I am super excited to share this collection of great tasting and healthy smoothies with you. My name is Phil Vandermeer and I’m committed to a healthy eating lifestyle that’s neither routine nor tasteless.

I began juicing and blending back in 2003 when I first set out to lose excess body weight and build lean muscle. Along with jogging and resistance training, I juiced and blended my way to losing more than 30 pounds of fat in just 10 months.

In this publication you’ll find 12 of my best smoothie recipes you can try for yourself. They build en-ergy, supply nutrition and load your body with the right kind fuel for your healthy and active lifestyle.

Always remember, smoothie recipes are not written in stone! You can adust them by adding or elimi-nating ingredients according to your own taste and nutritional needs. The recipes you’ll find here are delicious, and serve as a solid guideline for what you want and need.

To your best health,

Phil Vandermeer

All About Smoothies

Instant Whey Protein

Juicers and Juicing

100% Whey Protein can provide great benefit for people who work out hard and want to bulk up on-muscle tissue. Just remember, the very best source of protein is...red meat. Egg whites are packed with protein as well. Top sirloin is lean and loaded with natural protein. However, if you want to begin to pack on muscle tissue, you’ll probably want to include instant protein in your regimen.

Juicing is one of the fastest ways to get the benefit of vitamins and minerals absorbed into your blood stream in the fastest possible way. It may be difficult to eat 10 carrots all at once, but you can juice them and drink those powerful vitamins, minerals and enzymes straightaway. Enzymes begin break-ing down immediately, and fresh juice should be consumed as soon as possible for maximum benefit.

If you need to wait before investing in a quality juicing machine, you can, of course buy prepackaged juice from your local grocer. Just be aware that juice that’s been packaged is almost always pasteur-ized, which destroys enzymes and kills vitamins and minerals. Packaging companies often add vita-mins back into juice once it’s been processed, just to get something back into it that’s somewhat good for you. Buy organic and stay away from corn syrup until you can get a juicer.

Other Things You Can Add To SmoothiesHere’s a short list of just a few of the multitude of things you can add to your smoothie to increase it’s potency, make it smoother, or make it taste better! These are my favorites:

• Nuts - for increased energy, nuts provide high caloric intake and necessary fatty acids• Oatmeal - rolled oats are a staple (for me) and provide hours of sustained energy• Sorbet - a variety of flavors can make a dull smothie vibrant and delicious!• Wheat Germ- the most potent part of the wheat kernel• Yogurt - adds smoothness to any smoothie, which is what makes it so common in recipes!• Ice Cream - adds richness and smoothness, but be careful, it’ll make you gain weight!• Varieties of Frozen Fruit - can be experimented with for blending flavors.• Honey - because honey is sweet and it’s good for you.

Blenders and BlendingIt is essential to have a good quality blender for making your smoothies. The choices cebnter around size and power. One option is the Nutri-Bullet, but only go with that if you are blending for personal use. You can check out a variety of blenders and bullets by clicking the links on the next page.
