My father was admitted to the hospital earlier this month with congestive heart failure and other health problems. He is also a diabetic and has now overhauled his diet to accommodate a new, healthy lifestyle. I have been so inspired by my father’s courage and effort to live healthier that I have made an effort to supplement my diet with green smoothies which led me to your site! Last week, I made a smoothie everyday for breakfast and lunch and it has made a huge difference! My favorite smoothie is the Cilantro Limeade – so yum! The ginger and lime give it the perfect kick to start my day.
The biggest difference I have noticed from drinking smoothies is the amount of extra energy I have without caffeine! I also notice the extra mental clarity I have gained from cutting out unhealthy food during the day. Your site is such a great resource for anyone wanting to live a healthier lifestyle by drinking smoothies! I really hope I win the blender and book so that I can continue to adopt this lifestyle and share the amazing tips with my friends and family. Thanks for sharing your journey to the online community:)

Hi Manuel,
If you are new to eating a lot of fruits and veggies, your grocery bill may be a little shocking with the extra fresh and frozen produce purchases. Overtime, you will eliminate a lot of processed food items which will in turn bring your grocery bill back to normal. But here are a few quick tips to saving money on produce.
-Make a shopping list: Making a weekly meal planning list that covers what you will eat on a daily basis will help you only buy what you need. Make sure to include snacks in your meal plan and shopping list, too.
-Buy seasonal fruit and veggies: Purchasing produce is in season and is typically cheaper. And if you see a good deal on fresh fruits and veggies, purchase in bulk and freeze for future smoothies.
-Buy out of season fruits frozen: Costco and Sam’s Club sell large bags of organic frozen fruit at good prices. If your freezer can accommodate bags in bulk, take advantage of making these purchases.
-Buy from local fruit stands, farmer’s markets and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture): For the tastiest and most fresh organic produce, buy locally. Not only has the produce been grown and harvested close to home, but buying locally also helps our environment by eliminating the time and resources needed to deliver. Visit, http://www.LocalHarvest.org to find your local farm, farmers markets, and other local food sources.
-Follow the EWG’s Dirty Dozen: This list will help you know what is worth getting organic and what you can buy conventional.
Hope this helps! 🙂
