Kale Avocado Salad and Simply Sauteed Leafy Green Vegetables

August 25, 2010 by Jeanette 2 Comments

Kale Avocado Tomato Salad ~ https://jeanetteshealthyliving.com

Your mom probably told you that leafy green vegetables were good for you, but you still might not eat them that often. Studies have already shown that diets high in fruits and vegetables reduce both cancer and heart disease.  However, a recent study reveals that eating just 1.5 extra servings of leafy green vegetables a…

“The Best Diet Ever” Anti-Cancer Foods

August 23, 2010 by Jeanette Leave a Comment

It is so refreshing whenever I hear of a medical doctor who believes in anti-cancer foods (foods that can help prevent and/or stop cancer growth).  Just a couple of months ago during a breast exam, my own doctor (at Yale Breast Center) completely rejected any connection between a healthy diet and preventing breast cancer.  Five…

Beginner Green Smoothie Shots

Mango Pineapple Coconut Water Smoothie Recipe

August 16, 2010 by Jeanette Leave a Comment

Mango Smoothie or Lassi

Coconut water is all the rage recently. Not to be confused with coconut milk or cream of coconut (which comes from the “meat” of a mature coconut), coconut water is simply the clear liquid in young coconut when it is cracked open. My current favorite is Vita Coco’s Coconut Water with Peach and Mango, which…

My kids love smoothies.  They’re a great way to pack in lots of nutrients in an easy to digest form.  Smoothies are so versatile.  Basically, all you need are your favorite fruits (berries, mangoes, peaches, use your imagination!), yogurt (if you want extra protein), and a liquid (coconut water, orange juice, almond milk).  If you…
