass: Nature's Finest Medicine," when he gave Dr. Schnabel the title, "The Father of Wheatgrass" in the book's dedication to him.

 

The Green Duo is pleased with how well Pines follows Dr. Schnabel's standards, but is disappointed with other producers. There are only a handful of producers of whole food wheatgrass and alfalfa in the United States, and Pines is one of them.. Most have their own products but also sell what they produce to hundreds of companies that market hundreds of ‪green superfood‬ products.

 

Pines produces whole food greens using state-of-the-art, computer-controlled, stainless-steel facilities, designed exclusively for ‪‎Certified Organic‬, ‪‎gmo free‬, ‪‎gluten free‬, ‪‎Kosher‬ ‪‎wheatgrass‬, ‪‎alfalfa‬ and other cereal grasses.

 

If you don't use Pines' labeled products, do you know where and how the green superfoods powders you are using were grown? Are they truly ‪#organic‬? Are they truly ‪‎vegan‬.

 

If a company says their wheatgrass and alfalfa comes from Kansas, and the company isn't Pines, there is only one other Kansas producer besides Pines, and that producer, starting in 1946, was a major producer of pesticide-based alfalfa for animals used by the factory-farm, confined animal, mechanized meat industry.

Here's a video showing the legendary Hobie Call, as usual, being the first to cross the finish line. by Pines International

Recently retired, Hobie is synonymous with #Spartan athletics. Out of the last 46 Spartan Races he entered, he won 37 of them, including the World Championships in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Hobie holds the Guinness World Record for lunging a mile when he beat the previous world record by 5 minutes in 2008. He ranks in the top 2% for Spartan Sprint, top 5% for Spartan Super and top 3% as a marathon runner.

 

Hobie has used Pines Wheat Grass for many years. He estimates he has gone through several hundreds bottles of the largest (24 ounce) size of Pines Wheat Grass powder since he has been an athlete. Hobie prefers the powders, while some athletes prefer or tablets and capsules. Both are great solutions for not only athletes but for everyone who knows about the research that shows 9 out of 10 people do not eat enough dark green vegetables for good health and longevity.

 

Hobie says, "Thank you Pines International for your exceptional Wheat Grass. The health required to continually win races as brutal as these is great. I contribute mine more to your products than anything else I eat. I have used your Wheat Grass for many years, and intend to continue for many more."

 

Established in 1976, Pines was the Official Green Food of the Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii and has been the top choice of #marathon #runners, #triathletes, #bodybuilders and other high level performance #athletes for more than 40 years. With studies regarding blood building qualities of dark green, leafy #vegetables and the increase in #NitricOxide they provide, it has now become more understandable why so many athletes during the past 40 years have said that Pines gave them an edge.

 

Pines is the only Kansas #wholefood wheatgrass company that is 100% organic and the only one that was not established to produce animal feed for the confined animal, meat industry. We are not an pesticide-based agribusiness with an "organic sideline," but rather a cooperative effort of sincere organic farm families who genuinely believe in #organic #farming and producing the highest possible quality.

 

Not all #wheatgrass and #supergreenfoods are equal. Some are harvested at the wrong time and some are packaged in plastic bottles and paper packets.

 

All Pines products have always been packaged appropriately in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow the company to remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect from the nutritional deterioration that occurs with other kinds of packaging. After opening, the metal caps allow the consumer to tightly seal the bottle between uses to keep the contents as fresh as the once-a-year moment when correctly grown wheatgrass reaches its peak nutritional level.

 

With Pines, you receive the chlorophyll and dark green #vegetable nutrients that are lacking in the diets of many athletes for the #stamina, #endurance and #recovery ability of top performance athletes like Hobie Call.

Thanks to Pines for growing the highest quality products! by Pines International

For a serving nutritionally equivalent to a spinach or kale salad, all it takes is 1-1/4 tsp of Pines Wheat Grass powder or seven tablets.

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

And thank you, CK, for all the excellent ideas for smoothies and juices. CK Hall (@ckscooking) is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food.

 

Studies show that almost no one in today's society eats enough dark green leafy vegetables for the health protective benefits they provide.

Pines provides the most nutrient-dense dark green #veggies in your choice of forms and flavors.

 

Pines products are available at leading natural food stores or direct at wheatgrass.com.

 

Pines was the original #greensuperfood company and was the first to introduce #wheatgrass to the natural food marketplace in 1976. It is still the only company to follow the growing, harvesting and packaging standards used in the research.

 

Never grown under unnatural conditions in greenhouses or trays, #PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended, outdoors, in often-freezing temperatures and rich glacial soil, where roots can go down more than a foot deep, to provide the nourishment discovered in the research.

 

Pines Wheat Grass is harvested at the once-a-year stage of peak nutrition. Pines products are the only ones to be packaged in amber glass bottles with special caps that allow the company to remove the oxygen.

 

Without oxygen in the container, a green #superfood does not lose nutritional value, which is a major problem with green products sold in plastic tubs or paper packets.

 

With Pines, you receive the most nutrition per dollar. A serving equal nutritionally to $2 worth of spinach or kale can cost as little as 25 cents. For 40 years, Pines has provided the best value for any green #vegetable.

Green Superfoods Should be Green! by Pines International

The CDC says that nine out of ten Americans do not eat enough vegetables. When grown naturally outdoors in cold weather, wheatgrass is a very nutrient-dense leafy green super food. That makes it an an economical and convenient way to increase dark green vegetable nutrition in the diet.

 

Tablets and capsules of green super foods are convenient, while powders are great in smoothies and recipes. The greener the super food, the more nutrition it contains.

 

Unfortunately, in order to maximize profits, some companies package their greens in cheap plastic tubs or paper packets. That results in a loss of color and nutrition due to oxidation.

Since we introduced Pines Wheat Grass more than 40 years ago, we have always packaged our products in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. The caps contain tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen. Removing oxygen prevents nutrient loss through oxidation. Our products also stay fresher between uses because of the seals in the metal caps.

 

We are proud of our products. That's why we use oxygen-free bottles with the special caps. That safeguard is not possible when green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

CK Hall created these 17 recipes for smoothies. by Pines International

She shares these and many others on Instagram @defininghealth. Her #smoothies are a part of her personal health program, which includes vigorous workouts. As a result, CK needs nutrient-dense nutrition for #stamina and #endurance as well quick and effective #recovery.

 

She feels her smoothies supercharge her body. That's why, each of those pictured are loaded with flavorful, nutrient-dense ingredients, including #PlantBasedProtein. CK also adds spoonfuls of concentrated, nutrient dense #vegetable powders. She uses#PinesWheatGrass, #MightyGreens, #GreenDuo and our #BeetJuicePowder.

