Maybe I'm trying to rush things. I been alternating spinach,kale,collards using about 50-60% greens and then fresh & frozen fruit. Not sure if my ratio is off but I'm not able to lose weight. Should I cut down on the fruit? I also started adding and rotating hemp protein,kelp, maca, ground chia seeds. My Dh complains as I force him to take them to work maybe I need to use more fruit in his. Still learning. I will be buying some vitamineral green soon from you! Thanks for all the info.

Away I dunno.....maybe not adding in the word "smoothie" in the title would make more people grab the book and thumb through it and create more excitement to buy it. Maybe the word smoothie would make people think it's a liquid type diet. Altho, I do like The Green Smoothie Rx too :) Does the word "smoothie" appeal to the male population? I can think of the guys I know who term the word "smoothie" as a frilly, girly drink. Sorry for the rambling :) Here are some titles that would “grab” me:

The Green Smoothie Breakthrough
Undiet Your Diet with Green Smoothies
The Miracle of Greens
Green Smoothie Miracle
Green Smoothies for Optimum Health
Get Green to Achieve Optimum Health
1 (pint) A Day Keeps Diseases/Fat/Sickness/Toxins (…etc….) Away

Then you've isolated just spinach. After two weeks of just that, add collards. Etc.

And it may also come to the attention of those who are used to taking lots and lots of Rx's for all of their ills. So in a way they'd stumble upon this amazing book with life changing info without even realizing it. How awesome would that be. I am so excited to buy this book. Green Smoothies have been amazing for our family. My 20 month old daughter has been consuming them since she was 9 months old. Before that she exclusively nursed, so I'm looking forward to giving you the "mother and child" testimony! I'm so thankful for you and and the work you do.

A pint is a good goal to work towards as they get older. Yes, 1 cup a day is great for little ones! A pint is a good goal to work towards as they get older.

When I had my youngest child in November my hemoglobin test they take before they release you, came back the highest they have ever seen for a woman who just gave birth! I attribute it to my green smoothies and though my son still wakes up every three hours I am able to keep up with my 3 children without naps. Robyn - do you want the children to be drinking at least a pint a day? I am doing good to get them to drink 1 cup a day (they are 2.5 and 5)!
