Green Smoothie Classes
July 2nd, 2009
What’s a Green Smoothie?
A green smoothie is a combination of fruit and green leafy vegetables blended with water in a high speed blender.
Why eat Green Smoothies?
Green smoothies are considered to be very healthy and the most natural way that humans should eat. You can read all about Victoria Boutneko’s study and discoveries of green smoothies in Green for Life.
How can I make Green Smoothies?
They aren’t hard to make but there are ways to mold the recipe to your own taste preferences and tips to making and storing them that can really help keep you on your diet of a green smoothie a day.
What I’ve found from drinking Green Smoothies
Once I started drinking a green smoothie a day I felt stronger and healthier then I had in a while. I noticed that I always had a nice glow in my cheeks and I even stopped bruising. I crave sweets less, continue to stay thin and healthy, have regular bowel movements and even have one within an hour of getting out of bed, whether I have had anything to eat or drink. It provides most of my nourishment throughout the day and is a great way to make sure I get my daily dose of greens and fruit in a tasty way.

Posted in Germinating Nuts and Seeds Class
July 1st, 2009
Why germinate nuts and seeds?
Never eat cooked nuts or seeds. The best way to eat nuts and seeds is to germinate them before eating them. Why? Nuts and seeds have a component called enzyme inhibitors which keep them from rotting but it also keep our bodies from getting all their nutrients when we eat them. The question is, "What do we germinate, how do we germinate and how do they store after we germinate them?" Germinating Nuts and Seeds Class will answer these questions and empower you to eat your nuts and seeds in the healthiest manner. You’ll get more out of the nuts and seeds and they will be easier to eat and digest.
Germinating friendships
A friend of mine offered a friend of hers one of my germinated almonds but she declined. She said that she didn’t like almonds because they were so hard. My friend assured her friend that these weren’t like that. Well, her friend tried them, loved them and now that’s the only way she will eat her almonds.
Germinate nuts and seeds to:
- Digest them easier
- Get most of the nutrients out of them
- Make them a live food (those that can be made live)
- Make them more palatable
Date: TBA
Time: 10:30 to 12:30
