Berry Pineapple Smoothie

I tested this smoothie out at a boutique yesterday and it was a fan favorite. I even got a picky vegetarian eater to fall in love with it and we even got some protein added to it for her. I hope you love it too!! Enjoy!!

What is the cost of fresh?

What is the real cost of fresh when it comes to fruits and veggies? The chart at the right shows the costs of a variety of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately I don't live in a place where I can get access to many of these fruits and veggies when they are in season even if my grocery budget would allow. I don't know about the rest of you but I toss out a lot of produce...more than I would like to admit!

Blendfresh is a great alternative to spending large amounts of money on produce that is out of season and just waiting to spoil. I now have all of the fruits and veggies listed in the chart
available at my fingertips with no fear of spoilage!!

Orange Creamsicle Smoothie Recipe

This recipe was put together by special request!! Jennie I think it turned out awesome!

Wild Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

Here is my latest smoothie recipe. My kids love it!!

How many red fruits and veggies can you name??

I was racking my brain today to try and think of as many red fruits and vegetables as I could. I came up with 5 or 6 right off and then I was stuck...It really got me thinking. Is my diet that limited? There are many more red fruits and veggies out there. Why can't I think of more. That is when I realized I am probably not alone. How many red fruits and veggies come to your mind? 5, 6, 7? How about green, orange, yellow, purple?

Each piece of fruit and every single vegetable is made up of phytonutrients. Phytonutrients such as lycopene are found in tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit. Beta-carotene is found in yellow and orange foods like pumpkins and carrots. Each plant based food is made up of it's very own set of phytonutrients. In order to get all of the wonderful benefits of the various phytonutrients we need to eat a wide variety of plant based food.

Sometimes it feels like this:

Variety is key. Challenge yourself to try new things and eat the rainbow so you can benefit from as many nutrients as possible.

Pro-Bi-what???

I have heard time and time again about Probiotics but it wasn't until just recently that I really understood what all the fuss was about. For those of you who were like me here is some background. Probiotics are essentially good bacteria the digestive system is home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. They help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digesting food. They are also believed to help the immune system. (webmd)
Many of us do not have enough of these good bacteria in our digestive system due to our poor diet. Our highly processed, cooked diets do not contain the living nutrients that our bodies need. So you are probably thinking "ok I will run out and grab a few pills and be set to go." I thought the same thing! I got my bottle of Probiotics and started taking them and thought I was all set....But it wasn't quite that simple.
Not all Probiotics are created equal. The reason? If Probiotics are living then they must be fed to stay alive...which requires a Prebiotic. What Pre-Pro huh??
That is where Blendfresh comes in. The Pre & Probiotic blend includes 10 billion CFUs of good bacteria. To translate one serving (1/2 teaspoon) has the equivalent amount of beneficial probiotics as 10 cups of high quality yogurt. That is quite a comparison. I can't eat that much yogurt in a day even if it was frozen yogurt :)

Fresh vs FreshDried

I have had several people ask me what the comparison is fresh to dried and below you will find an example of what an apple and 2 cups of spinach look like fresh vs. dried. 

  

Before: 1 Apple and 2 Cups of Spinach

After: 1 Dehydrated Apple and 1 Cups of Dehydrated Spinach

WOW what a difference. This really shows you how much is packed into a little scoop of Blendfresh!!

Push-ups and Squats oh my!

Last week my co-worker challenged me to a push-up and squat challenge. The challenge was to complete 20 push-ups and 20 squats 10 times for 5 days. A total of 200 squats and push-ups per day and 1000 of each by the end of the week. I managed to keep the pace for 3 days and then my arms were killing me. I had to back off the number for a couple of days but I finished my push-ups and squats by the end of the week. To my surprise those 2 exercises ended up being a full body workout. Crazy! Who wants to take the push-up and squat challenge? Are you in?

Pink Pancakes!!

For breakfast today we had pancakes, eggs and hashbrowns. I added a couple of scoops of Blendfresh Reds to the pancake mix. The mix turned pink and so did the pancakes. It was an easy way to add nutrition to an every day meal. I even added a few sprinkles of Purples to the top of my pancakes. My youngest was a little skeptical at first, but she loved it. The whole family enjoyed their pancakes and didn't even realize that they were getting some much needed nutrients!!

What is your excuse?

Most of us do not eat enough fruits and vegetables each day. These are the top 6 excuses for not eating more fruits and veggies. What is your biggest reason? Comment below!

The Lowest Price from Blendtec!!

Blendtec is an amazing company.  They are the makers of the most advanced blenders in the world.  This includes the blenders that power businesses like Starbucks, Roxberry, Jamba Juice, Baskin Robbins and many more. They have a great warranty program and beginning tomorrow they are making refurbished models of the Total Blender available for only $99 through my private website link!  This is the same blender, still with warranty!!