 

Adding a rounded teaspoon of any Pines’ #greensuperfood to smoothies is easy. When you do that, you increase you daily servings of strongly pigmented vegetables, exactly what is missing from most diets.

 

CK avoids using complex blends of #superfood powders. She wants you to see, touch and examine each ingredient for aroma and color as well as taste. With a blend, you don't have that opportunity. You may not be receiving the #nutrition you need. For example, it is easy for a company to cover up poorly-colored wheatgrass with dark colored powders such as chocolate or algae.

 

From 1937 until recently, all green superfood powders were packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps so that the oxygen could be removed. That's important because Charles Schnabel and other scientists discovered that oxidation devitalizes green superfoods. Consequently, for 40 years, Pines has followed that appropriate packaging standard.

 

Because of the special caps, the bottles are tightly sealed between uses. That results in the freshest and most vibrant ingredients for your recipes.

 

We harvest our greens at the peak of nutrition. All products are certified #organic, #NonGMOProject Verified, #Kosher, #vegan, #raw and #glutenfree. We provide our greens in tablets, capsules and powder. Mix the powders with water, #juice or a smoothie. Add them to other recipes. Our website (wheatgrass.com) provides examples to inspire you.

In addition to her blog, Whitney posts on Instagram as @purposetonourish. by Pines International

She recently discovered Pines Wheat Grass. Here's what she said:

 

"Happy Monday! Did anyone else start their morning with a green smoothie? Today I tried out powered wheatgrass from @wheatgrass_people (thanks to @naturalgrocers for the free sample packets). I blended the wheatgrass with a frozen banana, cashew milk, a splash of coconut water, and a half scoop of protein powder. This was a new one for me, and it was delicious!! Will drink again!"

 

Whitney's blog is at purposetonourish.com. She seeks to nourish the mind, body and spirit with HEALTHY meal plans, grocery lists and lifestyle tips. There you will find recipes that are ALWAYS gluten-free, often Vegan, inexpensive, with low waste. You will also find great articles on health and fitness.

 

Whitney was introduced to #PinesWheatGrass with a free foil ample packet. These are also available by using the contact page at wheatgrass.com. However, we recommend using Pines products in our amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen.

 

We have used this safeguard for more than 40 years. It prevents the loss of nutrition, color and quality that occurs when a #greensuperfood is packaged in plastic containers or paper packets.

 

We are the only green food company to use this standard and standards for growing and harvesting wheatgrass that were established in 1937 by Dr. Charles Schnabel, who is known as the father of wheatgrass. We still use many of his same fields in northeastern Kansas. In fact, our bottling and shipping facility is right across the road from one of his fields.

 

Pines is the only producer of #wholefood wheatgrass and alfalfa in Kansas that uses modern facilities built and used exclusively for certified #organic, #NonGMOProject verified, #Kosher, #glutenfree human food products. Unlike the other Kansas producer, our facilities have never been used to produce feed for confined-animals used by the meat industry,

One of our readers was offended at our comparing crowding animals for the meat industry to crowding wheatgrass in trays. by Pines International

She felt this indicated we approved of the meat industry.

 

We are opposed to the meat industry. In fact, we are the only producer of wholefood wheatgrass that doesn't use facilities designed for the meat industry.

 

Ours are designed and used exclusively for 100% certified organic, non-gmo, nutrient-dense #vegetables for humans.

 

We believe animals should be treated with kindness and respect. Traditionally, killing an animal for food was sacred. It was said that the meat from an animal treated with cruelty carries with it the anger about its treatment.

 

In a like manner, we believe wheatgrass grown seven times faster than natural, at temperatures four times higher than natural and 300 times closer together than natural, results in pale, spindly leaves that may recognize they were not grown as nature intended.

 

At least in terms of nutritional value, mold contamination and bacteria, plants grown that way carry with them measurable negative characteristics.

 

Charles Schnabel and other scientists, who grew wheatgrass for the research that inspired Ann Wigmore, used a #wholefood #prebiotic #wheatgrasspowder.

 

It was harvested after months of slow growth in often-freezing temperatures. #PinesWheatGrass has been produced that same way for the past 40 years. We would never grow it in trays! .

 

Here are pictures of tray and real wheatgrass. Besides spindly leaves from crowded condition in the top picture, please notice the tangle of moldy roots. Those roots are supposed to go a foot deep in rich soil!

 

Certainly, people receive benefits from #wheatgrass grown under unnatural conditions, but we want consumers to be aware that there is a way to grow wheatgrass in harmony with nature that provides better #health and #nutrition.

Here's a "crud-busting" recipe from our Instagram friend @ckscoooking: by Pines International

"We are fighting against the crud that has been kicking everyone's booty in our hood!

 

1 cup unsweetened cashew milk

2 scoops chocolate vegan protein powder

1-1/4 tsp organic Pines WheatGrass powder

1 tsp organic Pines Beet Juice powder

From @wheatgrass_people

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 dropper Advantage from Wisdom of the Ages

1 cup frozen cherries

 

I will CONQUER!

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)"

 

CK is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools! Check out @ckscooking on Instagram for more recipes.

 

CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends.

 

This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality.

 

When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient to check for quality.

 

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen.

 

This safeguard protects sensitive nutrients from the oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. After opening, the special caps allow you to tightly seal the product between uses to keep it fresh and vibrant.

 

Nearly all our Pines products consist of ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All products are certified #organic, #gmofree,#vegan #raw, #Kosher and #glutenfree.

Mount Hope Foods in Cottonwood, Arizona, is a family owned and operated business, offering the very finest foods and customer service for more than 40 years. by Pines International

They also built their reputation providing the best nuts, dried fruits, spices, beans, rices, grains, mushrooms, chilies, extracts and specialty products available in bulk form, mostly as a wholesale business.

 

As one would expect, bulk items are also an important part of their full line natural foods grocery, where you will also find organic produce, packaged foods, supplements, personal care items, and "Greens," including Pines' ‪‎Gluten Free‬, ‪‎Organic‬, ‪‎non-GMO‬ Project Verified, ‪Green Superfoods‬.

 

Mount Hope and Pines were both established in the 1970s when the natural food marketplace consisted of small idealistic companies. Both Pines and Mount Hope are still owned by the original people. Mount Hope understands the need for nutrient-dense ‪‎vegetable‬ powders, tablets and capsules.

 

These ‪#‎superfoods‬ are important in the diet, but the ‪#‎chlorophyll‬, ‪#‎betacarotene‬ and other sensitive nutrients in them loose value in the presence of oxygen. Pines removes the oxygen from each glass bottle and seals it with a special tight-fitting metal cap. That's why Mount Hope features Pines at the top of their ‪‎GreenSuperfood‬ section.

