The good people at Nootrobox (a company that sells something called 'cognitive enhancers') decided that busy Silicon Valley types needed chewable coffee cubes to enhance their performance. They're available via the website, and I might have to start factoring them into my food budget. Even though Paleo as we've come to know it is kinda bullshit, the meals were delicious. The Sharks liked the food too, but ultimately passed because they felt the valuation of the company was unclear (do the Sharks get any prep materials about these companies before the pitches? Do they see financial documents and business plans?). I tried two meals, Thai curry meatballs and butternut squash lasagna, and both were well-seasoned and fresh-tasting. Ice Age Meals are frozen dishes that adhere to strict paleo guidelines delivered to your home. I, however, am a strict adherent of 'the take-out diet,' which includes anything and everything that I don't actually have to cook myself. Folks who go paleo stay away from flour, sugar, and processed carbohydrates. Thus they follow a diet used by our pre-agricultural ancestors-if cavemen ate it, they can too. Paleo Dieters believe that our bodies haven't actually evolved to tolerate our modern food consumption.
I don't think they'll become a regular part of my wellness routine. I woke up the next morning with only mild muscle soreness, which was great, though it did take me five minutes to actually swallow 30 algae tablets (I accidentally chewed one and almost gagged from the taste). In the name of research, I had an intense workout and downed some RECOVERYbits after. Its promise to reduce instances of muscle ache after a workout seemed more realistic.
I opted to try the RECOVERYbits with Chlorella, which was said to "bind to all toxins (including alcohol in your bloodstream) and eliminate them from the body." All toxins? If this actually worked, bartenders would hand it out during happy hour. Chlorella and Spirulina (yum, right?) are reportedly a good source of protein, and according to research, Spirulina can bolster your immune system and provide anti-viral properties. ENERGYbits are basically a clever name for two types of algae that Arnston claims American consumers are missing in their diets. When ENERGYbits founder, Catharine Arnston, showed up on Shark Tank with her amazing eyewear-an indicator of wisdom-and a bunch of reasons people should consume algae, I thought: M aybe I can be the kind of person who takes thirty algae pellets a day. Then I laughed and stuffed a handful of potato chips into my mouth.
