NUVIACAFE Instant Coffee packets

NUVIACAFE INSTANT COFFEE is super delicious! And the pocket-sized packets are so handy, you can take them anywhere!
I have never been much of a coffee drinker, especially not BLACK coffee. However, when I tried Nuviacafe's instant coffee, I was amazed at the authentic, rich flavor, and with a little stevia, I sweetened it up (not too much - really doesn't need it). 
It contains cancer-fighting antioxidants from Pomegranate Extract, Ganoderma Extract and African Mango Seed Extract. 
Check out more information on their website: http://www.nuviacafe.com/

Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse away.

Most Common Crops Grown = Most Common Food Allergens

Just something to ponder...

Have you ever considered the fact that the most common crops grown such as WHEAT, CORN, & SOY are also some of the most common foods that people are SENSITIVE and/or ALLERGIC to? A large majority of these crops are also GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMO) or GENETICALLY ENGINEERED.
