Green Smoothie Revolution

I was so excited when I opened up my new Green Smoothie Revolution book. I love Victoria she does more research than any other raw food leader I know! She also knows how to write for us busy people and in an afternoon I was able to deliciously consume the whole book!

Green Information
When I first started my raw food diet 10 years ago I had no idea how important greens are. These amazing bits of sunshine greens have gotten a "bitter" rap.

For just about 30 years of my life the only greens that touched my lips came from no nutrition white ice berg lettuce. Can I really insult greens by comparing ice berg lettuce to beautiful bright greens? I think not!

Leafy Organic Greens are an amazing nutritional source currently missing in the SAD (Standard American Diet). They provide more essential nutrients than most any other food for our human bodies. Yet they have been thrown to into a vegetable category without a Golden Award.

Leafy Greens are:

• Protein
• Chlorophyll
• #1 Source of Essential Minerals
• #2 Source of Essential Vitamins
• Low In Sugar
• High in Soluble Fiber
• Low in Fat
• Essential Amino Acids

Greens are like Jesus the quiet kind superstar waiting with open arms to love us and give us life(health) beyond our wildest dreams! Click on for more Green Information.

The Bitter Truth-
Yes it is true greens are bitter in the beginning. So how do you get your green and get past the taste? Add some sweet sweetie!

I think Victoria Bountenko should be given the Noble (Green) Peace Award for coming up the with the miraculous idea of adding greens to a delicious sweet fruit smoothie.

In order to introduce our taste buds to the bitterness of greens we can mask the flavor by slowing adding fresh organic leafy greens into a delicious fruit smoothie. Over time we can start to raise the amount of greens until we are consuming around 3 packed cups to our blended smoothies a day. I have fallen in love with greens so much that one of my favorite snacks is the crunchy ends of kale, collards or chard.

WARNING: You may start to crave and desire a leafy greens just in passing them by! Highly addictive once your body starts to get those amazing green kisses inside it just wants MORE!!!

Time And Money
Of course I have more green inspiration: Time and Money! Imagine for a moment you decide to join the 30 day Green Smoothie Revolution November. You decide to drink around 2 quarts of green smoothie per day or 5 cups of fruit and 3 packed cups of delicious leafy greens per day. How much is this going to cost and how much time will this take me?

Time: Blending 1 minute per day. Shopping 1 hour or less per week to collect greens and fresh sweet and non-sweet fruits. Not including time spent to forge wild greens on a nature hike you may take.

Money: Organic fresh product for 2 quarts of smoothie is $10-$12 dollars per day or less depending on how many greens you obtained on your nature walk. That is around $300.00 in 30 days and 4 hours and 30 minutes a month. How does that compare to your current life style? Are you starting to feel inspired yet?

Fresh Thought:

Green smoothies are an excellent way to begin a living foods life style. Taking 30 days to "try" something out allows our minds to gently acquire new healthy habits. Allow yourself to lovely lean into a life filled with health and body-mind-soulful bliss.

I continue to be amazed at mother nature. She provides the perfect food with perfect nutrition that is both deliciously beautiful and flavorful.

In nature our body, mind and spirits have the opportunity to be nourished from the inside and/or outside all at the same time. Enjoy the fresh air, cool waters, warm sun, and fresh foods mother nature provides. Take a moment for yourself to enjoy and appreciate nature and all the gifts its provides for us!

My life's purpose is to inspires others towards their personal health, joy and love! My gift is to present information in an nurturing fashion through my love, awareness and living foods. If there is ever a question or concern or rather you would like support on your path please feel free to email me.

I am only living my purpose when others are inspired and go on to live their purpose and inspire others. We are all connect and individuals all at the same time so live your passion, your purpose and share it with others we are waiting for what you have to offer!
