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

Dear Friends,

We are so glad that you enjoyed our previous post with information about the outstanding benefits of pomegranates. Many of you asked exactly how to juice these miraculous fruits. Here is how we do it in my family. You may use any electric citrus juicer. We especially like the CitriStar we bought from Tribest.com because of its powerful motor. Since juicing pomegranates is a bit more complicated than juicing oranges, Valya and I made these photographs for you.

Good tip #1: Choose smaller, dark red ripe pomegranates that yield slightly to the touch.  Cut pomegranate in half.

Good tip #2: Place a plate under the pomegranate to avoid staining your cutting board red forever and to save some extra juice.

When cut correctly, you will be greeted with a beautiful red star.

Begin to juice just like you would juice an orange.

When you get to the seeds hidden in the folds as shown in this picture, tilt the pomegranate so that the ream of the juicer is pointed towards each pocket of seeds.

You will see that is very easy to juice most of the seeds.

To collect every bit of the precious juice, you may grab the seeds and the pulp and squeeze them with your hand.

Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice is often tart in taste. In my family we like to juice an orange or two on top of the pomegranate.

This picture shows a juice made of two pomegranates and three oranges. I like to drink this cocktail every morning during the short pomegranate season

Enjoy!

Love, Victoria

Dear Friends, 

Since August of this year I have been working hard on a surprise project that today, has finally been completed. Apple has just approved my Green Smoothie iPhone Application. If you have an iPhone, you can have instant access to countless green smoothie recipes. What makes my program unique, is the nutrition data that accompanies every ingredient and each recipe. Along with nutritional data, I have included the nutritional highlights of what foods are beneficial for particular health condition. For example, raspberries are associated with colon cancer protective properties, parsley have been shown to inhibit tumor formation in the lungs, and lemons are useful in conditions like colds, flu's, and recurrent ear infections.

It took me five months to compile the scientific information to create this application, and format it in an easily comprehensible manner. All of my nutritional highlights come form the best most trusted sources one of which is http://nutritiondata.self.com/

To make this program esthetically beautiful, and to make the ingredients easy to recognize, I purchased all of the ingredients of each smoothie and hired my good friend and brilliant photographer Robert Petetit to capture artistic images of the produce.

This applications is available for $1.99. This could be a great last minute gift for friends and relatives who have iPhones. To purchase the App go to the iPhone App Store or you can use this link.

For those of you who do not have an iPhone, I have some good news: We in the process of making this application into a website.

Love, Victoria

Dear Friends,

We keep receiving feedback about  Sergei’s video that we posted last month. In the footage he prepared a green smoothie from the wild green called plantain. Then he demonstrated how to apply the mixture to the skin, using his girlfriend Briana as a model.  

 We are delighted that many people tried and loved Sergei’s skin product. Our readers told us that they also used parsley, borage and other greens. Yesterday I received a phone call from a group of ladies who organized a green facial party. One of them spotted lots of green plantain leaves growing in her backyard. Her friends brought the rest of the ingredients, blended them together and applied onto each other’s skin. They kept it on for about ten minutes until it started to dry and became ticklish. Then they washed it off.

 The ladies couldn’t believe how smooth their skin became. One of the women had a persistent rash on her face and after one application of the plantain green smoothie, it instantly disappeared.

 If you would like to watch Sergei’s video and try a green facial yourself, please follow this link

Happy Green Spa Weekend,

Love, Victoria
