RECIPE NICE CREAM 14 L-THEANINE FOR BETTER BRAIN HEALTH NUTRITION EDUCATION

H er smile was usually framed in bright lipstick, sometimes with a little smear of red on her teeth, and filled with warmth. Margaret Isely's smile could melt ice if smiles ever could… and hearts. It was that genuine, bubbling out of a woman who was always herself. She saw no other way to live than the full-on embracing of it all… struggle and success, loss and love, and the gut-strong belief that the people who crossed her path mattered. "Promise yourself … to give every living creature you meet a smile." –The Optimist Creed

68TH ANNIVERSARY PRIZES AND CONTEST

So as we celebrate 68 years of Natural Grocers ® this August, we remember Margaret and the legacy of values she left us. It's how we explain who we are as a business and a family. Our Five Founding Principles are rooted in the ideas Margaret (and her husband Philip) taught us to treasure, both in concept and by example. She taught us that nutrition is the foundation for wellbeing, and knowledge about it is one of the most important gifts we can give. The Crew was family to her, and she always led with her heart. Generosity and inclusion defined her actions. And from a food cupboard for helping neighbors in need to the one-on-one time she spent with countless customers, a commitment to community wasn't just something Margaret preached. It's how she lived. She was an advocate in the most active sense of the word, leading grassroots campaigns to ensure access to safe dietary supplements, helping to create organic standards, partnering with functional medicine researchers to bring nutrition education curriculum to medical doctors and so much more. When her fierce passion for protecting human health and the planet's wellbeing was ignited, she didn't take no for an answer. And she taught us to always look for the why—a question that matters in every aspect of our business, from quality standards to crew interactions. When Margaret and Philip started Natural Grocers, they had little money and hungry mouths to feed. So, making a healthier lifestyle a ordable for every family is something we're committed to providing, despite our world's ever-changing landscape. It's a living legacy of who our parents (and grandparents) were and what they valued most. Thank you, Margaret, for helping people know that they matter. We host our anniversary party in your birth month because everything we have become holds shades of you. And thank you to our incredible Crew, too. We are so grateful you’ve chosen to share your gifts with us! The Isely Family With gratitude, OU 5 FOUNDING P INCIPLES

Creamy, sweet, and so easy to make (no ice cream maker required!), nice cream is a perfect hot weather treat—keep a bag of frozen banana slices in the freezer so you can make it anytime the craving strikes. Use the following recipes as a guide, adding more or less of an ingredient to suit your tastes, or create your own delicious versions. Find more flavor ideas at naturalgrocers.com/recipes (search “nice cream”). Nice ream Nice ream

SERVES: 4 | PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 3 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES (INCLUDING FREEZE TIME)

Peanut Bu hocolate hip Nice ream • 4 cups frozen organic banana slices • 4 tablespoons Natural Grocers ® Brand Organic Coconut Cream, blended smooth • 6 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Peanut Butter • Dash of Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt • 1-2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup (optional) • ¼ - ½ cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips

T pical Nice ream • 2 cups frozen organic banana slices • 4 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Cream, blended smooth • 2 cups Natural Grocers Brand Organic Frozen Pineapple • Zest of one organic lime (optional for topping) • ¼ cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Toasted Coconut Chips (optional for topping)

Instructions 1. To make the frozen bananas, peel 6-7 medium, ripe organic bananas (should have a few brown spots) and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for three hours or overnight. If you don’t intend to make the nice cream soon, transfer the frozen slices to an airtight freezer bag to store.

2. In a food processor, process the frozen bananas until chopped then add the coconut cream and blend, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides and mix until mostly smooth. Do not overprocess, or the nice cream won’t freeze properly. Add any additional ingredients and process briefly. Taste and add optional maple syrup and adjust any other ingredients to suit your tastes. 3. For a soft-serve style nice cream serve immediately with optional toppings. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least two hours for a firmer nice cream. Depending on how frozen the nice cream is, you may need to let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes to soften slightly before scooping and serving. Note: If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender, just be aware that you may end up with a softer consistency of nice cream. You may also need to add an additional 2-4 tablespoons of coconut cream to facilitate blending.

