Here is an overview of my 30 day Green Smoothie Experiment….

Day 1 (June 1, 2009)
This month I am choosing to drink a green smoothie each day (a drink with blended greens, fruit and superfoods of my choice). I have consumed plenty of green smoothies, but never for 30 days straight. I look forward to seeing how this experiment effects my health and well-being. My inspiration… Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko. Green Smoothies have amazing health benefits! They are high in minerals, chlorophyll, and protein in a bio-available and easy to digest form.

When I make food for myself I have a difficult time following a recipe because my creative right brain side comes out. So this is my basic and best green smoothie recipe… 1-2 bunches greens, weeds, herbs, 2-4 cups fruit, 1/2-1 cup superfoods or fiber rich foods (chia, maca, aloe, bee pollen, goji berries, etc). For a Savory Green Smoothie I replace the sweet fruit with non-sweet fruit (avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, etc.) and add flavorings and spices in addition to or instead of superfoods.

The best blender for green smoothies (and any blended drink) is a Vitamix. It has the ability to break down rough fiborous greens into the tinest most digestable particles. I have had my vitamix for over 3 years and LOVE it! I finally bought one after going through 3 blenders in one year:) Click here to check it out!

Day 4 (June 4, 2009)
First thing I desired this morning was a green smoothie. This is a good sign for me, meaning my body is liking the extra greens I am receiving through this experiment.

• Supports proper digestive function and comfort
• Good for joints, brain, nervous system and skin

• Reduces inflammation and supports our immune system
• Helps normalize blood sugar levels

Green Smoothie:
Cilantro
Cherries
Chia
Revitaphi
Fruits of the Earth by Health Force

We enjoyed an amazing meal at Bliss Raw Cafe tonight. I bought some magnetic hematite Jewelry from a person I met at Bliss. This is so synchronistic because earlier today I had a desire to purchase some hematite I could wear. It is a very grounding stone and I can feel a difference in my energy when I wear it. I love synchronicities! To me they are a sign I am on my right path.

Day 13 (June 13, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Red Lettuce
Chia
Blueberry

I had more emotions come up today. Life is a dance between loving what we have and reaching for what we desire. I believe this is one of the reasons I was so emotional today because I felt the tension between where I desire to be and where I am right now. I know one of the best remedies for this is gratitude. So here is a list of what I am grateful for:

• I am grateful my friends Courtney and Isaac are in town and we are having a party tomorrow!!
• I am grateful I actually have a fresh spring to harvest water from. This had been my desire for a long time!
• I am grateful for yoga and meditation and raw foods and how they assist me in feeling bliss
• I am grateful for nature and all she teaches me
• I am grateful for my family
• I am grateful for all the traveling I have done (at least once every 3 months I am on vacation:)
• I am grateful for Bliss Raw Cafe… another desire I had which was miraculously manifested
• I am grateful for my imagination
• I am grateful for my abundance
• I am grateful for music and how it can touch my soul like nothing else can
• I am grateful for my essential oil collection
• I am grateful for my new hematite bracelet and ring

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues, but the parent of all of the others” ~Cicero

Day 14 (June 14, 2009)
So I actually didn’t drink a green smoothie today. Oops:( I went to church and then went to a raw food party/baby shower for my friend Courtney. She is creating a beautiful RAW baby:) She revealed to me tonight that she has decided to move back to Dallas! I am super excited!! I have missed her so much (she moved to Asheville, NC for a few months).

Day 15 (June 15, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Radish Tops
Parsley
Blackberry
Banana

I received my check from Elements for Life today! I love getting paid for selling superfoods! Today I watched “What the Bleep do we know. I find it so interesting that our cells can actually have more receptor sites for certain emotional states than for vitamins and minerals. We can actually be addicted to our emotions . . .

Day 16 (June 16, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Kale
apple
Orange juice
goji berries

I have had several comments lately, from people who haven’t seen me in a month or two of how great I look! It could be the green smoothies, fresh spring water, my recent trip to Hawaii where I consumed fresh noni, or the MMS… or all four!! Today I got my hair cut. It’s amazing how something so simple can make me feel so sexy and confident!

Day 17 (June 17, 2009)
Ok, I didn’t have a green smoothie today. I recommit:) Tonight I attended Conscious Prosperity with Bob Stevens. I love Bob and the truth I have learned from him. I have been playing with him for about a year now. My favorite thoughts from tonight are:

• To thrive you are going to have to be a little weird:) Enthusiasm wins and enthusiasm creates!
• Our emotional body is like a 3 year old 300 pound gorilla… meaning our emotions are powerful and require to be treated with love:)
• “Until man can experience on the mental level that which exists on the physical level, he will be bound to the physical.” ~Dr. John Ray. In other words until we can fully experience what is happening right now consciously, we will continue to experience it.