 

Pines is not only the first "Green Superfood", but we also feature the only ‪wheatgrass‬ and ‪cereal‬-grass products grown in accordance with the standards established in 1937 by Charles Schnabel, widely known as the "father of wheatgrass." His standards not only regarded growing and harvesting, but also packaging as Pines still does today. Those standards are why Pines' products are vibrant green while products sold in plastic bottles and packets are often dull green or even grey.

 

When you travel between Phoenix and Flagstaff, take some time for the scenic ride to Cottonwood, enjoy the landscape, and stop in at this beautiful, clean and well-stocked natural food grocery.

We want you to help us celebrate our 40th Anniversary by taking advantage of up to 70% off on one of our new products, Green Duo Capsules! by Pines International

Regular retail price $32.25

 

Now as low as $9.67

 

The Shopping Cart starting place for Green Duo Capsules is at:

 

wheatgrass.com/product/green-duo-capsules-260/

 

At Shopping Cart, simply enter coupon code: DUOCAPS

 

We hope you already use #PinesWheatGrass, our main product for the last 40 years. Even so, you may want to consume some of your greens in capsules filled with a 50/50 blend of Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified #wheatgrass and #alfalfa at an incredibly low price.

 

If you or someone you know doesn't eat as much leafy green food as nutritionists (and even governments) recommend, this is a good time to try this new convenient and inexpensive way to increase #greenfood in the #diet.

 

We want to get these capsules into the hands of more people before they are stocked in the stores. Natural food stores may also take advantage of this one-time price to have them already on hand before they are available from their distributor.

 

Even at the regular retail price, Green Duo is an organic, economical and convenient way to increase your #green #vegetable nutrition. It costs less per serving than nutritionally-equivalent greens from the supermarket that may have been sprayed with pesticides.

 

Now, for a limited time, with this introductory price, a serving of Green Duo cost less than 22 cents for more nutrition than two dollar's worth of green produce!

 

No one can use the excuse of "vegetables cost too much!"

 

Green Duo Capsules help lower food costs while increasing the well-documented disease-preventing benefits of eating plenty of deep green leafy vegetables. The capsules are easy-to-swallow, so even #children have no excuse for not eating their greens. The contents in the capsules swell in liquid to about eight times in size. They provide a nutritious and filling serving of two of the most nutrient-dense dark green, leafy #vegetables.

 

This discount is only good while supplies last. We limit each customer to no more than 12 bottles, but if you do buy twelve, you will receive the full 70% discount for the $9.67 price. As is the case with all Pines' products, we remove the oxygen from glass bottles and seal with a tight-fitting metal caps for a five-year shelf life.

 

We will pay UPS charges if two or more bottles are shipped within the Continental USA. Even if you purchase only two bottles, you will receive a 10% volume discount plus the special 30% Green Duo discount for 40% off or $19.35 per bottle. As you buy more bottles the total discount increases to a full of 70% off with a 12-bottle case.

 

This special discount is ONLY for Green Duo Capsules, not Green Duo Powder, nor any other Pines' product.

#Chocolate Fig #Smoothie by Pines International

All ingredients are certified #organic

 

1-1/4 cup cashew milk

2 scoops chocolate fudge #vegan protein powder

1-1/4 Pines Wheat Grass powder from @wheatgrass_people

3 frozen figs from TraderJoes

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

Thanks to CK Hall* for the recipe! Certainly, you could make this without the figs and can use other kinds of milk, but this a beautiful way to add both figs and chocolate to your green drink, especially for kids who are picky eaters.

 

When using superfood powders, always source your ingredients separately to examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' green foods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

 

Another way to get more green into picky kids is to let them off the hook if they will swallow a serving of #PinesWheatGrass tablets, Pines #GreenDuo capsules or mix stevia-sweetened #MightyGreens powder into a drink.

 

Pines is the only company using amber glass bottles with special metal caps so they can remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, devitalization caused by plastic containers or paper packets cannot occur. Research dating back more than 80 years proves that the packaging used by Pines is the only kind that protects sensitive green food nutrients.

 

The nutritional value of poorly packaged products results in Pines providing much more nutrition per dollar spent. Pines can cost as little as 25 cents for a serving nutritionally equivalent to nearly $2 worth of spinach or kale.

 

For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic #wheatgrass naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.

CK's diet is designed to give her the #stamina, #endurance and #recovery she needs for her aggressive exercise routines. by Pines International

She loves #MightyGreens #greensuperfood mixed with water to ensure the protective green food nutrients that doctors say we need.

 

But CK is also very creative with her #smoothies and #juices. Her variations involve as many nutrient-rich, #antioxidant fruits and #vegetables as possible. The USDA recommends five or more servings of per day. CK's smoothies often contain that many in just one delicious glassful.

 

She usually increases the vegetables by adding a rounded teaspoon of #PinesWheatGrass powder before pushing the blend button or stirring the juice. This picture shows just a sampling of dozens of recipes she has created.

At the top is wheatgrass grown in a tray. Below is Pines wheatgrass outdoors in the early spring. by Pines International

It is growing just as Charles Schnabel and other scientists grew theirs for the research discussed and documented in nearly every book about wheatgrass. Several authors dedicated their works to Schnabel as "the father of wheatgrass."

 

Pines still operates one of Dr. Schnabel's laboratories and uses some of his fields. Pines follows where and how Schnabel grew his wheatgrass for the medical research discussed by Ann Wigmore and other authors.

 

Real wheatgrass grows very slowly, outdoors, in often-freezing temperatures. Fields are harvested once each year when it reaches its nutritional peak. Real wheatgrass is often shorter than tray wheatgrass and is much greener. It contains four times more #chlorophyll, tastes good and is mold free.

 

Tray wheatgrass is grown with seeds placed 300 times closer than is natural. It grows seven times faster than is natural at temperatures three times higher than is natural. These conditions are perfect for the growth of mold, bacteria and pathogens. Most tray wheatgrass is never tested, while #PinesWheatGrass is tested for yeast, mold, bacteria, pathogens, heavy metals, #protein and other #nutrition markers. Pines also tests each batch to makes sure it is #glutenfree.

 

The roots of Pines' #organic wheatgrass go down more than a foot deep in rich glacial soil. When grown in a tray, roots become a tangled, moldy mess. Even so, it is fun to grow these long sprouts in your home. As long as you can tolerate the flavor and are not allergic to mold, they can be one of many sources of greens in your diet; however, a teaspoon of Pines' #wheatgrasspowder contains more nutrition than a #wheatgrassshot and can cost as little as 15 cents.

 

Our mission for 40 years has been to provide convenient and economical ways to increase the #greens in your diet. Green food protects your health. Consume all you can!