L-THEANINE for Better Brain Health By Liz Mueller

Who doesn’t want to feel calm, cool, and collected? How about less stressed, and focused but re axed? The amino acid L-theanine can help you achieve better focus and a more re axed state of mind. And while focus and stress-relieving pharmaceutical medications can leave a trail of unwanted side effects, this mighty amino acid strikes the perfect ba ance between clear-headed thinking, alertness, and feeling less stressed and depressed, not to mention fostering better sleep—with no negative side effects. It’s time to tell that frazzled, scattered feeling to scram. Give your brain a helping hand with L-theanine!

L-Theanine in Focus for Cognitive Function

The magic of L-theanine lies in its ability to increase activity of alpha brain waves, which induce a feeling of calm relaxation, without causing drowsiness. A study investigating the e ect of 250 mg of L-theanine on alpha brain waves in subjects found that L-theanine had a significant e ect on the general state of mental alertness, and plays a more general role in “…facilitating longer-lasting processes responsible for sustaining attention across the timeframe of a di cult task...” 14 | Health Hotline ®

Another study explored the combined e ects of 250 mg of L-theanine plus 150 mg of ca eine with similar findings. Visual information processing and mental fatigue ratings improved; faster reaction times, numeric working memory reaction times, and improvements in word recognition reaction times were all reported in the L-theanine and ca eine group. A separate study examining the ability of participants to maintain focus on monotonous tasks over a two-hour period, showed that those taking a combination of 100 mg of L-theanine plus 50 mg of ca eine had a significant reduction in errors compared to an increase in errors in the placebo group. Even without the addition of ca eine, L-theanine delivers. A 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled study looking at the e ects of 100 mg of L-theanine on cognitive function showed positive results after one dose. After just a single dose of L-theanine, subjects saw an improvement in attention tasks, an increase in the number of correct answers, and a decrease in the number of errors in working memory tasks. The researchers concluded, “Our study indicated that L-theanine may contribute to improving attention, thus enhancing working memory and executive functions.” L-Theanine for High Anxiety L-theanine also supports attention, learning, and reaction times in those with high anxiety. One study on L-theanine in college-aged subjects backs this up. Eighteen subjects were classified as either having high anxiety or minimal/low anxiety and were separated into those respective groups. Both groups were given 200 mg of L-theanine and a placebo over the duration of the study. Fifteen to 60 minutes after taking L-theanine or placebo, they underwent assessments on visual and audio attention and response tests. The results on anxiety markers showed “a significant enhanced activity of alpha [waves], descending heart rate, elevated visual attentional performance, and improved reaction time response among high-anxiety … subjects compared to a placebo.” The study concluded, “Results evidently demonstrated that L-theanine clearly has a pronounced e ect on attention performance and reaction time response in normal healthy subjects prone to have high anxiety.” They noted that no significant di erences were evident among subjects with minimal anxiety. Stress Less, Sleep Better with L-Theanine Another randomized, placebo-controlled study looked at the e ects of taking 200 mg of L-theanine daily for four weeks on stress-related symptoms, sleep, and cognitive function. The 30 participants were healthy adults 48 years and older. The Self-Rating Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores all improved after taking L-theanine. Furthermore, sub scores for sleep latency (amount of time it takes to fall asleep), sleep disturbance, and use of sleep medication all were reduced in the L-theanine group, compared to the placebo group. The same study found that when it came to cognitive function, verbal fluency, and executive function, scores improved after L-theanine administration, especially letter fluency when compared to those taking a placebo. They summarized, “Our findings suggest that L-theanine has the potential to promote mental health in the general population with stress-related ailments and cognitive impairments.”

Combat Depression with L-theanine

When there’s a chemical imbalance in the brain, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Maintaining your mental health means taking a multifaceted approach—implementing things like talk therapy, regular self-care, nutrition, exercise, vitamins, and supplements daily. L-theanine is one of those supplements that shows promise in helping combat depression at the source. In one study, L-theanine was examined for its e ectiveness in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Findings revealed that after eight weeks of 250 mg/day of L-theanine depression and anxiety scores decreased and sleep scores improved. Cognition, verbal memory, and executive function were also enhanced, and error rate decreased. They concluded, “…L-theanine administration is safe and has multiple beneficial e ects on depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and cognitive impairments in patients with MDD.” Another study investigating the e ects of L-theanine on an animal model of depression showed that rats with chronic mild stress and depression symptoms experienced a significant increase in neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine after administration of L-theanine. The researchers summarized that L-theanine possibly had antidepressant-like e ects.

Don’t let a scattered, stressed-out, sleep-deprived day get in the way of your true potential. Reach for L-theanine for the cool calm!
