I thought I had read most everything on eating healthy. Not that I constantly research, but I know what is healthy and, of course, what's not! But a book my daughter Amy gave me has opened up a whole new world! When I thought of greens, I thought of turnip greens. They are good with bacon cooked in them. I have never cooked them but once. They didn't taste like my brother-in-law Leonard's, which are delicious. So to sum up the amount of 'greens' I have eaten in my life would be the sum of maybe 20 servings. And these were cooked! With bacon! I have eaten plenty iceburg lettuce which has no flavor and no nutrients. Amy gave me a book called 'Green for Life' by Victoria Boutenko and it changed my life in 2 hours! Green smoothies! You can live on these drinks! They have all the protein, vitamins, iron, and ETC. you need!
So this morning, after 2 days of green smoothies, I woke up alert and ready to drink another quart of smoothie. They have satisfied me, like the book promises, so I don't crave food all during the day. I have a lot to learn but I can't wait to learn more!
