    About this ebook

    How do you get all five of your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per day? And now, some experts are saying it’s not five, it’s nine! Who could possibly eat that much roughage? Or, how do you get the nutrients necessary to survive a serious illness when you can’t digest anything (or at least you feel like you can’t)? And, equally important, how do you make those nutrients taste good?

    Enter: the smoothie - the roughage, vitamin, probiotic powerhouse of foods! The one meal with all five of your five per day and you’re good to go.

    The Happy Granny Smoothie Book begins with a basic, user-friendly primer on nutrition and a smoothie How-To manual with tips on smoothie essentials like sweetening without sugar and creating the perfect texture. After the primer are recipes for smoothies and juices along with tips to get you started creating your own special blends.

    Every smoothie in this book has been developed by necessity with the highest-quality, organic foods. And every recipe has been perfected to be not just tolerable, but fun, delicious, and pleasurable to the drinker. Because - and let’s face it - the only way we’re going to keep at something is if it’s yummy. Otherwise, why write a book about smoothies?

      This book was born out of necessity. Well, necessities actually. The first was how to get the nutrients necessary to survive a serious illness when you can’t digest anything. The second was just as important, perhaps more so: how do you make the food taste good?

      When I got sick three years ago, and lost forty pounds in three months, no one could tell me what was wrong with me. When I’d spent thousands of dollars on doctors and laboratory tests and still all they could tell me was, We can’t find any of the culprits we normally check for… I thought I was going to die. I almost wanted to. Almost.

      The problem was in my gut. My digestion was haywire and nothing seemed to be working like it should be, like it always had before. I could only manage to eat one meal a day, usually around lunch time, and then it would just sit there in my stomach, not being digested. Or, at least that’s how it felt. I told one doctor, My food’s not going down.

      He said, Yes, it is.

      I said, No, it’s not.

      Yes, it is.

      No, it’s not!

      Okay. It’s not. Why do you think that is?

      "How should I know? You’re the doctor!"

      So, when the medical community could not help me, I decided to devise a new strategy. I went to the local health-food store, where they have a few rather large volumes on natural healing with foods and I began to read. I read about human digestion, foods with fiber and foods without, preparation methods, recipes, herbs, enzymes, good foods and bad foods, and how they all affect your body, specifically your digestion. Because, as the experts who wrote all of these books seemed to agree, Good health begins in the gut.¹

      I learned that the fiber and nutrients and healing properties I needed were in natural, whole foods. I experimented with various recipes and slowly learned what