1 cup cashew milk

2 scoops vegan chocolate fudge protein

1/2 tsp ginger

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp espresso powder

1 tap cinnamon

1 tsp Pines wheatgrass powder from@wheatgrass_people

1 tsp Pines beet juice powder

CK is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

 

Pines Wheat Grass and Beet Juice Powder are convenient and economical ways to add more #antioxidant #vegetable #nutrition to diets. Most people are deficient in the vegetable nutrition.

 

Pines Wheat Grass was the first #GreenSuperfood and the first #wheatgrass. As wholefoods, Pines products are #prebiotic and promote the growth of #probiotic bacteria we need for good health.

 

We have grown our wheatgrass in accordance with the scientific research for nearly 40 years. Never forced to grow too quickly indoors in crowded trays, #PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended. It is harvested after a winter of slow growth outdoors in often-freezing temperatures as a short grass. We harvest at peak nutrition that occurs only once a-year and lasts only a few days in the early spring.

 

Pines is unique among wholefood wheatgrass producers in that we not a part of the pesticide-based, animal feed industry. Since 1976, Pines' farm families have always been 100% organic. Our products are grown with natural rainfall, not irrigation. We are not a part of the factory farming that has contaminated and depleted the once-great #Ogallala #Aquifer.

 

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. Without oxygen, the devitalization for products packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets does not occur. That's why Pines provides more nutrition per dollar than any other wholefood wheatgrass.

 

Happy holidays, everyone!

Only one day left to register for a free Mighty Greens Gift Pack! Go to http://bit.ly/1WczsLy by Pines International

Sweet Pea Savings is a popular website for product reviews and contests. You have until Monday night to register to win a bottle of Mighty Greens, T-Shirt and backpack. Here's what they say:

 

"What exactly IS Might Greens? It’s a simple and effective nutrient-dense, dark green blend of organic ‪‎wheatgrass‬ and organic ‪alfalfa‬ combined with other nutrient-dense superfoods. You just add this to water or juice and drink as normal. I have to admit I am usually scared of products like this but I gave it an honest to goodness try and I actually love it. It tastes pretty great and I really noticed the difference in my energy level. "

 

Mighty Greens is produced by Pines International, the company that established the green food segment in the natural food marketplace in 1976 with Pines Wheat Grass, the first ‪green superfood‬. Even though dozens of companies have tried to copy Pines success, they have usually done so by reducing quality by using cereal grasses ingredients from animal feed suppliers to the meat industry. Even though these chemical farming meat industry companies have an "organic sideline," they grow their wheatgrass and other cereal grasses well past the jointing stage for greater yield. Dr. Schnabel and other scientists determined in 1937 that the jointing stage was the proper time to harvest for the maximum nutritional value. Pines is the only company to follow the standards established by their research. Pines also is the only whole food cereal grass producer that has never been connected with the meat industry, is 100% ‪organic‬ and is very much ‪vegan‬ friendly.

 

You have only one body. Just because meat industry companies with "organic sidelines" cut corners on nutrition is no reason for you to cut corners on what you put in your body. Choose Pines for maximum nutrition and quality from 100% #organic family farmers.

The prestigious and popular website "examiner.com" has included Pines Alfalfa in its "Holiday Gift Guide: Best gifts for health and fitness junkies." by Pines International

As you can see in the picture, Pines Alfalfa is by far the greenest of any of the most popular alfalfa brands. The darker green the vegetable, the more nutrition contained in it.

 

Pines Alfalfa is a perfect stocking stuffer. It says to those you love that you sincerely care about their health. Numerous studies indicate most people do not eat enough dark green vegetables. Research shows that those who eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables protect themselves against the degenerative diseases running rampant in today's society.

 

A spoonful of Pines #Alfalfa in a glass of water, #juice or #smoothie provides the equivalent of a generous serving of #kale or #spinach. Pines alfalfa is also available in tablets. Both are convenient and economical ways to increase your daily intake of dark #green #vegetable nutrition.

 

Pines is a #vegan friendly company. We are unique among those who produce wholefood greens in that we produce only 100% human food from clean modern facilities and have never produced pesticide-based animal feed for the confined-animal, factory-farming meat industry.

 

We are also unique that our farms and facilities are not an "organic sideline" for a pesticide-based agribusiness. Instead, our family farms are 100% certified #organic and 100% Non-GMO Project Verfified. Pines was the original #GreenSuperfood company, established nearly 40 years ago in 1976. We are also the only company that packages in amber glass bottles with special metal caps, which allows us to remove the oxygen from each bottle to prevent the rapid deterioration of nutrition that occurs with cheaply packaged products in plastic tubs.

 

Pines Alfalfa is the only human food alfalfa leaf currently Non-GMO Project Verified. All Pines products are Non-GMO Project Verified and Certified Organic from fields that have been in organic production for as long as 30 years.

 

Eat more green for #health, #stamina and #endurance. If Pines Alfalfa is not available at your store, please order online at wheatgrass.com for up to a 40% off.

Double #Chocolate #Coconut #Smoothie by Pines International

Break between BodyCombat and RPM Spin:

 

1-1/2 cups cashew milk

2 scoops chocolate fudge vegan protein

1 tsp espresso powder

1 tbsp dutch cocoa

1-1/4 tsp Pines Organic #wheatgrasspowder from @wheatgrass_people

1 tbsp coconut butter

1 cup frozen organic cherries

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

This is another delicious smoothie recipe from CK Hall*. It is great as an energizing break in your fitness activity.

 

Also, if you have a hard time getting your children to eat their vegetables, recipes like this are a good way to get them to eat more green. You can also simply mix any of Pines' organic greens with organic chocolate syrup and milk (flax, coconut, cashew, almond, etc.) If Pines Green Superfoods are not available, order online (wheatgrass.com).

 

Pines' #greensuperfoods are also available in capsules and tablets for a very convenient and economical way to add more #wholefood #vegetables to your diet and as another way to get your kids to eat more greens.

 

When using superfood powders to fortify a smoothie or juice, it is best to source your ingredients separately so you can see and examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

 

For 40 years Pines has grown and harvested organic #wheatgrass naturally, outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures. They harvest at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.

 

Pines is also is the only company using amber glass bottles with special metal caps so they can remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, devitalization common to plastic containers or paper packets cannot occur.

Fighting off a cold for the holidays? by Pines International

Here is how to keep yourself jolly!

 

Juice mandarins, kiwi, apple, pear, carrots, power greens (kale/spinach/chard).

 

Then stir in:

2 tsp of organic beet juice powder

1-1/4 tsp Pines Organic Wheatgrass Powder from @wheatgrass_people

 

Feeling good. Feeling strong :-)

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

CK Hall (@ckscooking) is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food.

