If you HATE veggies.....

 Then "Smoothies" are for you! There is a reason these things are so popular now-easy nutrition the lazy way (and what American isn't about that? ;) But not just ANY blender or juicer will do. I probably shouldn't hawk something without being paid a promotional fee, however I will just because I think everyone should get one. It's called the "Nutri-Bullet." While I don't usually find infomercial claims to be credible, this is one product where you get your money's worth, imo. For 100.00, you can make significant inroads to your health, especially if you simply hate eating vegetables and not big on fruit.

 There are 1000's of recipes out there but the reason I recommend the bullet: Easy as hell, cleaning is easy as hell, and it really extracts the most nutrients, enzymes and vitamins/minerals a veggie or fruit has to offer. When you add a "boost"-wheat germ, nuts, seeds, maca powder-its like improving your health and well being without even trying. You are just a drink away from totally improving your health and off-setting any damage you've done to it by not eating so healthy or other extra-curricular activities.

 Nope, you really don't taste the veggies., You start with a green "base"...pictured here is spinach, salad spring greens, kale. You can use whatever you want. Then you add whatever fruits you want. Pineapple, apple, orange, pear, grapes-whatever sounds good to you. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries make the familiar fruit smoothie and really mask the taste of the veggies for those who hate them. Carrots add sweetness, as well. For a creamier smoothie-add a banana or an avocado.

This is a detox-blend of spinach, apples, pear, pineapple and wheat germ. Add some water, put it on the base of the blender, whirl for 30 seconds to a minute and walla!-you saved yourself a ton of money by making your own "jamba juice." I highly recommend checking out the website or YouTube for the informercial for the "Nutribullet." The best way to get vitamins and minerals is via our foods, and what better way than a simple drink that tastes like it's not healthy? You can get very creative with the blends so its never boring-its a great breakfast drink to get you going in the morning. So for all the veggie haters out there-do yourself a favor and at least TRY it....and you can make them as thick or as thin as you want, adding ice, etc.......possiblities are endless, and especially great after work-outs to replace lost electrolytes. I can't wait to try a watermelon, celery cucumber smoothie on a really hot day-with some added mint! (herbs thrown in are also a great health boost) Raise your glass and Salute!!!

*if you hate veggies,then what the hell are you doing on this blog lol.....seriously though, you are SOL, because even juicing is not recommended as the way to get your healthy veg intake....they are much healthier in their solid natural state to eat. Sorry. 

ADD: chia seeds, flax, maca powder, tumeric, etc......
