Shake, Rattle, And Roll: How Your Smoothie Will Pair Up With French Diet Regimen
How a Young Mom Lost 56 lbs & Got Rid of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Allergies, Asthma, Eczema, Insomnia & IBS By Drinking Green Thickies
If you are struggling with weight loss and chronic health conditions, and you think that a healthier diet might help, but you are not sure how to implement that diet into your lifestyle, here is an inspiring story for you.
“Before green smoothies I had tried so many different types of diets to lose weight ranging from Weight Watchers, to Atkins and I never felt good on any of them. I had the wrong motivations as I was just trying to lose weight. When I became a vegan and started drinking green smoothies, my motivation was to become healthier, and that led to a long lasting change of my diet that is now just a way of life for me. A side benefit has been losing 56 pounds but if that had been my only motivation, I’m not sure I would have had the same success.”

Making Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy & Reflecting on Global Climate Change
What do oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have in common with the Hurricane Sandy and global climate change? Let me explain.
I live in Northern New Jersey, in an area that has been affected by the recent hurricane Sandy.
I’m grateful that my family has not been greatly affected by this disaster, even though our area got a lot of flooding and trees had been broken.
Green Smoothie With Cranberries
I love cranberries in my smoothies!
Most people have cranberries as cranberry sauce, usually a highly sweetened, over-cooked concoction. I used to always prepare it as a side dish to a roasted turkey meat on Thanksgiving dinner. I went vegan earlier this year (it’s been almost 6 months now as I am mostly vegan, sometimes vegetarian – usually during trips), so that combination is no longer acceptable for me, but I still love my cranberries in sauces, dressings and smoothies.
I love making a raw cranberry sauce or cranberry dressing, with oranges and other fruits – I will post a recipe for a delicious cranberry sauce soon.
For now, why not have some raw cranberries in your green smoothie?
Cranberries add a delicious, tart flavor to green smoothie recipes. You can add them to most berry smoothies to boost the tartness and antioxidants. Begin with 1/2 cup, then adding more to taste.
Starting My Juicing Life Style Today
(Guest Post) Most people know the importance of nutrition, but we fail to make a life style change. Yeah, I know it’s hard especially when we live in a society that wants everything right away and fast food joints are everywhere you look. If you are like me you have tried a number of things to eat health and loose weight. I started implementing juicing daily on March 19th, 2013. My goal is to substitute juicing for one meal and do light exercise. I’m documenting all of this on my website like my favorite juice recipe here…
Vegetable Soups: Easy to Prepare, Versatile and Simply Delicious!
Although green smoothies and salads are fantastic, most people cannot live on them alone 🙂
So, today I have a vegetable soup recipe for you.
Vegetable soups are a great healthy standby and are easy to prepare, digest and absorb. They are great comfort food, and are a great dish to warm us up in the middle of cold weather.
I recommend that you make a big pot that will last you a couple of days, or even longer (keep several portions in your freezer for “emergencies”).
The following recipes are just an inspiration. Don’t feel you cannot prepare the soup if you are missing one (or more) ingredients. Just as when making the green smoothies, experiment with your recipes, using what’s available in your kitchen, garden or grocery store.
