EVERYTHING
GREEN SMOOTHIES
BOOK Dear Reader, Every day, we seem to have a million things to do; between our hectic jobs, family schedules, household chores, errands, shopping, and the unexpected to-dos that pop up throughout the day, our nutrition seems to be one area that doesnt get the attention it deserves. In writing this book, my goal was to make the need for green smoothies obvious while showing how simple it can be to implement them into your daily life. As a personal trainer and mother of two small children, I have seen the amazing improvements in every aspect of my life, and theirs, from indulging in just one green smoothie a day. Thats right: Not only can you create delicious smoothies that you will wholeheartedly enjoy, but kids love them, too. No matter what it is youre looking for, you can probably find it at the bottom of a green smoothie glass. Want more energy and stamina, better focus, more efficient fat loss, healthier digestion, less illness, beautiful skin and hair, or to look and feel younger? All of these things can be achieved and improved with green smoothies.

Introduction WITH ALL OF THE research that shows how important it is to consume vegetables and fruit, how is it that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is so lacking in these two food groups? To some, daily meals consist of unhealthy takeout, fast food, fried foods, or just plain unbalanced nutrition. All of the reasons for eating these simple, fast, or inexpensive foods that dont provide the nourishment your body needs are well founded: Theres not enough time to prepare healthy meals, not enough money to purchase them consistently, or too many schedule conflicts to eat proper meals when your body needs them. As a result of consuming these less-than-nutritious foods, the average person is left wanting more energy and stamina, struggles with weight loss, and desires clearer skin, better digestion, less illness, and the vibrant feeling of overall health. How can you improve your diet? How can you improve your quality of life? The answer to all of these issues can be found right here in this book. Green smoothies take just minutes to prepare, serve, and consume.
