For everyone who has joined us this week – welcome! I’ve heard from many people have been inspired by your posts on Facebook and are ready to join the mix – or the blend – of people making green smoothies in this challenge! It doesn’t matter when you start; what matters is starting, so congratulations! […]
Day 5! The end of our first (short) week! Tomorrow we will begin the first full week; everyone should have received the plan, with recipes and a shopping list in their inbox. If not, please let me know so I can send it your way. Before I share with you my smoothie of the day […]
Last night I sent out the plan for this coming week (at least I did – whether or not my newsletter service has yet is a gamble – we’ve been having issues with it – thanks for bearing with us!). The goal is to begin to try and add some protein to your green smoothies […]

Welcome to Day 2! I am overwhelmed by the number of people who are participating in this challenge — I can’t wait to hear how everyone does. Over the last week or two my kids and husband have all succumbed to some form or another of the cold and flu. Last night, I felt it starting to […]
First, I’d like to welcome everyone to the first day of the next 30 and hopefully beyond! Over the years I have found that making green smoothies has been one of the best things I have done for myself. Why do I like green smoothies?
Increased energy and clarity (I am not a coffee drinker […]
January 1st. A new year and a fresh start. I have always had a love-hate relationship with New Years. The possibilities seem endless but I have been through this same rigamarole one time too many and have become jaded by the optimism (I know, I know — I am a goal oriented person and the […]

In January 2013 I realized I needed to do something to improve my health. I spent 2012 on maternity leave and often neglected taking care of my own health (sleepless nights and caring for a tiny human will do that!). Not to mention the many years before that where health was at the bottom of my list of priorities. Luckily, I discovered Lisa's 30 day green smoothie challenge. The recipes were incredible and a green smoothie drinker was born! But I didn't stop there. Starting each day in such a healthy way led me to consult with a naturopath (it would have been Lisa if we were in the same city), do an elimination diet, and discover that I have sensitivities to wheat and milk. I changed to a whole foods-based diet (most of the time) and took up running. In the span of 8.5 months I went from being tired and sluggish on the couch (literally - I could run for one minute at a time before having to walk) to having enough energy to run the Detroit International Half Marathon. I actually RAN the whole thing! And I lost almost 60lbs along the way! Thank you, Lisa, for being my catalyst. Your challenge kept me interested in a new way of living and saved me! I continue to drink a green smoothie every day for breakfast. What a wonderful way to start each day!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!Imogen Meloche Windsor, Ontario
