Fast Family Nutrition From a Pro

How do you balance out our life-draining, energy-stealing, sad, American diet . . . with delicious, fast, easy, super-concentrated nutrition?

I recently discovered a girl who’s been sharing the same information on nutrition that I advocate and strive to live.

She calls herself Green Smoothie Girl (.com), and she’s got many exceptional videos including one on “How to Make a Green Smoothie.” She’s family friendly, and brings everything to a new level of easiness.

Our family has been drinking green smoothies for a long time, but after reading her stuff I’ve been drinking smoothies on a daily basis. I forgot how much energy I have when I’m consistent, and with six kids, I need it!

I thought energy would be the biggest benefit for me, but I’ve had less aches and pains (despite being too busy to exercise for a while), my digestion has been better, and . . . my teeth have gotten whiter, I swear, just in the last two weeks!

She’s worth checking out.