 

Pines Wheat Grass is convenient and economical way to add more #antioxidant #vegetable #nutrition to help protect against disease. A rounded teaspoon of powder or seven tablets is the nutritional equivalent to a serving of spinach or kale, which costs much more per serving.

 

Pines Wheat Grass was the first #GreenSuperfood and the first #wheatgrass. As wholefoods, Pines products are #prebiotic and promote the growth of the #probiotic bacteria we need for good health.

 

We have grown our #wheatgrass in accordance with the scientific research for 40 years. Never forced to grow too quickly indoors in crowded trays, #PinesWheatGrass is grown as nature intended. It is harvested as a short grass after months of slow growth outdoors in often-freezing temperatures. This peak nutrition period occurs only once a-year for a few days.

 

Pines is unique because we are not a part of the pesticide-based, animal feed industry. Since 1976, Pines' farm families have always been 100% organic. Our products are grown with natural rainfall, not irrigation. We are not a part of the contamination and depletion of the #Ogallala #Aquifer.

 

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. Without oxygen, the devitalization with products packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets does not occur. Pines provides more nutrition per dollar than any other wholefood wheatgrass.

From the The Healthy Newspaper: http://bit.ly/1KxKP4E by Pines International

Lawrence, Kansas, September 2015—Alfalfa has been around for so long that it’s “root” name comes from Arabic, which means “father of all foods.” Speaking of roots, the roots of ‪#‎alfalfa‬ can grow up to 39 feet, extending deep into the earth to reveal a host of nutrients—all of them good for us.

 

PINES Alfalfa is a high potency source of the ‪#‎antioxidant‬ Vitamin A as beta carotene. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin K, and contains ‪‎Folic Acid‬, as well as Vitamin C, calcium and iron. Alfalfa should be green like PINES, but most are not very green at all, which means more fillers and less quality alfalfa.

 

Although PINES Alfalfa is a convenient and economical way to consume more green vegetables, it is unique as a ‪#‎vegetable‬ because it is also a legume. Legumes contain up to 8% ‪saponins‬, which are also contained in lima beans, soy beans, navy beans, broad beans, kidney beans, chickpeas and green peas, as well as garlic.

 

And in addition to helping you, alfalfa helps the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms on which other plants can thrive. Alfalfa also facilitates soil conservation by reducing erosion, creates a wildlife habitat for animals, including some endangered species, and its flowers help bees produce the top honey crop in the U.S.

 

Compare Alfalfa supplements. Note that PINES Alfalfa is the only certified ‪#‎organic‬, ‪‎non-GMO‬ Project Verified alfalfa leaf. Founded in 1976, PINES (www.wheatgrass.com) is a successful natural food company, still owned by its original founders and families. PINES products are found in over 7,000 health food stores nationwide, and exported to more than 20 foreign countries. PINES' focus is on harvesting, tableting and packaging for maximum nutritional value.

If you look back over the juice and smoothie recipes on this page during the past several weeks, you will see that CK Hall (@ckscooking) creates a new #antioxidant rich #recipe almost everyday.i by Pines International

CK is showing us that there are an infinite ways to add more of the most nutrient-rich #superfood powders from Pines to your diet. She seeks to provide a balance of root vegetables like carrots and beets with the leafy green #organic #wheatgrass grown by Pines outdoors and harvested at the once-per-year nutritional peak after slow grow through often freezing temperatures.

 

After intensive athletic activity, CK includes more deeply pigmented antioxidants, which increase her #NitricOxide level for greater #endurance, #stamina and #recovery. CK is your Pampered Chef consultant, who works with a 35-year old company that provides cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people through food and fellowship. Here is one of her "after-#workout" smoothies:

 

LOOK at the color of this Cherry Chocolate Smoothie!

The richness comes in the Organic Beet Powder I added this morning.

The only problem with green superfood packets and tubs is the contents are NOT green! by Pines International

Have we forgotten that the reason we take green superfoods is to get more GREEN food nutrition in our diets?

 

In order to maximize the profits for companies selling them, Green foods are often packaged in cheap plastic tubs or cheap paper packets. In fact, even some wheatgrass is packaged that way.

 

All Pines products follow the standard used by quality green superfood companies for 80-years. For 40 of those years, Pines has always packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. That protects the product from oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

 

Those recognized for their abilities in food preparation source individual ingredients rather than using complex blends which do not allow you to see the individual ingredients. This is especially a problem for #greensuperfood products like #wheatgrass, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality. When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient for quality.

 

Many companies that produce blends do not grow most of the ingredients themselves but deal with dozens of suppliers from far flung places, often China, for the cheapest price without consideration for quality.

 

With Pines, nearly all our products consist of only one or two ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All our products are certified #organic, #nongmoproject verified, #raw and #glutenfree. We are renown for the most nutrition per consumer dollar.

Here's a #smoothie recipe from CK Hall* that offers a great way to get picky kids to eat more greens. by Pines International

Recipe:

 

1 cup cashew milk

2 scoops Orgain organic vegan chocolate fudge protein

1/2 tsp ginger

1 tsp espresso powder

1 tsp turmeric

2 tbsp organic peanut flour

1 tbsp dutch cocoa

1 tsp Pines organic #greenduo (alfalfa/wheatgrass)

1 tsp beet juice powder also from @wheatgrass_people

1 cup frozen organic triple blend berries from @Costco

 

This #SuperfoodSmoothie provides two servings of darkly pigmented berries and two servings of darkly pigmented vegetables, as well as other #antioxidants. All are health-protective foods lacking in most diets.

 

If your kids like chocolate greens, you can simply mix any of Pines' organic greens with organic chocolate syrup and milk (flax, coconut, cashew, almond, etc.) If Pines Green Superfoods are not available, order online (wheatgrass.com).

 

When using superfood powders,it is best to source your ingredients separately so you can see and examine them. For example, with greens already mixed with chocolate powder, you do not know the color of the greens. With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness.

Earthly Goods is located between Chicago and Milwaukee in Gurnee, Illinois. It has been doing business since 1997. They specialize in supplements, health & beauty, gluten-free, organic groceries, and have a full juice and smoothie bar. by Pines International

Earthly Goods also understands the importance of packaging a #GreenSuperfood in amber glass bottles, especially bottles used by Pines with special metal caps that allow the company to remove the oxygen and tightly seal the airtight containers. Without oxygen, a green product keeps its color and nutritional potency. That's because #oxidation cannot occur.

 

Besides not following proper growing and harvesting standards, oxidation is a major reason that #GreenSuperfoods in plastic containers, bags or packets lose their vibrant color. In the presence of oxygen, the color of a #GreenFood starts to become dull or even change to a grayish green or worse to yellow or brown. When a green #superfood loses color, you are receiving very little nutritional value. People who don't take shortcuts on nutrition, choose Pines, because Pines doesn't take shortcuts on growing, harvesting or packaging its #wheatgrass and #alfalfa products. Because of its quality, Pines provides much more nutrition per dollar than improperly packaged green products.

