Blend Your Way to Bliss: Tasty Superfood Smoothie and Herbal Elixir Recipes That Burn Fat, Boost Energy and Beautify Your Skin (Blend Smarter Book 1) Kindle Edition

Two years ago, my husband and I went on the Paleo diet, and that has been a big shift in our health. Then earlier this year, I got a fermentation crock and starting making my own fermented foods; heaven for your digestive health. We buy almost all organic foods, and we choose meats from sustainable sources, grass-fed, no hormones, etc. At age 61, I know I can continue to make improvements so I can experience high energy and joy for the rest of my time on earth, so I am open to adding to my regimen.We can both see big positive shifts in our overall health and energy levels, but what I really wanted to do as the next step was to have my diet include ALL the nutrients I need for optimal health, so I don't have to use supplements. Not because of cost; I just don't like taking pills, and I feel that we can get our vitamins and minerals in our food if we choose wisely. I was aware of subtle clues that my nutrition needed a boost in spite of our good diet: my hair was not as shiny and lustrous as in the past; my skin was dry in places that indicated a B vitamin deficiency; my nails had irregularities.Several years ago, I read Victoria Boutenko's book "Green For Life". It encourages people to drink green smoothies. Her evidence for the value of smoothies was compelling. So we got a Vita-Mix blender and started making smoothies using her recipes. I can only say, they tasted disgusting. Mostly, they were composed of greens of some type, water, herbs and fruit; very basic ingredients. We would make a smoothie several nights a week. It got to be a painful experience, as neither of us liked the taste at all.We finally admitted we just couldn't drink them. If good health meant we had to drink horrible-tasting smoothies, forget it! So when I saw Adam's book, I had some reservations. I was drawn to it, but didn't know why. I didn't want another unpleasant smoothie experience.I read Adam's book, and I found the information compelling. I loved the idea of using super foods and super herbs in the recipes, as that was exactly the type of thing I was looking for: really boosting nutrition by getting optimal vitamins and minerals. I had a glimmer of hope that this could be my supplement therapy. No more pills!But the big question was, how would these smoothies taste? I went to the New Frontiers store and got a bunch of ingredients and blended the #2 recipe, and my husband and I drank it. Hallelujah! It was tasty, even though it had kale in it. That day, we both experienced higher energy levels than usual, in spite of it being a yard work, house work, shopping day that usually would have us tired at the end. The next day, we had another smoothie. We both love them.I believe the wave of the future is to have a diet that is natural and supplies us with all we need to have great resources of energy, a strong immune system and vibrant health. To me, adding the superfood smoothies to our daily regimen is a big part of the successful health plan we are implementing for our 'golden years'. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is only for 'old farts'; my point is that if it can boost our health and energy, imagine the results if we had started when we were in our 20's.If you are ready to commit to greater energy and good health, let Adam be your guide and show you how smoothies can be a key element for your success.

I bought this after a friend got it and recommended it to me because I was going on a cleanse and wanted to make everything myself. I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars buying some company's juice cleanse, etc. The price, 9 bucks, is such a good investment for all of the yummy recipes and nutritional tips to help you along the way. What's cool about this book is that you learn about super foods and herbs that you've never even heard of before that are so amazing! I ended up googling a bunch of things and thought, whoa - I'm literally making the most nutritious food possible right now. And it's so much less expensive making it yourself than buying days-old, pre-made superfood drinks at the store. What I also love about blended foods is that you get all of fiber and nutrients, etc. without juicing them out. Great for digestion, which is important if you have issues there.So, I've been making a bunch of recipes out of here during my week long cleanse (almost done!) and I LOVE it. I notice that when I drink one of these superfood smoothies/shakes, I'm not really hungry throughout the day (which is great on a cleanse ;) and I have a LOT of energy and strangely, I feel put in a really good mood. I have a feeling I'm going to make a bunch of these drinks for friends and try to impress them by passing them off as my own - haha. Just kidding. But, seriously - it's awesome and I can't wait for more recipes! P.s. If you do get this, try the Nut Butter Maca Magic first - It's sooooo good.There's my 2 cents, Amazon!
