Sweethearts need sweet treats, right? Whether you’re sending something with the kiddos for their school’s Valentine’s Day festivities or treating
your inner child—indulge with two brands reimagining candy classics with Certified Organic, non-GMO, and artificial-free ingredients.

Are you more of a Cinnamon Bear or a Gummy Worm type? Or does DelishFish call your name? Surf Sweets® is serving them all without involving any of the top eight allergens, including milk, wheat, peanuts, and more. How’s that for hitting the candy jackpot? Surf Sweets candy is also Certified Gluten Free and Certified Organic or made with organic ingredients!

When sweet treats make you smile, but junk ingredients do not—you need Natural Grocers Brand Organic Jolly Beans. These vegan candies come in a delightful mix of fruity flavors, including tropical mango, red cherry, and sweet strawberry; plus, they’re Certified Organic and free of artificial additives. Jolly Beans is all about family, too—our family brand has partnered with another family-owned company to bring your family the good4u upgrade in sweet indulgences!

 


Breakfast in Bed

A great philosopher once said—“the greatest pleasure in life is…” breakfast in bed? Maybe they really said it’s love, but how better to show someone you love them than by starting their day with a delicious trayful of coffee, pancakes, and bacon?! And there’s hardly an easier way to do it than with these Natural Grocers Brand Products tailor-made for the occasion!

 

Begin by filling their favorite mug with the aromatic delight of Natural Grocers Brand Organic Flavored Coffee! Featuring hand-picked arabica beans for premium quality and taste, it’s also Certified Organic and Certified Fair Trade. The natural flavorings create a subtle, smooth cuppa without the harsh, artificial finish of many conventional alternatives. Choose from year-round classics like Hazelnut and French Vanilla or cozy seasonal exclusives such as Pecan Caramel Pie, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Mexican Hot Chocolate. You know what puts a smile on your sweetie’s face!

 

Add a short stack of pancakes courtesy of Natural Grocers Brand Pancake & Waffle Mix. Certified Gluten-Free, this mix is created with a blend of coconut and cassava flours, delivering a satisfying pancake texture that will appeal to your gluten fans, too! It’s Non-GMO Project Verified, dairy free, and best served with pasture-based butter and a side of Natural Grocers Brand Organic Maple Syrup. Finish with a sizzling serving of Natural Grocers Brand Hickory Smoked Uncured Bacon in two varieties—with or without sugar. Its mouthwatering, meaty taste is thanks to the European “Red” duroc breed of pig, known for its exceptional marbling and texture combined with the expertise of a sixth-generation family of farmers. Humanely raised and fed non-GMO grain, our bacon is antibiotic-free and has no added nitrates or nitrites.

 


Natural Factors® CoQ10 Speaks to Matters of the Heart*

Sweethearts need sweet treats, right? Whether you’re sending Romance needs chocolate (or cards, or flowers…) to function normally on Valentine’s Day, just like your body needs Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to support normal heart function and the energy-producing powerhouse of your cells—the mitochondria. When it comes to matters of the heart, CoQ10 is especially critical, because this compound, found in every cell of the body, is vital for supporting the high energy demands of healthy heart function. It also promotes cardiovascular health (and health in general) by acting as a potent free radical scavenger.

Enter Natural Factors® Coenzyme Q10 100% All-Natural Form. It delivers CoQ10 in its ordinary ubiquinone form instead of ubiquinol, a reduced form often promoted as more bioavailable. However, recent research indicates that the body uses the natural form more efficiently, and it may support heart health more effectively than ubiquinol. And, drumroll, please—it’s less expensive! Natural Factors’ formula is also unique in featuring a base of rice bran oil rather than soybean oil, frequently used in similar products.

When you choose Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10, you’re choosing the quality assurance of an industry leader for 60+ years—still family-run and privately owned. All Natural Factors supplements are third-party ISURA® verified (similar to third-party GMP), which includes testing for GMOs, almost 700 contaminants, authenticity, and label accuracy. Best of all— it’s on a sweet sale this month for you and your sweethearts!