 

Earthly Goods is a family-owned business that strives to help the customer find the right product. Jeremy Bleichman, with the support of his wife, Melissa, has been doing business for over 18 years, helping people with their health care needs. When in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin near Lake Michigan, please visit this beautiful, well-stocked store, enjoy a smoothie or juice and check out their full line of outstanding products.

@krystenskitchen says, by Pines International

"When you ask your daddy to send you a pic of his protein shake using the PINES Mighty Greens packet from @wheatgrass_people that you gave him and he turns his kitchen into a photoshoot session & makes you laugh.... AND smile really big. I love my daddy!! He used @good_karma_foods flax milk, a handful of frozen berries and some #MightGreens Superfood Blend!"

 

Thanks to Krysten's dad for this picture and the smoothie idea. Her dad is an award winning professional musician for over 35 years and lives in Southern California. He has been an organic vegan for over 25 years and loves his greens, that’s for sure! He taught his daughter to love greens from a young age, too.

 

Krysten focuses on recipes for those with food allergies. She is an expert on that subject and serves as the Foodie & Food Allergy Guru for @FoodBackground.

 

Pines provides packets of Mighty Greens to demonstrate it. The packets are not for sale. All Pines #greensuperfoods are packaged in amber glass bottles (shown as an inset in picture) with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen to prevent the devitalization that occurs with packets and plastic containers. Even so, people often want a sample. Packets make sense for free samples, except for the oxidation problem.

 

To protect from oxidation, we keep sample packets in our freezer until ready to send to trade shows, stores or direct to consumers who request a sample on the contact page at wheatgrass.com. We give them away at no charge but with a message about the importance of always purchasing green superfoods in oxygen-free glass bottles. Studies show we all need at least 3 servings of dark green #veggies each day to protect against degenerative disease. A serving of any of Pines #organic products costs less than half as much as supermarket produce grown with pesticides.

Your #recovery #smoothie can be loaded with antioxidants as well as protein and fiber, CK gives a great example: by Pines International

Nutrition that does not bog me down yet keeps me full for hours! After a workout, this is just perfect! I also added some espresso for a perfect #postworkout treat!

24 grams protein and 8 grams fiber!

2 scoops #plantbased rich chocolate protein

1 cup cold filtered water

1 cup crushed ice

1-1/4 tsp organic Pines #WheatGrass

1 tsp espresso powder

#antioxidants for LIFE!

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

For 40 years, Pines has offered the highest quality #greensuperfoods to increase the #vegetable #nutrition in your diet.

Unlike stale green juices in produce departments made by Coke, Pepsi and other #GMO monopolies, each batch of #PinesWheatGrass is grown by sincere organic family farmers and dried at low temperature within minutes to capture the peak nutritional density. It would require more than $300 worth of these green juices from the GMO food companies to equal the nutrition in one bottle of Pines!

 

All Pines's #greensuperfood products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. That safeguard prevents the rapid nutrient loss of those green juices or green powders packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. After opening, the tight-fitting metal caps allow you to tightly seal the products between uses for the freshest, most vibrant whole food green #juice or smoothie possible.

 

Pines is not a big corporate monopoly with an "organic sideline." We are 100% small organic farmers. In fact, our bottling facility is right across the road from one of our fields. We chose the Pine tree as our emblem in 1976 because it is the internationally-recognized symbol of the peace found in nature.

 

All Pines' products are certified #organic, #gmofree, #vegan, #raw,#Kosher and #glutenfree

One way to encourage kids to eat more greens is mixing #greenfood powders into chocolate drinks. CK Hall has shown us several that provide inspiration. by Pines International

A chocolate drink can also be a very simple #recipe such as mixing #organic #Wheatgrass, #CashewMilk and #DarkChocolate syrup for green chocolate milk. Mixing these three ingredients is as easy as mixing two by using an already-mixed chocolate/greens blend with a milk. When the greens are already blended with the chocolate, you are not able to see the color of the greens. When you mix #PinesWheatGrass into chocolate milk, you see a beautiful vibrant green color that tells you that you are adding high quality nutrition to your child's chocolate drink.

 

CK uses simple blends and single ingredients rather than complex blends with dozens of vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. By avoiding blends, you can examine the color, taste and aroma of each ingredient. You know the quality of what you are eating and feeding your loved ones.

 

Pines family farmers grow only 100% organic human food. It's not just a "side-line" for an otherwise pesticide-based farm. We are unique in that our modern, clean, stainless-steel, low-temperature, food-grade, facilities are organic only and have never been used to produce pesticide-based feed for the confined-animal, factory-farming, meat industry.

 

Established in 1976, Pines Wheat Grass was the original #GreenSuperfood. We are truly a #vegan friendly company.

 

Using food and fellowship, CK is a Pampered Chef consultant, who works with that 35-year old company to provide cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people. Here is CK's latest chocolate-based recipe:

 

Chocolate Peanut Banana #Smoothie

 

1-1/2 cups cashew milk

2 scoops creamy chocolate fudge protein from @drinkorgain

2 tbsp organic peanut flour

1 tbsp dark cocoa powder (brings a richness)

1 banana

1-1/4 tsp Pines Organic Wheatgrass

1 cup ice

 

Feeling good. Feeling strong :-)

Fruit topped with Silk and Mighty Greens by Pines International

Although though this fruit bowl is topped with non-dairy Silk, traditional yogurt can also be used. Simply top it off with a serving of any Pines #GreenSuperfood. A tablespoon serving of #MightyGreens supplies additional hemp #protein with stevia to make it taste sweeter.

 

Before mixing it all together, it is fun to watch the green powder become beautiful shade of dark green as it rehydrates in the yogurt. It almost is as if the #wheatgrass and #alfalfa are coming to life!

 

Stir it up and you are about to eat two USDA servings of fruit and one serving of #vegetables. What a delightful way to follow the recommended of 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

 

No other green superfood products besides Pines are packaged to protect nutrition. Only Pines follows the 80 year old standard of using oxygen-free glass bottles to package greens. As a scientist, Dr. Charles Schnabel, the father of wheatgrass, said that if wheatgrass and other cereal grass powders are to be as effective as they were in the medical research, they needed to be packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow the removal of oxygen from each bottle. It was research headed up by Dr. Schnable that inspired Ann Wigmore and other authors.

 

For 40 years, Pines has always followed Dr. Schnabel’s standard. The oxygen-free atmosphere inside each of our bottles prevents loss of nutrients between our farms’ bottling facility and when you open the bottle. The seals you see in the metal cap in the picture allow you to tightly seal the product between use.

