Bebe, thank you for the comradery during our joint exercise explorations and the companionship you’ve given me and for exploiting my ineptitude with the ever elusive pull-up.
Scott, I have loved the flights with you; thanks for sharing the stalling lessons and providing me with a means to ensure that my heart is a-okay.
A Note from the Author
On December 27, 2012, I created The Green Aisle to share my passion for cooking and my love of health.
I am a health coach living in California. I enjoy helping others live healthier and happier lives, invigorating their health by educating them on proper nutrition and cooking heart-warming foods that heal the soul and make them feel good about eating. In this book, everything is SkinnyLicious, organic, and wholesome.
Since I have had four cancer surgeries, a severe staph infection, been diagnosed with RV dysplasia and left bundle branch block, suffered from chronic fatigue, overweight, bloated, and distended—all by the age of forty-one—I decided to take a good look at transforming my lifestyle. Nothing is more important than eating clean and healthy, I decided. I am now cancer free, healthy, energetic, full of life, thirty-five pounds lighter, and have enjoyed sharing with you some of the great smoothies and slushies I have created.
Through experimentation and elimination, I was able to create amazing smoothies and slushies that just about anyone can drink, whether you have diabetes, diverticulitis, cancer, or just about any other ailment because these smoothies and slushies are GMO-free, diary-free, sugar-free, soy-free, and gluten-free.
You can now enjoy your all-time favorite treats like strawberry shortcake, zucchini nut bread, strawberry cheese cake, peppermint patties, and much more in a drink that gives your body essential vitamins, nutrients, and enzymes to achieve energy, vitality, and longevity without the guilt, bloating, discomfort or high calorie, sugar-laden foods that give no sustainable nutrients.
I have a passion for sharing empowering information in hopes of inspiring others to continue a healthy lifestyle and attain energy, peace, and balance with organic, raw, all-natural foods.
Have a great day, everyone. I will be in the kitchen, finding new heart-warming foods to share with you! Join www.facebook.com/thegreenaisle.com and check out www.browsethegreenaisle.com for tips to optimal health, detox, weight-loss, and healing recipes.
Introduction
The Essence of Health Begins with the Art of Food
This book is divided into two parts: the informational part is to help you, the reader, make informed decisions regarding your health and well-being. Hopefully, I’ve taken some of the confusion and guesswork out of this strange new world of healthy living and eating.
Here, I’ve examined protein powders, milk alternatives, nut butters, and even some healthy substitutions. This is all for your information, and you are free to use any or all of it on the journey to a healthy new you. The second part is the fun and yummy part: smoothies and slushies!
Want to increase your energy levels, enhance metabolism, improve mental clarity, improve digestive function, flush out toxins, and shed a few extra pounds in the process? If so, this book is for you.
Throughout these pages, you’ll find eighty-two enticing all natural, dairy-free, soy-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free healthy recipes to keep your palate piqued and intrigued. You will also be introduced to some ancient natural superfoods—ingredients that will provide you with vibrant energy and will empower your body, allowing you to feel great and maintain