This is very exciting for everyone that has wanted a good blender, but hasn't had the budget to spend $300-500!  $99 is the price you would pay for a much less desirable blender brand like Ninja, but now for that same price you can get the Blendtec quality.  To be clear, THIS IS A FACTORY REFURBISHED BLENDER.  So technically it's not brand new, but it has been repaired, inspected and endorsed by the manufacturer and still will carry it's own warranty when you purchase.

Here's the other good part.  The way they are able to make such an amazing deal available is through their new sister company Blendfresh.  You can find more details about how amazing this is on my site, but all you need to know is that a company with a multi-million dollar reputation saw that their customers needed a way to save on clean, pesticide free and non-GMO produce and keep it from wasting and spoiling.  So they patented a process called "Fresh Drying" where they take only the best fruits and veggies and dry them at low temperatures so they are still raw and keep all their nutrients and enzymes preserved.  Then they powder them and make them available to easily add to smoothies, oatmeal, sauces, drinks, dips, anything you can think of to boost the health value and add to the taste. 

And now, when you subscribe for 12 months to $39.99 a month of Blendfresh products (just one bottle per month) you can get the Total Blender for $99!  Crazy good deal!  I make available lots of recipes and ways to use Blendfresh, and even if you aren't getting a blender I recommend adding Blendfresh to your shopping list for convenience and savings.  If healthy eating is easy, you'll do it!  So why not save money at the same time?  This is saving on your produce bill and getting a great deal on an awesome blender at the same time!  Or some people like to switch the math around and feel they are paying a fair price for a great blender and getting a year of high quality produce for free.  Either way you look at it, YOU WIN!

When you're ready to get your new blender on the way (good choice!) then just click here to be taken to my website to learn more and to order as soon as the link is up.  Look under the Blenders tab.  Or you can send me an email to blendedfresh@gmail.com with your phone number and I am happy to enter your order by hand.  This $99 promo is available only for Club members (just a $10 one time fee that will get you discount on blenders and all Blendfresh products), so you'll see the discounted price once you join the Club and you can add it to your cart.  If this sounds too technical, please send me an email and I will take care of everything for you!

That's everything you need to know.  I can't wait for you to fall in love with all the new cool things you'll be able to do with your Blendtec and before long you will be positively addicted to using the Blendfresh foods.  If you want to know more about the blender options let me know.  I can show you the models I have or even take you down to the Blendtec test kitchen. I look forward to hearing from you!

Power Guacamole

You are what you EAT!!

"You are what you eat" goes the old saying. But in today's world, there is a BIG problem with that. We live in a world where most of our foods are prepared by others. Most diets today include highly processed, refined, high-calorie, low nutrient "foods" that resemble very little of what our ancestors ate.
Experts tell us that plant-based foods should encompass 80 percent of our caloric intake. Unfortunately, most of our diets are completely flip-flopped from this recommendation. Most adults only eat one serving of fruits/vegetables per day. Is it any wonder that the rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other lifestyle conditions continue to increase?

Saving time has compromised our health. Our busy lifestyles make it difficult to find time to cook healthy, nutritious meals. This quest for convenience has allowed large food corporations to cash in and the results are not pretty. Waistlines are expanding, health and longevity are decreasing, we are tired and we do not know what to do about it.

This is where Blendfresh comes in. Using an innovative FreshDried(TM) process, Blendfresh combines the earth's healthiest raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, beans and legumes in a form that is easy to store, prepare and consume. When combined with the world's most advanced blenders made by Blendtec a sister company, Blendfresh makes healthy eating easier and faster than ever.

Blendfresh's proprietary FreshDried process removes water from fruits and vegetables at low temperatures using light instead of high temperatures. As a result, they retain their raw state as well as their complete nutrient value and color. And because each Blendfresh blend contains multiple whole food sources, they deliver more nutrient density than any other form of fruits and vegetables.

You can't beat Blendfresh! Buying and preparing fresh fruits and vegetables can be expensive when you consider how much of it goes to waste because of spoilage it essentially becomes difficult to afford a healthy, plant-based diet. Blendfresh products can be stored for up to 3 years without losing nutrient potency. When it comes to high-quality nutrition combined with convenience and value, Blendfresh simply cannot be beat!

Blended WHAT?!?!?

I am super excited to be starting this blog. Over the last few years I have been on a journey towards better health. Many people have asked me how I have lost over 80 pounds and kept it off for several years. The answer is actually quite simple: "I changed my lifestyle". It wasn't easy but it has been worth it and since changing my lifestyle I have found numerous tools to help me maintain this new healthy life. One of my favorite tools has been my Blendtec. We bought our Blendtec blender a few years ago. It is funny how one purchase can make your life soo much easier. I use my Blendtec every day and now I have the opportunity to help others get their hands on a Blendtec for a great price. Blendtec recently started Blendfresh a revolutionary, breakthrough solution for nutrient-dense, whole-food. Now you are probably thinking what does that mean?!? Let me break it down: Blendfresh is an easy way to get more whole organic fruits and vegetables into your diet and who doesn't want that? Stay tuned for more details!