 

After 40 years, Pines Wheat Grass and other green superfoods are still the greenest and most nutrient-dense #wholefood cereal grass and alfalfa products on the market because we follow Schnabel’s growing and harvesting standards and because we do not subject sensitive green #superfood nutrients to the devitalization and loss of color that occurs with plastic tubs and paper packets.

Here is a recipe from our Instagram friend @ckscooking by Pines International

1 cup unsweetened cashew milk

2 scoops chocolate vegan protein powder

1-1/4 tsp organic Pines Wheat Grass powder

1 tsp organic Pines Beet Juice powder

Both from the @wheatgrass_people

 

I love my blender bottle! Especially when I am on the run and need quick boost!

 

Ready to go!

 

As always, #ckscooking :-)

 

CK is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

 

CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends.

 

This is especially important for #greensuperfood products, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality.

 

When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient to check for quality.

 

All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle.

 

That protects the product from the oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.

 

After opening, the tight seal in the metal cap of Pines' green superfoods keeps the product fresh between uses.

 

Nearly all our Pines products consist of ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All products are certified #organic, #gmofree, #raw, #Kosher and #glutenfree.

We recently became acquainted with @krystenskitchen. by Pines International

Krysten is an expert on food allergies. She serves as the Foodie & Food Allergy Guru for @FoodBackground.

 

www.FoodBackground.com believes we need to know more about our food: They showcase companies that contribute to a better planet with genuine organic and #vegan products.and companies that haven't been bought out by non-organic corporations.

 

Although Pines has had plenty of inquires, we do not intend to be bought out by an agribusiness that seeks to take advantage of the organic marketplace while continuing to use GMO and pesticides for most of their products. After 40 years, Pines is still owned by the same people. Our shareholders consist of more than 100 farmers and others who invested an average of $200 because the believed in our ideals.

 

All Pines #greensuperfoods are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen. That prevents the devitalization that occurs with packets and plastic containers. After opening, the tight seals in the metal caps allow you to keep products fresh and vibrant between uses.

 

Krysten has contributed recipes for our website and has taught the quality difference with Pines. In appreciation, we sent her a "care package." Here is the caption she wrote on Instagram for her picture re-posted here:

 

"Is it Christmas? Cause I just returned from a FAMILY VACAY to the Caribbean to find a package from one of the coolest companies ever: @Wheatgrass_people! YOUR PRODUCTS ARE A STAPLE IN OUR KITCHEN! I survived my 12 day cruise by bringing my own snacks and #PinesWheatGrass tablets which my hubs, momma and I took to make sure we were getting enough greens! Thank you Pines for quality #ORGANIC #RAW #GLUTENFREE #NONGMO products and the cool shirt that I will be rocking for sure! Love the plush superheroes as well! So cute! Thank you Pines! I You, Pines!"

Have you noticed that most products containing alfalfa are not verified #gmofree by the #NonGMO Project? by Pines International

It's no coincidence that Pines International, the same company that produced the first #greensuperfood 1976, introduced the World’s first Non-GMO Project Verified alfalfa leaf.

 

During its 40 years, Pines helped establish national organic standards and provided significant financial assistance and leadership to dozens of organizations dedicated to sustainability and environmental causes. Pines has also been speaking out and active in educating consumers about the increased #herbicide and #pesticide residue in our food supply caused by GMOs.

 

In the past several years, Pines organic farm families joined with others to speak out against allowing GMO alfalfa. Despite strong objection, the government now allows alfalfa leaf that has been genetically modified to tolerate direct spray of herbicide.

 

Most alfalfa leaf now on the market is #GMO because those who grow alfalfa for natural food products also grow it as feed for the meat industry. Killing weeds with poison for their animal feed is more profitable for them.

 

Our certified #organic #gmofree alfalfa is also a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable like #PinesWheatGrass. Most people do not eat enough dark green #vegetables to protect their health. Pines specializes in convenient and economical products to help you and your family increase your dark green #vegetable #nutrition.

 

Pines' alfalfa is used in our alfalfa tablets and powder as well as Green Duo, which is a 50/50 blend of #alfalfa and #wheatgrass. #GreenDuo is available in both capsules and powder.

 

Another tasty product is #MightyGreens, a simple-but-effective blend of alfalfa and wheatgrass with only two additional ingredients for more #plantbasedprotein and flavor. For a list of stores or to order directly, please visit wheatgrass.com

 

Pines Is the only wheatgrass and alfalfa producer to follow the standards established in 1937 by Charles F. Schnabel, the father of wheatgrass.

How can you get your kids and others in your family to eat more dark green vegetables? by Pines International

You can simply mix #organic Pines Wheat Grass with organic #chocolate syrup and milk (cow, goat, flax, coconut, cashew, almond or soy) or produce a beautiful smoothie like this one, but always buy your green food separately so you can see its color. Otherwise, if you buy your greens already mixed with chocolate you won't know if the chocolate was used to disguise poor quality greens with a bad color.

 

With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness because for 40 years, we have been growing and harvesting wheat grass correctly outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures and harvesting at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when it is 7 to 10 inches tall. We also provide the freshest possible product because we use amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, the devitalization that occurs from oxidation of #wheatgrass in plastic containers or paper packets does not occur. #PinesWheatGrass is also available in convenient and economical tablets. Whether tablets or powder, any Pines' #GreenSuperfood will provide the additional dark green leafy vegetable nutrition that experts say is missing from most diets.

 

CK Hall (@ckscooking) created this beautiful smoothie. CK is consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools!

 

Cherry #chocolate espresso #smoothie YUM

Double tap for smoothie love!

1 cup flaxmilk with protein

2 scoops vegan chocolate fudge protein

1/2 tsp ginger

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp espresso powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Thanks to Instagram user, @happygoddess0428, for this picture and caption: by Pines International

"Starting the day just like I end it! With Pines WheatGrass! This smoothie has #wheatgrasspowder, #spinach, apples, carrots with a touch of #kale. If you don't want the powder, the tablets are great too! Just consume with your #smoothie."

 

Studies indicate that as many as 9 out of 10 people do not eat the three or more servings of #wholefood #vegetables that doctors and governments recommend. Studies show those who eat plenty of vegetables, especially dark green ones like the @greensuperfoods from #Pines, live longer and are less likely to become ill.

 

Beginning in 1932, Charles Schnabel discovered the nutritional density of #wheatgrass harvested at a special time in the early spring that occurs only once each year. He dried it, made it into a powder, packaged it in special oxygen-free glass containers and made the it available to doctors and hospitals. The resulting body of research inspired Ann Wigmore and Steve Meyerowitz, who encourage people to use wheatgrass as a food. Meyerowitz dedicated his popular book to Schnabel and called him, "The Father of Wheatgrass."

