A few years ago none of us had even heard of Goji berries… and now they’re everywhere! (Including, if you like, in your Mojamix.) But why? What exactly is the big deal about these little, wrinkly, red bits? First, a bit of history. Goji berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical [...]

Quinoa (Keen-wah!) has been an important human food for an incredibly long 6,000 years. The Incas considered quinoa to be sacred. They called it “chisaya mama,” or “mother of all grains.” The emperor would traditionally sow the first seeds of the season with tools made of gold. Compared to other grains, quinoa is higher in [...]

We’d like to give a big shout-out this week to Ittybits for recognizing how great Mojamix is for the little ones. After all, what’s more ideal for the picky eater than a huge buffet of options to be mixed and matched at will? That buffet is exactly what our unique ordering process provides. Among the millions–yes, millions! of [...]

“There’s one thing we almost forgot,” said the fairy godmother. “You’ll need an awful lot of energy if you’re going to dance the night away after scrubbing and scouring all day. Here, take this cereal—it’s got everything you love the best and nothing you don’t. Not to mention the nutritional support you need for glowing [...]

There’s a festival atmosphere in town tonight, as carbo-loading marathoners get psyched for the Big Day. I’m in a motel room with my ice chest and the yellow pages, mulling over my dinner options. Electrolyte drink that tastes like watered down koolaid? Blech. Gummy pasta with little nutritional value beyond the carbs I want to [...]

As sixteenth century William Butler said, “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.” Loaded with vitamin C, strawberries are also a great source of maganese, vitamin K, potassium, iron, and folic acid. And of course, that deep red color means they are full of antioxidants too. Strawberries are [...]

Okay people, we’ve talked about the wonders of raw chocolate (cacao nibs). We’ve talked about how the sheer deliciousness of chocolate made hot cocoa-swigging fools of both Europe and the Americas. Now, for the third of our four-part series on chocolate, we’re going to talk about nutrition. Chocolate, both in raw, nibby form and processed, [...]

For the next few blog posts we’re going to be looking at the best thing in the world: chocolate. (Okay, fine, one of the two best things in the world. Three, if you count MojaMix.) One of my very favorite of the chocolate offerings on the MojaMix menu is cacao nibs–and for good reason. [...]
Have y’all checked out the nifty nutrition calculator on our site? It calculates all the nutrition label information for your cereal AS you create it—so for instance you can add walnuts, and see how much protein per serving walnuts add. Then you can subtract them, add hazelnuts, and compare. It’s fun! Yes, I admit it—I [...]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why? Because while you sleep, your body uses energy to repair cell damage, keep your heart beating, and your brain dreaming! By the time you wake up, you’re running on fumes—in the form of glucose stored in your blood, muscles, and liver. Without a good breakfast, [...]
