Tis the season for Omega-3 and we wish you a merry, cheerful holiday season and a prosperous new year!
To kick off the celebrations we recommend making almond nog (recipe by Oh She Glows) that is greatly complimented by our NOT Peanut Butter & Jelly O3 Omega Smoothie from Virun, that uses our algal oil delivering 400mg/g of plant-based Omega-3 DHA.
Philip Bromley describes NOT Peanut Butter & Jelly smoothie as all natural, small batch, creamy smooth California almond butter perfectly balanced with the sweet, summery simplicity of strawberry jam - peanut free and full of yum!