 

Instead of a tray, Schnabel grew wheatgrass outdoors in often freezing temperatures. Real wheatgrass is not grown in a tray with seeds 300 times too close and 7 times faster than natural with roots unable to go deep into rich soil. Such freakish plants result in a juice that is far-too-sweet with only 25% the nutrition of real wheatgrass and with high levels of mold and bacteria. Pines is the only company to follow Dr. Schnabel's standards.

 

#PinesWheatGrass is the only powder and tablets from Kansas grown by sincere #organic farmers using modern facilities built for organic human food rather than feed for the confined-animal meat industry.

 

Pines is a #vegan friendly company that does not use plastic containers. We are the only Kansas wheatgrass grown in appropriate areas with plenty of natural rainfall, not irrigation.

GREENS ON THE GO! Pines' Green Superfoods give you Green Energy for that race-winning boost. Packed with protein and vitamins, just one serving equals a serving of a dark-green leafy vegetable. Give your body the health it needs in tablet, capsule o by Pines International

Pines' Green Superfoods give you Green Energy for that race-winning boost.

 

Packed with protein and vitamins, just one serving equals a serving of a dark-green leafy vegetable.

 

Give your body the health it needs in tablet, capsule or powder form. Cook with it, eat it raw, put into smoothies.

 

Pines was the official green food of the Kona Ironman Triathlon and has been the top green food choice for athletes for nearly 40 years. That's because top athletes don't take shortcuts on nutrition, and Pines doesn't take shortcuts in growing, harvesting or packaging its greens.

 

Check out all Pines' Products; Pines Wheat Grass, Pines Barley Grass, Pines Alfalfa, Mighty Greens and Green Duo.

 

Introduced in 1976, as the world's first green superfood, Pines products have never been packaged using wildlife-destructive plastic containers but have always been packaged in earth-friendly, amber glass bottles with special metal caps to seal in an oxygen-free environment, which prevents the nutrient loss through oxidation that occurs with plastic containers and paper packets.

 

Pines green superfoods are available at quality natural food stores everywhere.

 

Please go to wheatgrass.com for a list of stores or to order directly online.

As journalism major, Lindsey set full-time work aside to pursue her passion for writing, travel, and philanthropy. by Pines International

Here is what she had to say about Pines Alfalfa Tablets:

 

"Lately, I’ve been getting a boost of greens in an unexpected place: with alfalfa supplements from PINES, The Wheat Grass People. Alfalfa’s name is rooted in the Arabic word that literally means “father of all foods.” Its roots can grow up to 39 feet in length – extending deep into the earth for a variety of nutrients. PINES’ Alfalfa is a high-potency source of the antioxidant Vitamin A as Beta carotene. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin K, and contains Folic acid, as well as small amounts of Vitamin C, calcium and iron.

 

"When you see the word ‘alfalfa,’ you probably think about the sprouts we add to our salads. Although there are some nutrients in these nearly translucent wisps, a more complex source of nutrients and rich chlorophyll actually come from the dark green leaves of the established alfalfa plant months after it germinates and grows to a height of several feet outdoors in soil. PINES Alfalfa is the ONLY certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified alfalfa leaf."

 

A spoonful of Pines Alfalfa in water, #juice or #smoothie provides the equivalent of a generous serving of #kale or #spinach. Pines alfalfa and wheatgrass are also available in tablets. Both are convenient and economical ways to increase your dark #green #vegetable nutrition.

 

Pines is #vegan friendly and is unique as a Kansas producer of #wheatgrass and #alfalfa because our clean modern facilities have never been used to produce pesticide-based animal feed for the confined-animal, meat industry. We are the only company that still follows the 80-year quality standard of removing oxygen from glass bottles to prevent nutritional loss. That's why all Pines products provide more nutrition per dollar than devitalized greens in plastic tubs or paper packets.

CK works with a 35-year old company that provides cooking tools and recipe ideas to health-minded people through food and fellowship.

 

Avoid #GreenSuperfood blends in plastic containers. Not all wheatgrass is a beautiful dark green color like #PinesWheatGrass. Green #superfood blends with additives such as chocolate or spirulina, use the strong colors of such ingredients to disguise wheatgrass that can be more brown than green. Using Pines #WheatGrass and other single-ingredient products allows you see the color, note the aroma and other characteristics so you can judge the quality of each ingredient you use.

 

Pines does not produce complicated blends. Pines formulas are very simple, and all Pines ingredients are harvested at the right time and packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps. This kind of packaging allow Pines to remove the oxygen. That protects color and nutritional levels. Besides plastic tubs polluting our oceans and land fills, plastic does not protect green food nutrients from oxidation, which devitalizes sensitive #greenfood components.

Beautiful Healthy Couple Teach Nutrition and Use PINES by Pines International

This beautiful couple share a wonderful spiritual love. They also share eating plenty of dark green, leafy vegetables. They use and recommend green superfoods from Pines International for additional servings.

 

Jacqueline is a neonatal/pediatric nurse. She is healthy woman who works out regularly and eats nutritious food. She knows that studies show 9 out of 10 people do not eat enough green #vegetables. To increase her servings, she mixes #MightyGreens with water for a delicious beverage. She also takes #GreenDuo capsules when traveling. As a nurse, she sets an example and shares nutrition tips for every new mom she meets.

 

Elijah is a mixed martial arts strength coach (Instagram @fightfitnessllc.sbw). As a certified and licensed personal #trainer, he says, “I train models, #dancers, #bodybuilders, as well as #JuJitsu, #MuayThai and #boxing #athletes. I also train everyday people. In my opinion, nutrient-dense vegetables assist with muscle #recovery and maintaining #immune systems. Pines grows food rich in #antioxidants such as Pines Wheat Grass tablets (for on the go). They grow #PinesWheatGrass powder and Mighty Greens powder (for home/gym smoothie and shaker recipes).”

 

“Whether you train or not, your immune system’s strength determines how fast you heal and recover from colds, stress, flu, injuries and diseases. That’s why you need to eat your vegetables. Pines can help increase your green nutrition.”

 

Pines introduced the original #greensuperfood over 40 years ago with more than 100 small investors (average $200 each). They named the company after the pine tree because it is an international symbol of the peace in nature.

 

Pines is unique in the natural foods marketplace. That's because our products are not an “organic sideline” for a pesticide-based agribusiness or a major GMO based food corporation.

 

Instead, Pines grows its 100% Certified #Organic foods on small family farms. Our products are #Kosher, #glutenfree, #vegan, #raw and #NonGMOProject Verified as #GMOfree. Please use the locator at wheatgrass.com to find stores that carry Pines. You may also order direct.
