Help them discover WHY greens should become a staple of their diet and HOW include greens in their meals in a variety of delicious and nutritious ways.
Action Plan
Teach your clients about the amazing nutritional benefits of greens.
Greens: Your Key to Vibrant Energy e-book: Discover the health benefits of nutritious greens, the amazing variety of greens to choose from, and a selection of recipes to boost your energy and nutrition.
Blended Greens for Health and Longevity: This great starter e-book features some of the same information from Greens: Your Key to Vibrant Energy, but with a focus on using blended greens to boost your vitality.
Eat greens raw or lightly steamed.
In most cases, consuming greens raw is best, but that doesn’t mean that *all* choices have to be raw. You can steam them and add a delicious dressing or sauce. Target to eat at least half of your greens raw if you can.
In some cases, as with inflammatory bowel, you may need to eat all of your greens lightly steamed for a month or so to allow for bowel healing.
Start consuming blended greens every day: 32 – 64 ounces.
Work up to drinking 32 to 64 ounces of green beverages each day: smoothies, green soups, green juices, or green powdered drinks.
Commit to eating a salad every day.
Commit to eating one large salad daily, filled with greens, sprouts, and rainbow vegetables. While blending is a quick and easy way to take in larger volumes of greens, chewing and mixing your food with your saliva is still an important part in optimizing your digestion.
Consume a variety of greens and try making a variety of recipes.
No matter how you serve them up, there is no denying that greens with all their unique benefits are power houses of nutrients and promote exceptional health. Eat a variety of greens to access a variety of minerals and nutritional benefits. Challenge yourself to try new recipe containing greens per day or per week, and be sure to switch up which greens you use.
Watch green recipe videos from the Food Video Library to get started.
Work up to eating 2 lbs of greens per day.
If you’re already eating greens daily, make a point of eating 2 pounds of greens one day this week. See how you feel. Observe how easy or difficult it is. Brainstorm ways to do this regularly.
