BIOAVAILABLE PAIRS Your microbiome is your body’s own little ecosystem made up of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses. A majority of these microbes live in your gut. Managing microbial balance helps maintain ideal overall health and key supplements can support this balance.

LEARN MORE

RESTORE & REFRESH Times and circumstances may be challenging but the remedy is in a strong connection between mind, body, and spirit. In addition to a healthy diet, good nutrition, and regular exercise, look for products that replenish your body’s needs; maintaining energy, achieving relaxation, sleeping well, and managing stress.

Bioavailability is the ability of a supplement to be absorbed and used by the body. While taking a supplement on its own gives benefits, pairing key items together maximizes the effects, resulting in your body getting more functionality out of each dose.

LEARN MORE

MICROBIOME SUPPORT The new year is the perfect time to start fresh with a focus on taking care of your body. Level up your workouts and support your individual needs with specialized products that include protein supplementation, hydration, superfoods, and cleanses.

California love

LOCAL FARMS AND FAMILY PRODUCERS With the widest selection of organic produce in Southern California for over 40 years, Mother’s is your organic produce destination. Bringing Orange County and Los Angeles residents the best in organic fruits and vegetables does not just happen. Through years of vetting, forming, and maintaining relationships with local farms and family producers, we are able to bring you the best of the best.

Located in Brawley, California, Doc’s Organics is a family-owned and operated exclusively organic citrus facility. Doc’s Organics was established by the Dockstaders, a family that has been farming since 1995. Uncle Pat Dockstader has been farming in the Imperial Valley since 1995. Since then, nephew Dusty Dockstader and his wife, Gina Dockstader have teamed up to nourish and grow quality organic fruit. Gina’s family has been farming in the Imperial Valley for four generations. Doc’s Organics is proud to grow, pack, and transport all organic citrus. They are proud to offer a fully certified Organic Only Packing Facility using the most modern methods of washing, sorting, sizing, and packing to ensure consistent quality and organic integrity of the product.

This season, Doc’s Organics is sourcing Mother’s with its delicious Organic Honeybell Minneola Tangelos. The sweet, intense flavor of the tangerines comes through in a tangelo but is tempered by the tart and tangy, flowery taste of grapefruit. This results in a fruit that is sweet-tart, exotic in flavor, and extremely juicy. Due to being grown in the desert climate, the Organic Honeybell Minneola Tangelos grown specifically by Doc’s Organics have a thicker skin like a grapefruit, in comparison to ones that grow in the Central Valley, leading to fewer decay issues at the stem.

Stretch Stretching out after workouts or any form of exercise can limit muscle and joint strain. This can also reduce soreness levels and prevent tightening of muscles that can result in postworkout injuries if not stretched properly. Other benefits include increased flexibility and range of motion, improved blood circulation, and muscular coordination.

Roll Out With similar benefits to stretching, rolling out is another great way to decrease muscle tension and increase range of motion and flexibility, while making your muscles more receptive to stretching.

Hydrate While staying hydrated has many benefits to overall health, drinking water before, throughout, and after workouts has been proven to significantly reduce muscle soreness. Water or other electrolyte beverages are great resources to prevent and soothe tight muscles.

Dr. Bronner's Magic Organic Lip Balm Dr. Bronner's lip balm is all-natural, made with no synthetic ingredients. Organic beeswax, jojoba, avocado, and hemp oils are combined for optimal moisturization and protection. Infused with essential oils for fragrance, the lip balm is offered in peppermint, orange ginger, and lemon-lime. A "naked" (no scent) option is also available.

Mineral Fusion Setting Powder Mineral Fusion's Setting Powder is the perfect product for absorbing excess oils, leaving a matte finish.

Kids’ healthy lunch ideas

FUN WAYS TO USE COOKIE CUTTERS

The new year is a great time to amp up your kids' school lunches with healthy choices, especially after indulging during the holidays! If food looks fun to eat, your kids will be more likely to eat what you pack them, so why not make it more fun? Go digging for those cookie cutters you haven't seen in a while and put them to good use.

Sandwich Art

Salami and Cheese Hearts

Use a large cookie cutter to create cool shapes out of sandwiches. This will add a little more fun to an ordinary PB&J. No matter the shape, the cookie cutters will make any sandwich that much more enjoyable!

Sending salami, cheese, and crackers in your child's lunch? Use a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter to create heart-shaped salami and cheese slices. A tasty way to send love. Add some crackers, and you will have a great-looking snack ready to pack!

Apple Slices

Fruit Stars

Instead of cutting an apple from top to bottom, slice crosswise. Then use a small cookie cutter to take out the core. It's more sustainable, and your apple becomes art!

Using small star cookie cutters, you can punch out fruit such as watermelon, pineapple, apples, and more to create a starry night right in your kid's lunchbox!

Help the environment 4 WAYS TO BE MORE SUSTAINABLE We can always learn new ways to help our environment. There are even ways to help in your kitchen! It's the smallest changes that can make the biggest impact. By adjusting your shopping and storing habits, the planet will thank you! Here are a few easy ways to be more sustainable this year.

Use Reusable Shopping Bags

Glass Meal Prep Containers

It takes a lot of time to make plastic bags plus they can take thousands of years to break down and they can harm wildlife! Reusable bags are great for the grocery store as well as the mall, road trips, work, and more! They're also strong and durable meaning no leaks or tears! Mother's has some great reusable bag options that you can choose from during your next shopping trip.

The benefits of using glass food containers are endless! It's safer for food storage because plastic containers have unwanted chemicals that can migrate into your food (especially during microwave heating). In addition, glass is a natural material meaning it's sealed, so no leaks or unwanted visitors. They last forever and if broken, you can recycle them!

Reusable Water Bottles

Reusable Produce Bags

Reusable water bottles are great because you can fill them with whatever you want from a hot latte to ice-cold water. Unlike plastic water bottles, these vacuuminsulated containers are designed to keep beverages cold for 40 hours or hot for 16. Plastic water bottle production requires 17 million bottles of oil a year while reusable bottles require much less time and resources. You can also personalize them by picking various colors and stickers, so you always know which water bottle is yours! If you're looking for a new reusable water bottle, Mother's has a large assortment of Hydro Flasks to choose from.

Reusable produce bags are not only cheap but extremely easy to use! When going to the grocery store, use these bags for any fruits or veggies you need. Because of their cotton material, you can wash your reusable bags and then keep using them so that your produce always stays clean. Super easy and no waste!
