Day 9 - The Root Cellar

The Root Cellar is owned by Naturopathic Doctor Kali Simmons, and has two locations in downtown Charlottetown - both specializing in high-quality supplements, organic skin care products, groceries, bulk spices and healthy snacks. One shop is located in the Confederation Court Mall (which was formerly known as Nature’s Harvest) and the second shop is located on 34 Queen Street. The Confederation Court Mall location has a Blenderz Juice Bar which offers a variety of delicious fruit smoothies and vegetable juices. 

Since our health is our most precious asset, gifts to help improve our health are worth their weight in gold.

I visited both Root Cellar locations to pick out items for #MyDowntownWishList :

Queen Street location:

If I only had $25 a month to spend at the Root Cellar the two things I would purchase are Udo’s Oil and bee pollen – both are miraculous superfoods. Other items I love are Green Beaver products, Vega products, and Stash Holiday Teas. Also, I recently discovered "Endangered Species" chocolate bars, not only are they amazing but they donate 10% of net profits to partner organizations that support species conservation, habitat preservation and humanitarian efforts. Win-win!

Confederation Court Mall Location: 

Chia seeds are another superfood I can't do without - they are excellent in oatmeal, smoothies and you can even drink them in your water. I also love Hemp Hearts in salads and yogurt. These are the kinds of things that are great for Christmas gifts, if you can find items your family and friends already use, they are guaranteed to love your gift.

I've always wanted to make my own sprouts for salads and sandwiches, now with this little Sprouting Jar gadget and Sprouting Mix I can. Can't wait to try it!

There are so many quality products at the Root Cellar, take a moment to drop in and see for yourself. Their knowledgeable staff can help recommend products that will best fit your lifestyle. You can also find them on Facebook and Google+. Your health will thank you for it :)
