Kimberly Snyder, Clinical Nutritionist to the *Stars* really knows her stuff. She has some super tasty recipes to try for everything from detox to great skin. She is truly an inspiration.
Once starting your day, every day with fresh, raw, blended superfoods you’ll feel such an increase in energy you won’t want to go back to that bagel or bowl of cereal. At least I don’t. What is most noticeable to me is the tingly energetic feeling I have after my smoothie breakfast (first thing in the day) as opposed to the “food coma”, bloated feeling one might get after a big cooked meal. Our food should make us feel good, not bad.
The first, primary ingredient in making the green smoothie is the right blender. Without a quality blender your smoothie could turn out grainy or chunky, and not quite so easy to get down. Not to mention most importantly, the blending step makes all the wonderful greens and fruits easier for your body to digest and the nutrients are more easily absorbed into your system for maximum benefit and optimum health. You would really be missing out on this crucial benefit for all your efforts of making the smoothie and making a change in your life and health. If you want to get the most from your smoothie invest in a 
proper blender. I use the Vita-Mix and recommend it. At 2+ horse-power it really get’s the job done right. You might also consider the Blendtec a little more expensive, this one is 3 horse-power. You decide, both are industry standard and highly recommended among raw enthusiasts as well. It really is the way to go.
Do you want to feel happy, peaceful, calm and in control no matter what happens? Do you wish that somehow, you know a way to stop all those crazy cravings for sweet, fatty snacks at erratic times of the day?
Would you believe it if I tell you that this is possible, permanently, and can happen in the comfort of your own home? And while you are doing this, you are also building your body with the best life-giving brand new raw materials available!
Greens are leaves which contain chlorophyll, and they are probably the most neglected food group in the entire supermarket. But yet it is these humble green warriors which does magic for our cells.
Why is drinking a green smoothie better than just eating greens? Because the blending actually breaks down the cellular walls of the leaves, leaving you with the finest particles of nutrients which are delivered straight to your cells.
And of course, all these living nutrients are still intact and not destroyed by heating.
1) You feel calm and peaceful
The chlorophyll in greens deliver oxygen to your cells and puts the body in a slightly alkaline state. This is a state in which optimal health is required and which cancer cells do not thrive.
Degenerative diseases like cancer thrives and grow in an acidic state.
2) You feel happy for no reason
A healthy body is a happy body. Research has proven that subjects whom are in optimal health condition still feel in control and calm even in the face of seemingly tough life events; while those who are not, tend to feel unhappy even when they are rewarded with promotions or striking the lottery.
3) You adopt a more positive outlook in life
Things which you used to sweat over now seem smaller. You have grown in capacity to handle things because your body is now constructed with newer, better materials.
And did I mention that your cells are rejoicing with the change?
4) Get rid of Unnecessary Addictions
Your body is made up of billions of tiny cells. Every cell is You, they combine to make up your tissues, organs, bones, face, hair, legs etc.
When nutrition is improved, the body is strengthened on a cellular level.
When your cells know what it is like to receive first class nutrition, they will not want to go back to the old ways!
They will resist old substances like nicotine which does not do the body good.
