SO WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH SMOOTHIES? WHY ARE THEY GOOD FOR YOU?

Smoothies are:

 Chock full of vitamins, enzymes and minerals

 Easy to digest, which mean optimal assimilation of your nutrients

 Great for stabilizing blood sugar (you will see each smoothie here includes a small amount of healthy fat for blood sugar stabilization AND please add some protein powder for improved hunger control and fat burn)

 A fabulous way to consume a variety of different fruits or vegetables at one time

 Terrific for cleansing the body of toxicity

 An easy way to add more fibre to your diet for optimal bowel function

WHY IS BLENDING YOUR SMOOTHIE BENEFICIAL?

 The health of your body depends on your digestion. When you blend your foods, you are supporting the digestion process. Your body does not have to work so hard to break down the nutrients as they are in a pre-digestible state.

 Did you know that nearly 80% of your energy is spent digesting and assimilating your nutrients? So why not support your body to do less work and use the energy for feeling better?

CHOOSING A BLENDER:

 Vitamix is a super-powerful blender with a very strong motor that not only can blend smoothies, but also can make nut butters and even soups; however, it is an investment at around $499.

 Blentec is another option similar to Vitamix and costs a little less.

 Nutribullet is a great alternative as it costs about $100. It’s my favourite for making single smoothies.

ANY BLENDER IS AMAZING. JUST GET ONE.

AND THEN START DRINKING SMOOTHIES TO SUPPORT YOUR

BODY FOR ULTIMATE HEALTH

When you support and nourish yourself the right way, you will be repaid with endless energy, a slim and healthy shape and an ageless body.

MAKING THE ULTIMATE SMOOTHIE THE BASICS

1. Choose the liquid – water, coconut water or a unsweetened dairy- free milk

2. Choose your greens – kale, spinach, parsley, Swiss chard, collards or lettuce. You can add a couple of frozen cauliflower florets for an extra ‘creamy’ texture. You won’t taste it! I promise. Or cooked butternut squash.

3. Choose your fruit – banana, apple, berries, pear etc. About ½ a cup.

4. Choose your good fat – hemp seeds, nut butters, ¼ avocado. For fibre: flax or chia seeds,

5. The most important bit: pea or rice protein powder. Use a high quality pure powder. Not a cocktail of processed additives. It helps prevent cravings and hunger. Plus improves the quality of your skin, hair and nails.

6. Superfoods – maca, raw cacao, shredded coconut, goji berries and more

TODAY IS THE DAY TO START MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES

During my various studies I learned the importance of smoothies and now I drink one every day. As you can imagine during the time I’ve worked in this field I was able to study nearly 100 different dietary theories. I read recommendations by respected teachers and leaders such as Andrew Weil, Dr. M. Greger, Mark Hyman, Dr. Roth, Dr. Barry Sears and Deepak Chopra.

And smoothies are a sure way to follow their recommendations of including raw food into your daily regime.

Please add a full serving of pure vegan protein powder to each smoothie for fat burning and hunger control. It should give you 20g protein and less than 5g carbs.
