Food is more than just sustenance – it's our medicine, our nourishment, our lifeline. It's the key to supporting her family's health in the most delicious way possible.
How did it all begin?
The brand Coco all started with a diagnosis that turned my world upside down. When my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), I knew that I had to do everything in my power to help my little one thrive. And that's when the NEW superfood journey began. I had already created superfood tea lattes and so since my daughter enjoyed a hot chocolate with breakfast, it was not a far stretch to start sneaking superfoods into that........without that pick little eater even knowing!
What are superfoods, anyway?
Superfoods are like the superheroes of the food world – packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and all sorts of good stuff that can work wonders for your health. From vibrant berries to nutrient-dense greens, these powerhouse ingredients are the secret weapons in this mom's culinary arsenal.
How do I use superfoods in her recipes?
It's all about getting creative in the kitchen. I sneak avocado and spinach into smoothies, adds chia seeds to her morning oatmeal, and whips up decadent avocado chocolate mousse for dessert. Every meal is a chance to pack in as many superfoods as possible, all while keeping things fun and flavorful. When my older daughter was 11 she proudly stated to a friend the 'she had never had an avocado'. I chimed in.....'you have one every day'. The look of shock on her face was priceless!
Why go the extra mile?
Because when it comes to my family's health, I doesn't mess around. I know that every bite or sip counts, and I am determined to make each one count (well almost...lets get real, we all need to blow it sometimes) for something good. Whether it's boosting immunity, supporting digestion, or fighting inflammation, superfoods are her secret weapon in the battle for wellness.
What's the end goal?
Ultimately, this journey motivated me to create a whole new brand that is now part of our daily life. Packed with superfoods like carob, maca and raw cacao that all about nourishing my girls from the inside out. By harnessing the power of superfoods, I am not only feeding my loved ones – but healing them, protecting them, and showing them just how delicious healthy eating can be. It's a superfood revolution, sip at a time. Without my picky little eater even knowing!
