Eatin' from the Garden....juicy goodness!
We have heard it every day from the time we where babies in the highchair....."Eat your Vegetables"! We all have heard the reports that we don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables each day! We all know that fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, are low in fat and just plain old good for us! Did you know that you can also get all of the protein, calcium and other important nutrients you need from green leafy vegetables! What is even more amazing is that green leafy veggies have been proven to make your body more alkaline. Cancer cells thrive in an acidic body environment which is made by consuming too many acid forming foods such as meat, grains, dairy and other highly processed foods.

GREEN SMOOTHIES!Yes its that simple, throw some bananas, some spinach, and some mint for zing and blend add water to you desired consistency, smell and taste test; maybe it needs more fruit or perhaps more greens (as much as tastes good is how we do it). Pour yourself a big ole glass or throw it in a quart jar and put it in your lunchbox and you will be in for a delicious treat that ensures you are getting your daily minimum out of the way!
There are many different recipes and combinations that you can try out! ~*~ Please Check out Victoria Boutenko book Green for Life for a detailed account of a wonderful women's quest to share perfect health with us all!

And the best part...kids LOVE them too! My family drinks Green Smoothies everyday for breakfast and any dregs, leftovers or finicky smoothie days go into the frozen Popsicle cups and viola, a "special treat" for after lunch or dinner! Yes, I know it’s sneaky but whatever works :)....
That is not even the easiest way to lose weight, look great and reduce your chances of getting many avoidable health problems! The easiest way is to simply eat more fruits and veggies. Eat your favorites more often even if the price is: "expensive" it’s still cheaper than hospital bills and MUCH more enjoyable! Don't worry about making big changes to your diet, simply eat a piece of fruit or salad before you eat your meals, or replace one with a green smoothie!
Remember life changes are slow and permanent, enjoy your changes and enjoy your life!
