Some friends recently watched the movie Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, and decided to start juicing. I have always eaten healthy, and constantly preach about everything in moderation. I do love the ABC (with spinach added) from Robeks, but don’t know that I could do a juice fast. People who know me will tell you, I NEED food, and lots of it! I realize that I have a fast metabolism, and I am fortunate for that, but I always do my best to make sure that I am making healthy food choices. This is especially important to me since my son has a congenital heart defect (feel free to ask me anything about it) and has already had five open heart surgeries! I need to build a good foundation for him to understand healthy living, which is why I always promote healthy eating and discuss food choices with him.

Our Life With Kids 
That was a great movie! We watched it too and since watching it, we did not start juicing, but we do start our days with a breakfast smoothie. My Luke is the master smoothie maker in our house and often has a helper, or two, who like to help toss ingredients into the blender. Our smoothies consist of frozen blueberries, banana, oatmeal, almond milk, soy milk, spinach, flax seed, chia seed, and ice. The kids love it and it keeps me full for a good three hours in the morning.
Another great movie to watch is Forks Over Knives. We also liked Food Inc, as well. They are good reminders of how important it is to eat naturally, and how eating naturally contributes to our personal well being.
