The only way for us to get Omega 3s into our bodies is through food sources. So, what foods are high is Omega 3s? The list is lengthy, but here are a few: canola, flaxseed, walnuts, brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, salads, and fatty fish (i.e. salmon). It is important to eat 1 source of Omega 3 EVERYDAY!

I get my serving of Omega 3s EVERY SINGLE DAY! Do you know how? It is simple and easy! I whip up Shakeology every morning and have it for breakfast. I love that it is SO good (and it is chocolate) but also that it is filled with so many nutrient groups that fuel my body and help fight against diseases and conditions that could harm me.
