“Veg-Out” This Summer

Loving My New Vitamix!

green smoothieSummer is the best season to benefit from FRESH FRUITS and FRESH VEGETABLES!

With the recent gift of my new Vitamix, I can have fruits and veggies from morning ’till night.

What is so good about that, you ask? Fruits and vegetables have been scientifically proven to protect us against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.

Garden Fresh Cocktail, recipe by Vitamix

1.5 medium tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1/2 medium carrot
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 sprig parsley
1/2 small sweet pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce (optional but delicious!)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 cup ice cubes
To this, I also add sprouts.
What could be better?

Beautiful, Colorful Vegetables

Pigments that give vegetables their bright colors represent a variety of protective compounds.

How colorful is your plate?
