Oakland Coffee Brings 100% Compostable Single-Serve Cups to Life

Image
On my last trip to Newport Beach, my husband and I could not believe all the plastic, single-serve cups strewn along the shore.  I never liked the idea of single-serve cups to begin with due the waste factor, so one can imagine my utter joy to find Oakland Coffee's 100% compostable cups at the 2017 Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim.  The lovely women at the booth gave me a couple of samples, which I tried it at the hotel the following morning...good, strong single-serving of organic coffee.  After I finished my coffee, I placed the used coffee grounds compostable cups in a bag, and fed them to my garden when I returned home, literally, the best of both worlds.  Now, I just might buyh one of those single-serve coffee machines! https://oaklandcoffee.com/oakland-coffee-works/

Nearly everyone should add chia seeds to their diets.  I use them in my raw chia puddings, as well  as an egg replacement in baked recipes.  The link below provides some valuable information to determine if they will be healthy for you.  If you have the time and inclination you can grow and harvest your own chia seeds. http://nimbleful.hubpages.com/hub/Chia-Seeds-Benefits-and-Side-Effects Link to growing your own chia seed:  http://longtimemother.hubpages.com/hub/How-I-grow-and-harvest-organic-Chia