Amy, Bob, and Me

For some reason a few of my friends chose to bring Aloe Vera
to our Conscious Prosperity class

Rami and Bob… Consciousness Explorers Unite!!

One of my Favorite Couples… Jessica and Brian

Day 18 (June 18, 2009)
Green Smoothie/Soup:
Parsley
Edamame
Raw Fiesta Mole

I took 15 drops of MMS today and felt slightly queasy. Now I am starting to do some deep cleansing:) I went to Bliss Raw Cafe tonight and brought my own spring water. When you start to do that you know you are a purest! We got into an interesting discussion with the staff about the possibility of immortality and how all our attempts at longevity really don’t matter if we don’t have a spiritual purpose and commitment to our growth. Great conversation!

Day 19 (June 19, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Orange Juice
Mixed Berries
Dandelion

Day 20 (June 20, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Cilantro
Mint

I notice after eating lara bars I start to feel a little sad. I think they bring me downscale a little so I am going to stop eating them. I am noticing since I started my green smoothie experiment a heightened sensitivity. I am awakening to things in my life I desire to upgrade.

Day 21 (June 21, 2009)
OK. I recommit again to my daily green smoothies:) The Summer Solstice was last night at 12:45. We went to our spring and gathered fresh water and did some late night star gazing. It is amazing how many millions of stars you can see when you get away from the city! One word: GORGEOUS! Then on our way back we saw a huge shooting star! Today Bryan and I planted several herbs… oregano, basil, thyme, mint, rosemary… Anastasia Style (from the ringing cedar series. I have just started to read these amazing books!)

Day 22 (June 22, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Cilantro
Blueberries
Cacao
Chia
Hemp Seed
Bee Pollen
Cinnamon

I am getting a lot accomplished today! I love feeling accomplished! I think I might of had a little too much chocolate because I feel very stimulated:) It was super yummy though:)

Day 23 (June 23, 2009)

Endive

Cherries
Blueberries
Hemp Seeds

I notice I am craving sweet things less and less, especially after I drink my green smoothie. David Wolfe is having his LIVE ALL DAY USTREAM today promoting his long awaited LONGEVITY NOW program!! I bought it and have watched most of his ustream! It’s so awesome!

Day 25 (June 25, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Parsley
Cherries
Black Berries
Hemp Seeds
Coconut Oil
Pinch of Salt

Bryan got picked to be on a Jury. Today was his first day and he swore not to tell me (or anybody) anything about the trial. Luckily my man is honest because I have been subtly probing him all night… not a word:) Any other man would surely fall prey to my charms;) I am glad because honesty is important to me and I don’t really desire to know anyway.

Day 26 (June 26, 2009)
I didn’t have a green smoothie today because my body didn’t desire one. I am commited to listen to my body’s wisdom as often as possible.

Tonight I went to a Matrix Energetics meetup with my wonderful and talented friends Melissa and Dan. They had a guest named Quinn who played a Digeridoo. It has a very deep primal sound and assisted me in reaching a deep meditative state. I have experienced sound can be a gateway to consciousness and healing.

Quinn and his Digeridoo

Look how long it is!

Day 27 (June 27, 2009)
Green Smoothie/Soup:
Parsley
Corn
Raw Fiesta Mole mix
Herbal Tea
Nutritional Flakes
Sun Fire Salt
Turmeric

Tonight I had dinner and movie night with Bryan, Amy (my sister) and one of her friends. We watched “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and part of “What the Bleep do we know”. Amy’s friend was so surprised at how I was able to cry and giggle and clap at different parts of the movie. She asked me at one point “are you really crying?” I have had many other people comment on how impressed or amazed or even scared they are at my ability to show my true emotions in any situation. And yet, I have often wondered how people can be so stoic and hide or hold back their emotions so easily. Or maybe a lot more people are logical and live in their heads. Either way, it is always a real treat for me to connect with people who are emotionally flowing and heart centered.

Day 29 (June 29, 2009)
Green Smoothie:
Spinach
Chocolate
Ormus grown Noni Powder
Shilajit
Agave
Revitaphi

I have been craving butter for the last few days so I bought some organic grass fed cow butter and treated myself:)

Day 30 (June 30, 2009)
I did it!! 30 days of green smoothies! (well, almost) In my experiment I have noticed I feel more grounded in my body. I feel my breath is deeper and fuller. I have done some deep cleansing in my home and I assume this means cleansing in my body too (As above, so below. As within, so without). I also feel a deeper connection to my inner guidance and a strengthening of my intuition. I highly recommend you check out Green for Life by Victora Boutenko and maybe try your own green smoothie experiment! And if you do, let me know your experience:)

p.s. I also recommend checking out the most amazing blender ever for green smoothies….

Thank you so much for reading my post!
