If you're anything like me, you don't now (or maybe ever!) consume the recommended 10 cups of fruit and vegetables every day. It's not that I don't like fruits and veggies - I do! I just can't seem to integrate enough of them in my every day diet. I was thinking about this today and then I ran across a terrific article in Food Revolution Network https://foodrevolution.org/blog/blenders-vs-juicers/?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blo-2021&utm_content=juicers-and-blenders on comparing the benefits of blending or juicing.

Short story is - I got motivated. I have owned a Vitamix for at least 15 years now and I love it. I make chocolate protein shakes for lunch at least a couple times a week. However, it has so many more uses for which it never gets used. So. I copied the best sounding recipes from this article, and I'm going to go shopping in the produce section, and make a commitment to improving this part of my diet.

The picture above is one I'm definitely going to try. Not sure if I love it because of the ingredients or that it's purple, but whatever the motivation, right? It's going to be good for me.

I want to include more nutrition topics in my blog so here I go! First one down. I hope you take the time to click on the above link and read the entire article and don't skip the yummy recipes at the end.

Cheers!

Karen
