"What do I mean by green smoothie? Here is one of my favorite recipes: 4 ripe pears, 1 bunch of parsley, and 4 cups of water. Blended well. Green smoothies are very nutritious. I believe the ratio in them is optimal for human consumption: at about 60%... ripe organic fruit mixed with about 40%... organic green vegetables."

Hi all,

Today is going to be busy and I want to get this post published today... I'm still on a learning curve regarding using this site but am enjoying the opportunity to express myself.,

My original green smoothie inspiration came from Victoria Boutenko who has an awesome website and has written several books with the most well know book being , Green for Life. I am an affiliate of her site and will try to get the link up today but don't know if I will figure it out (if I do, I will come back and update this post).,

I have heard all my life, as you may have, "eat your vegetables"... however, I hadn't realized that greens, especially green leafy vegetables (the darker green, the better), contained so much nutrition... I have discovered in my research that I need to eat more "greens"... hence the lovely green smoothies... because I simply don't have the time or the stomach to chew the optimum of greens daily... such as a bunch of parsley... and some of them taste a lot better with banana and celery... my faves!,

On this last day of 2009, I am so grateful for... my spiritual path... my family... my numerous friends... improving health... and, this year, TA DA!, the raw vegan community who are soooo awesome... full of life, fun, and good health... loving, sharing, and on and on... they add so much joy to my life and I will be sharing much information about them with you.,

Got to go... take care.,
