When my mother was undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer, the only thing she could drink was smoothies.  That was well over 10 years ago, and back then, I didn’t have any good recipes with balanced nutrients.  We just put what ever we thought she would like into the blender and hoped for the best. 

After that, I didn’t give a thought to smoothies again.  I knew that bodybuilders and other athletes drank smoothies after their workouts.  But I always thought these were just protein shakes with raw eggs and, possibly spinach, added.  Yuk!  

But since those days of my early introduction to smoothies, I have learned about nutrition.  I learned how very important getting enough protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are.  Fiber and resistant starches too, as they are good for gut health. 

So, as time went on, I built up  a repertoire of smoothie recipes that had more nutritional value with a balance of macronutrients. And when I developed breast cancer and had to have surgery and  chemotherapy too, I drank smoothies to help get enough protein in for healing. 

Most mornings now, I make grab & go smoothies for my family.  I put them in medium sized canning jars with lids.  They can then just shake and drink at school or at work.  And I know that they are getting a powerful boost in nutrients.  And they love them.  

So, I put all my smoothie-know-how & learnings into this eBook. I offer it to you so that you can get all the phytonutrient power of these delicious superfood smoothies too. I hope you enjoy them too.
