Introduction
By now I hope that you have read at least one of my books in my superfood series and know a bit more about me but, in case you havent, let me go through things for you.
Today, I am healthy, vital, and full of energy and no longer look my age I look a lot younger. I am at the pinnacle of health and no longer even have a scale in my house.
This was not always the case. In fact, if you had seen me as I am today and me as I was 10 years ago, you would be forgiven for thinking we were two different people.
You see, the me back then was, quite frankly, completely lost. I was fat, kept gaining weight and was sick and tired all time. I had given up on trying to lose weight and resigned myself to the misery that my life had become.
I had given up on ever being thin and healthy again and, quite frankly, nothing in my life at the time was such an issue that I felt forced to make a real change. I wasnt happy about the way that I looked and I knew it was not healthy for me, but I couldnt motivate myself to care.
Basically, it wasnt until I hit rock bottom that I started to make lasting changes in my life. It all started with a pain in my arm and no, this is not a story about a heart attack the pain initially wasnt so bad, more of a nuisance really. Then it moved up into my shoulder and all the way down the left side of my body.
And then it got worse. In fact, I was in such agony that the doctor ordered x-rays, thinking that I had injured my vertebrae. All that the x-rays picked up, fortunately, was that my muscles were in spasm.
I was give pain relievers and the pain subsided and so life went back to normal again.
Okay, now you are wondering where the life changing part of this came in for the next few years, I played cat and mouse with the pain Id have an attack, get medication and then be alright for a while again.
Then the medication stopped working and the attacks began to get more frequent and severe. I went back to the doctor and was told it was a pinched nerve, and that I would have to take medication for the rest of my life. A second and third doctor disagreed about the cause of the pain but also prescribed a life-time course of medication.
It was there that I decided enough was enough. I was not going to destroy my body even more by taking strong painkillers every day and so I decided to do my own research.
I learned about superfoods and about changing your life slowly, one step at a time and the results were astonishing. I adopted one healthy new food a week and did a little exercise and started to feel better, without medication.
And now, I feel great and I want you to feel great as well. Start by swapping out your breakfast for a smoothie every day and I guarantee that you will see great results, just as I did.
Want it made easy for you? In this book we cover both the basics that are needed when making a smoothie so that you can design your own and 101 different, super-healthy smoothie recipes for those days when you need a little inspiration.
Good luck!
Chapter 1:
Why incorporate smoothies in your diet at all? Lets go through it quickly.
How long does a traditional breakfast of pancakes, eggs and sausage take to cook? Probably a lot longer than anyone in todays modern culture really has to be able to do it on a daily basis. You have to make the pancake batter, heat the skillet, fry the eggs, fry the sausages - lets say it takes a half an hour at least.
How long for a delicious tasting, meal replacement, protein and nutrient packed smoothie? Throw the washed veggies and fruit into your blender, along with protein powder, honey, yogurt, soy milk and whatever you feel like putting in there and you have breakfast in under five minutes.
Plus, you have made the very healthy decision to skip the greasy, fat-filled, high cholesterol conventional breakfast that will keep you operating as if youre in a fog for the next few hours.
Smoothies are quick, tasty and just as filling as real meals, without making you uncomfortably full.
If you have ever been ill for any length of time, you know how hard it becomes to sling down a full meal at mealtimes. Even when you have just gotten ill, the last thing that you usually feel like doing is to eat.
Smoothies can help you to heal your body by providing the nutrients that you need in a format that is easy to use, swallow and digest.
You can boost the healing power of the smoothie based on the condition you are suffering from got colds or flu? Add in some ginger, honey and a little garlic and skip the dairy milk.
Just feeling wiped because of a particularly rough day at work? Restore your energy with some spirulina or wheatgrass in your smoothie.
Have an upset stomach? Peppermint or fennel in your smoothie can help restore the balance.
We all are grateful when we get an extra spurt of energy. Coffee and other caffeinated drinks, along with sugary snacks give us these bursts, but they just dont last very long and the come down is difficult and always at the wrong time.
Smoothies, on the other hand, can give us a steady flow of natural energy that lasts for hours. Fruit and vegetables do that because of the amount of fiber that they contain. And when the fruits and veggies are broken down to their most absorbable size, as in a smoothie, then youre getting all the energy and nutrients that were meant for you. Smoothies provide healthful and reliable energy for athletes, students, homemakers, business people and everyone who simply needs more stamina.
I am willing to bet that you are not getting enough fiber in your diet and that is a pretty safe bet considering the fiber stats for the average American. Your average American will take in about 15g of fiber daily, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Sounds good, doesnt it? Until you consider that the optimum fiber intake per adult is between 25g and 38g a day.
By incorporating more smoothies into your diet, you naturally increase the amount of fiber that you consume. Fiber can help to keep your digestion working properly, help you lose weight, reduce the risk of heart disease and colon cancer, and also lower the risk of developing diabetes and/ or a stroke. Making smoothies on a daily basis will increase the intake of fiber to your diet and will help you to flush toxins from your body as well as give you a feeling of fullness, which means that you will naturally want to eat less and lose weight.
Antioxidants are basically stable chemicals in the body that bind themselves to unstable chemicals known as free radicals. If left unchecked, the free radicals can wreak havoc in our body and cause a range of problems from simple inflammation to lifestyle diseases such as diabetes through to even more sinister diseases such as cancer.
The smoothie recipes in this book contain a lot in the way of fruits and vegetables, which are high in antioxidants and can help in the fight against free radicals. There are plenty of them and just a few of them are: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, apples, kale, carrots and beets.
