Super Red Beta-Carrot Juice
It’s been ten days since I purchased my new Breville juicer to join my kitchen appliance team (and replace the old one, which was long-ago ready to leave its post), and we continue our Juice Reboot morning juicing routine (or mini-detox-cleanse) with my husband (who is the main reason I bought the juicer in the first place, as I could not get him to drink enough smoothies, and I think may be more inclined to drink juices).
I have to say it’s been working really well so far, even though it does make the mornings a bit more busy and it takes a bit more time to get everyone out of the house. We’ll continue it for just a couple of days more, until my husband leaves on a trip, and then resume when he comes back in almost three weeks.
So today, we made this rich vibrant beetroot juice with carrots, celery and apple.
The Environmental Impact of Eating Fish
Eating fish may be a considered by many a vast improvement over the Standard American diet (SAD), but most people fail to realize that the consumption of aquatic animals comes with its own set of issues.
Truth is the promise of fish-eating being healthier, more sustainable, better for the environment and more ethical than the consumption of land animals is nothing more than a “fishy” propaganda.
Besides contributing directly to human disease through the toxicity of its products, the seafood industry is killing fish by the billions causing enormous damage to marine ecosystems throughout the world.
We are facing the collapse of all fished species in under 40 years if we don’t make some serious changes. The frightening news that by mid-century there will no longer be fish in the ocean as we know it.
Since the mid-1980s, the international fishing industry’s capacity has increased every year, and yet over the same period, the amount of fish actually caught and killed for food has decreased every year.
Start Your Day Right With Super Food Smoothies
The beginning of the day may feel the most rushed, but is also one of the most important times for your body and your health. As you wake up in the morning and continue to push the snooze button for that final five minutes of added sleep you may be sleeping away the most important meal of the day. Instead, you can start your day off right with super food smoothies as a healthy breakfast.
Interview with Steffi DeRobertis, Plus Her Favorite Mac-N’-Cheese Recipe
I found Steffi’s website while browsing online for vegan recipe sites. She has many amazing recipes on her blog that I are completely new territory for me, inlcluding Mom’s Goulash, Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Gluten Free Cookies, and Mac-and-Cheese (I never make mac and cheese at home, not even in pre-vegan days, but this one includes cashews and walnuts, so I’m going to try it! I’m sure my son will enjoy it.)

Join me in the Food Revolution Summit
I’m inviting you to join me in the Food Revolution.
I participated in this event last year, and I learned soooo much, as well as got incredibly inspired by all the amazing people and the information.
(In fact I was so inspired, that I decided to use a similar slogan for my website: “Heal the body, heal the planet…beginning with food”).
Bestselling author, John Robbins is sharing personal interviews of 23 people who are leaders in movements for healthy, sustainable, humane and delicious food. And you can join in — for free!
(If you don’t know who John Robbins (the host) is, you’ll be so inspired by his story. John Robbins could have inherited the Baskin-Robbins empire. But he walked away from the money and the power. Why? He simply didn’t want to devote his life to selling ice cream after realizing it makes people unhealthy. So he decided to make a change. Over the last 25 years, his books about healthy eating and healthy living (including bestsellers Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution) have sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.)
Here is how it works. Every week, the Food Revolution Network hosts three interviews, and sends out a letter with a wealth of up-to-the-minute tools and resources. These tools can help you and your family to thrive and to make a difference in the world.
The Benefits of Juicing: Top 4 reasons why you may want to give juicing a chance
Although I’m a great believer in green smoothies and I pretty much gave up on juicing the last couple of years, I decided to give juicing another try.
Just a few days ago I purchased a brand new Breville juicer (which, by the way, came with a free DVD “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” movie), brought a few bags of produce from a farmers market, and set of to make some colorful juice.
So I made a few quarts of vegetable juice and we sat down with my husband (who, incidentally, came down with a fever and a nasty virus infection) to watch the Joe Cross documentary of his 60 juicing reboot.
Here is why.
