Easter Treats


Hummingbird Chocolate
Hummingbird Chocolate bars

Great for Easter and new to our store, Hummingbird chocolate is absolutely delicious! Hummingbird has always been about the chocolate; a love story to cacao beans told in tablet form. They love exploring the flavours that play perfectly with their cacao beans!


Chocosol



Chocosol Chocolate Bars

Chocosol Chocolate Bars make an excellent Easter treat. Bean-to-bar chocolate crafted with care, they take raw cacao beans and roast, winnow, and grind them using volcanic stone—an ancient technique that preserves the rich flavours and natural benefits of cacao, like antioxidants, iron, and magnesium.


Zazubean Chocolate



Zazubean Chocolate Bars

Zazubean Chocolate has a huge diversity of flavours to choose from that all equally taste delicious. They want to offer not only the best tasting chocolate, but chocolate that is good for you! They don’t put any Junk or weird stuff into their bars, no fillers or additives - just clean, simple ingredients.

Paper Plate Easter Bunny


Supplies Needed:


Construction Paper

Pom-Poms


Pipe Cleaner


Googly Eyes

Small Paper Plates


Glue


Directions:


1. Make the whiskers.


For the whiskers: take 3 pipe cleaners and twist them around each other in the center so that they are connected/stuck together. The part you twist is the hidden part that will go under the nose (pom pom) and will be hidden. This will leave you with the whiskers sticking out on both sides.

Then glue to the paper plate. Leave time to let dry as this step will require it to be glued well or the pipe cleaners will fall off.


 2. Glue on the pom pom nose.


Once glue is dry from the pipe cleaners, now glue on your nose (pom pom)


3. Make the ears.


For the ears: Cut out some ears from white construction paper or cardstock and then cut out a smaller inside ear with a different color. We chose pink and yellow. Glue both pieces together and then glue or tape to the back of the paper plate.

4. Add the eyes and mouth.


For the eyes: We used googly eyes and just glued them on but you could also use construction paper and make the eyes yourself.


For the mouth: We simply just drew on the mouth with a black marker.

3. Paint the egg cartons a spring color.


We love baby blue, yellow and pink paint colors that match the mini eggs!



4. Cut 2 bunny ear shapes out of the foam.


Two pieces of foam that have been fashioned to look like bunny ears

5. Once the paint has dried, add the eyes and pink pom pom for the nose with glue.

What is Shilajit? Shilajit is a sticky substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas. It develops over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants and is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known for boosting energy, testosterone and preventing cognitive decline. What Are the Benefits of Taking Shilajit? Testosterone: Taking shilajit may improve testosterone levels in men. In one clinical study , half of the participants were given a placebo, and half were given a 250 milligram (mg) dose of purified shilajit twice a day. After 90 consecutive days, the study found that participants receiving purified shilajit had a significantly higher testosterone level compared to the placebo group. Fatigue: Naturally boosting your body’s mitochondrial function with shilajit supplements may help improve energy levels. Since shilajit is rich in fulvic acid, a strong antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, it may also protect against free radicals and cellular damage. As a result, regular use of shilajit may contribute to longevity, a slower aging process, and overall better health. Menopause: During menopause, many females can begin to lose bone mass, making bones weaker. Taking Shilajit supplements daily may help postmenopausal women with bone mass loss improve their bone mineral density. Prevent Cognitive Decline: The fulvic acid in shilajit contributes to cognitive health by preventing the accumulation of tau protein. Tau proteins are an important part of your nervous system, but a buildup can trigger brain cell damage. How To Use Shilajit Shilajit is available in powder, capsule and liquid forms. For powder use, simply add a 1/4 tsp to a glass of water or milk and consume, for liquid use, same thing just dissolve a small drop into your drink. For capsule use, take the capsules with food.

Whether you're a die-hard matcha lover, enjoy the occasional matcha, or are trying it for the first time - an iced matcha latte is a great place to start. Especially in the summer heat, an iced matcha latte is a great way to get a caffeine boost while staying cool - and avoiding that post-coffee crash. Did you know? Matcha doesn't give you the caffeine jitters or crash because it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and counters the stimulating effects of caffeine! Here are 3 ways to enjoy an iced matcha latte this summer: Traditional, Whipped, & Strawberry!
