Valya Boutenko demonstrates how you can avoid foamy, unpalatable green smoothies by knowing the difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Adding fruits that are rich in soluble fiber will transform the texture of a green smoothie into something creamy and delicious.

Dear Friends,

This is the peak of the summer and one of best time for picking of the wild edibles growing around us. One of the most prevalent edibles (and perhaps the most under-appreciated) is the dandelion.

In previous video Sergei discussed how you can use dandelion greens in smoothies, salads, and other dishes to reap all of their nutritional goodness.

And what about the flowers? Dandelion flowers are extremely nutritious; they are an excellent source of vitamin D, similar to their greens. In addition, dandelion flowers help detoxify our inner organs, and alkalize the body. The following  instructional and entertaining video demonstrates three fun ways to eat dandelion flowers.  

So, find dandelions that have not been sprayed, harvest and enjoy healthful and delicious meal!

Love, Victoria and Sergei Boutenko 

Dear Friends,

After years of taking people on wild edible walks, Sergei decided to create the ultimate wild edible identification tool. What could be more useful than a colorful wild edible guide in your iPhone?

Adding wild edibles to your diet will benefit your life in many ways! Wild edibles are packed with vitamins and minerals, they vastly expand your food choices, and give you the upper hand in wilderness survival. This Wild Edibles app is a quick way for people to learn how to identify healthy, edible plants, in a safe and easy manner. In addition to vivid photos and elaborate plant descriptions, this app provides the user with helpful tips regarding identification, uses, nutritional highlights, and recipes for each plant. For additional safety, the app also includes valuable information about the top most poisonous plants in North America."

This app also offers:
Edible and poisonous plant reference guide
Field guide of plants with images, descriptions, and delicious recipes
The ability to add your own plants to the data base, i.e. you can take photos of the plants you find and add your own descriptions, notes, and / or mark them as edible or poisonous
Great educational tool for school classes or individuals wanting to learn about plants
The ability to save your favorite plants for easy access
Great tips on harvesting and eating wild plants
An incredible survival tool in the palm of your hand
Flashcard style interface to help you study

Dear Friends, 

Three months ago we created an iPhone app called, "Green Smoothies." It became very popular all over the world and gained 5-star ratings for its valuable and accurate content.

Now we have put together a Green Smoothie Recipe Web App that works on any modern mobile device such as an Android, Blackberry, iPad, and even the computer.   The Green Smoothie Recipe Web App can be found at http://greensmoothiesblog.com/recipes/

We have decided to let you use it absolutely free!

With this web app you can have instant access to countless green smoothie recipes. What makes my program unique: It contains nutrition data that accompanies every ingredient and each recipe. Along with this data, I have included the nutritional highlights of what foods are beneficial for particular health conditions. For example, raspberries are associated with colon cancer protective properties, parsley has been shown to inhibit tumor formation in the lungs, and lemons are useful in conditions like colds, flu’s, and recurrent ear infections. All of my nutritional highlights come from the best, most trusted sources one of which is http://nutritiondata.self.com/.

We recommend you bookmark this site so you can easily access it anytime. You may save a bookmark to your mobile device's home screen to quickly open "The Green Smoothies Recipe Web App."

Those of you who own iPhones now have two choices:

• You may view the free web app on your internet capable phone or computer.
• You can still purchase the iPhone app for $1.99 for the sake of its extra convenience in use. For more information or to purchase the iPhone app - Visit the App Store

Enjoy new green smoothies every day anywhere in the world!

Love, Victoria
