Cantaloupe

Raw Goats Milk

Sashami

Beef Jerky (NON commercial, homemade)

Berries of all variety's

Peppers " " "

Nuts " " " (sprouted if possible)

Spinach (and all dark greens)

Eggs (stop overcooking them, guys!)

I could go on for some time, especially if I added in supplements from our line - which in many ways trump the above, but are used in conjunction with the above and so much more.

I essentially aim for organic, unadulterated and nutrient dense "super foods" as a rule and clean, mineral rich WATER is key to everything for the athlete IMO.

That has to be THE core if you ask me, in fact, water.

Most of them, b/c of the pasteurization are heated. What are you going to do... Would love to see cold processed egg whites

A guy who has lifted with us forever always told me about "sunny side up is where it's at" and I dismissed him for 20 years.

The dude is right I discovered about 5 years ago, both in taste and performance realization.

You've just got to open your mind a bit.

I never thought I'd be praising raw Salmon 20 years ago, either.

But, back to eggs... eat those things, a dozen a week at least. Soft boiled or sunny side up is best by far IMO, but fried hard is still a bit better than the egg white powders ( https://bodybuildingsupplements.com/newsletter93.html ).

IF you know they are fully organic and airtight (drop 'em in a glass of water and look for bubbles), then add 'em to your post workout MASS PRO to extend the protein uptake window further - or down them like ROCKY!

Yeh dont see any cold processed eggs supp

I think ill just down them like before and use something to mask them.I really dont enjoy eating them, especially when runny.Much easyier to pop a good 6-8 eggs with a load of cream and honey

I dont like rocky, crap actor and he uses roids so its different

Back on the superfoods topic I ordered 2x greens

I think thats the most smileys ive used in a post

(and the more raw the more nutritious ORGANIC eggs are)

I honestly could not support eggs more, I tend to eat 4-6 every single day. Scrambled, sunny side up, hard boiled, they are all good to me.

I also love cottage cheese. God I eat a ton of it.

I have not had it a long time, but I can understand the cottage cheese addiction, Sova.

I'm like that about Split Creek Farm Goat's milk, up BP'er Hank's way, in South Carolina.

When I'm running low, like now, I call and beg them to send double!

Sweet Potato is one I should have listed, too.

Yeh I like Mr T and the russian guy.I think the scenes where his friends die in both those movies are hilarious.
