and 20% exercise
Here's What The Research Says...
fitness is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise
In clincial trial comparing a control group, a group that only did exercise, a group that only focused on diet, and a group that focused on both exercise and diet, those who exercise alone did not see any changes in body weight. While the group that focused on both exercise + diet and diet alone did elicit the significant results

Here's how our plant-based superfoods
help you achieve your fitness goals
BURN
Apples may aid weight loss in several ways. They’re also particularly filling due to their high fiber content.
BONES & JOINTS
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in apples may promote bone health. What’s more, eating fruit may help preserve bone mass as you age.
HEART
Apples promote heart health in several ways. They’re high in soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol. They also have polyphenols, which are linked to lower blood pressure and stroke risk.
REGULATE
Clinical studies have found that daily consumption reduced feelings of stress and anxiety, pulse rate and blood pressure, and serum concentrations of cortisol and CRP.
STRENGTH
Study found improvement in sleep; reduction of total cholesterol and significant increase of strength in muscle activity.
ENHANCE
Ashwagandha can boost muscle strength, endurance, stamina, overall athletic performance, and muscle recovery rate. It can also help with maintaining a healthy weight.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Black pepper contains an active compound that has been shown to decrease inflammation in animals. Still, it’s unclear whether it has the same effects in humans.
ANTIOXIDANT
Black pepper is rich in a potent antioxidant called pipeline, which may help prevent free radical damage to your cells.
BLOOD SUGAR
Black pepper extract may improve blood sugar control, but more research is needed.
ANTIOXIDANT
Broccoli contains multiple potent antioxidants that may support healthy cells and tissues throughout your body.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Broccoli contains several bioactive compounds that demonstrate an anti-inflammatory effect in animal and test-tube studies. However, more human research is needed.
BONES & JOINTS
Many of the nutrients in broccoli — including calcium, vitamin K and phosphorus — are necessary for maintaining healthy bones. Additionally, early research indicates that certain antioxidants in broccoli may prevent some joint disorders.
RECOVERY
Offers post resistance exercise recovery. Yields comparable results to that of Whey.
BUILD
Leucine is a key factor when trying to maximize muscle protein synthesis — and plant-based proteins contain about 6-8% leucine
PROTECT
Evidence suggests that the intake of plant proteins associated with isoflavones may prevent the onset of risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
ANTIOXIDANT
Chia has high antioxidant capacity and novel isoflavone source that can be incorporated in human diet.
REPAIR
Chia seed reversed the impaired insulin stimulated glycogen synthase activity, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate and GLUT-4 protein levels as well as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.
IMPROVE
Decrease in postprandial glycemia provides a potential explanation for improvements in blood pressure, coagulation and inflammatory markers previously observed after 12-week Salba supplementation in type II diabetes.
BUILD
Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein, which has a variety of health benefits, ranging from weight management to bone health. They are a great choice for individuals who avoid animal products.
APPETITE CONTROL
Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber, which makes them a filling food that may help lower appetite and reduce calorie intake at meals.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Chickpeas contain a moderate amount of calories and are high in fiber and protein, all properties that play a role in weight management.
VITAMINS & MINERALS
Bell peppers are very high in vitamin C, with a single one providing up to 169% of the RDI. Other vitamins and minerals in bell peppers include vitamin K1, vitamin E, vitamin A, folate, and potassium.
ANTIOXIDENT
Bell peppers contain many healthy antioxidants, including capsanthin, violaxanthin, lutein, quercetin, and luteolin. These plant compounds are associated with many health benefits.
REGULATE
Daily supplementation of green tea extract has shown to be effective in lowering blood pressure, improving insulin resistance, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress and lipid profile in patients with obesity related hypertension.
BURN
Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content. The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via sympathetic activation of thermogenesis, fat oxidation or both.
ESSENTIAL
The two main proteins in hempseed are edestin and albumin. Both of these high-quality storage proteins are easily digested and contain nutritionally significant amounts of all essential amino acids. In addition, hempseed has exceptionally high levels of the amino acid arginine.
PROTECT
Essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) can have cardiovascular health benefits.
BUILD
About 25% of the calories in hemp seeds come from protein. What’s more, they contain all the essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source.
BLOOD SUGAR
In these studies, rats that received holy basil extract saw a 24 percent decrease in blood sugar after 30 days. Blood sugar in rats that were fed holy basil leaf powder also decreased after a month.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Imagine being able to tackle stress, anxiety, and inflammation with a relaxing cup of tea made with the leaves of holy basil. As an adaptogen with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, holy basil provides all of these benefits.
ENDURANCE
In the case of physical stress, holy basil is known to increase endurance in animals. Animals who had holy basil leaf extracts and went through environment-induced stress scenarios showed, enhanced metabolism, improved swimming time, less tissue damage, lower stress levels in loud environments.
WEIGHT LOSS
As a nutrient-dense, low-calorie food, kale makes an excellent addition to a weight loss diet.
ANTIOXIDANT
Many powerful antioxidants are found in kale, including quercetin and kaempferol, which have numerous beneficial effects on health.
ESSENTIAL
Kale is very high in nutrients and very low in calories, making it one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.
IMPROVE
Clinical studies have found that supplements with pea protein promoted a greater increase of muscle thickness, especially for people starting or returning to a muscular strengthening.
BUILD
In a controlled study of 161 men who performed resistance training for 12 weeks, the group who consumed 50 g of pea protein daily experienced similar increases in muscle thickness to the group who took 50 grams of whey protein per day.
ANTIOXIDENT
Green peas are fairly low in calories and contain several vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They’re also high in fiber and protein
ANTIOXIDANT
Quinoa is high in flavonoids, antioxidants that help in cellular repair and body functions.
ESSENTIAL
Quinoa and Buckwheat seeds/sprouts represent rich sources of polyphenol compounds that enhance the nutritive properties of foods.
BLOOD SUGAR
Human study showing quinoa with lower GI than bread and pasta, improved blood sugar and triglycerides.
ESSENTIAL
Spinach boasts many plant compounds that can improve health, such as lutein, kaempferol, nitrates, quercetin, and zeaxanthin.
