Pure Synergy & Sun is Shining and other Super Powders

[Jax]

LOL this is the one I was trying to remember Karen :o David Wolfe promotes Sun is Shining Superfood which is his product, and also Pure Synergy (which isn't his, is cheaper and more available in the UK ;) ).

Pure Synergy states it has over 60 green foods, herbs, fruits and othe botanicals in it. I've copied and pasted the list of ingredients at the bottom of this post. I can't remember where I first bought it so I'll have to root through my receipts :rolleyes:

The Sun is Shining I haven't tried, so maybe Karen can review it here ;) But I have added the ingredient list at the bottom, I have to say so far I haven't found any UK stockists :( It's available on David's site (http://www.sunfood.com/buy/1/34/7/Sun-Is-Shining---Green-Superfood--raw--organic---wildcrafted-ingredients-/0441.aspx)for $59.95, which takes you over the £18 threshold when you have to pay duty, so you're better off finding someone who's making a trip to the U.S, to bring some back for you!!
