Once and For All!
What if 10 days was all it took to turn your life around?
Dear health-seeking superhero-to-be,
What happened when you woke up this morning? Chances are very good that it was one of two things:
 1. You opened your eyes, a few minutes before the alarm went off, feeling alert and ready to take on the day with a positive outlook on life and loads of energy.
OR...
2. When your alarm went off this morning, the sting of light burned your eyes as you wrestled to slap the snooze button. One time. Two times. Three times.
You peeled yourself unwillingly from between the sheets while the aches in your joints and exhaustion begged you to keep on dreaming. After a long sigh you relunctantly dragged yourself to the shower to force yourself to get through another endless day.
So, which one was it?
If you're an early-riser who wakes up rarin' to go, then skip ahead and sign up right away! You're going to have a blast on my 10-day green smoothie challenge and feel surrounded by keen cucumber-lovers like yourself. Sign up!
If you woke up this morning with aches in your bones and an unshakable yearning to go back to your dreams, then I'd like to ask you a question:
Is what you're currently doing in your life and with your health working for you?
Well, is it?
Listen, whether you came here from the burger barn or the salad bar, I'm not here to make any judgements about what you eat or how much. In fact, you may be surprised to know, I'm not even here to offer you any scientifically impressive imformation about nutrition so that I can convince you to join my green smoothie empire.
Nope.
Chances are pretty good this isn't your first attempt to take charge of your health and well-being.
We do it again and again and again. We put in a healthy habit; we put in two old nasty ones again. The search for balance and a better way to live is constantly demanding our attention. I know for a fact this is NOT the first time you've tried to investigate what you can do to improve your health in some way. But the question is, how will this time be different?
Chances are pretty good you already know what you need to know to be healthy, happy, and fit.
You already know you need to eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise, and get enough sleep in order to thrive in life. You know your health is influenced by your attitude and outlook too. You've heard it all before and you know the deal, so why haven't you been feeling at the to p of your game and how could you possibly turn things around in only 10 days?
Well, my little collard-crunching health hero, it all starts here:
My 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge
If you have come here for the very first time and have no idea what the fuss about green slop in a glass is all about, then you might want to start with our FREE 3-Day Green Smoothie Mini-Course. Just click here to learn everything you need to know about green smoothies and prepare yourself for a green smoothie challenge! I know that once you've tried them, you'll be back here begging for more!
What is a Green Smoothie Challenge?
For ten days, you will see for yourself what happens when you add at least one green smoothie to your diet per day. This doesn't have to be radical. You don't have to give up anything you already love. You just need to ADD MORE GREENS. Depending upon your enthusiasm and experience, you can certainly drink more than one green smoothie, but I recognize that everyone who takes on a challenge must do so according to their experience and desire for results. I provide the information you need to educate yourself about the relationship between greens and your health; the recipes that you can try, adapt, and devour; and the emotional inspiration you'll need with e-mails, a community to support you, and positive daily encouragement and rewards. Then, the challenge of taking action is totally up to you.

What do I need to be able to participate?
All you really need are fresh fruits, leafy greens, and a decent blender (and maybe a flashy new outfit to show yourself off when you finish!).
You don't need a power blender, but it obviously makes for smoother smoothies. For this 10-Day Challenge, if you don't have a blender, just hit your local hardware store, pick up a decent blender that will crush ice, and you'll be just fine!
Around here, we run the 3-Horse Power Blendtec Blender of Loooooove! I'll tell you all about why I chose this blender once you sign up. You'll see that our experiments prove Blendtec out-blends the competition and makes smoother smoothies.
Will you provide recipes?
Absolutely!! While I encourage you to be creative and make and share your own original smoothie recipes, I also will provide you with LOADS of inspiration to get started. You'll receive at least five recipes for each day of the challenge... that's over 50 recipes to keep your green engines running!
When does it start?
 Immediately! Once you register, you'll instantly receive the information you'll need via e-mail to participate in the 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge.
Our Online Community Forum
You'll be given access to my online community forum called "The Emerald Lounge" where you'll meet other green smoothie slurpers, share recipes, make friends and get all the support you need to make this a successful adventure for you.
Daily E-mail Messages and Recipes Galore!
Every day throughout the challenge, I'll send you a daily e-mail to support and encourage you to stick with the program! Each day I'll address a new topic and share some nifty tidbits of inspiration, recipes, support, and fresh ideas for your fresh, new way of life.
Prizes and Surprises to Keep You Smiling
I've even reduced myself to bribery and included loads of opportunities for you to win prizes and special rewards just for playing along and participating as we go through the program.
How much does it cost?
It's a drop in the bucket compared to what it costs you to feel sick, tired, and sluggish every day! I've kept the price reasonable so that ANYONE can afford to sign up and experience the benefits of what green smoothies can do, and if for any reason you can't afford a dollar a day, just contact me and I'll help you arrange a work exchange or scholarship. It' only $10 to participate. That's just a dollar a day! (Most people spend at least that amount every day on coffee and a sugary donut they regret eating 15 minutes later.)
The Queen's Green Guarantee
If you are not completely satisfied, thrilled, and down right enthusiastically evangelical about green smoothies by the end of 10 days, just let me know. I'll give you back your $10 and you can go buy yourself a coffee and a sugary muffin.
 But before you do that...
If you still have questions or aren't sure click here to read my Frequently Asked Questions. Listen, don't take my word for it. Once you're inside, you'll see for yourself there are thousands of other people just like you giving their blenders the best workout they've ever had.
 
After Your 10-Day Challenge, You'll Be Sending Me Stories Like These Ones:

We just got sick of istock photography and decided it was time to use some REAL pictures for a change!
Thanks to all those who send in their pictures AND their testimonials!***
 I'm enjoying my green smoothie challenge. It feels like I'm on a not-so-good-for-you food binge. Everything I make is delicious and both my kids and husband drink all the smoothies too. I'm the only one living on them, they drink them as a treat. Isn't that great?
I made a smoothie from one of your recipes - apple, spinach, grapes and raspberries. I used black raspberries, so the smoothie wasn't green (even with a ton of spinach in it), but had a delicious deep purple color. It was wonderful!
Another new thing (for me) is parsley.... I didn't think I'll like it, but I had to try (mango, banana, parsley, water). It had such a fresh taste that I crave it.... and I'll make another batch to take to work tomorrow.
Parsley hugs,
Zorana
I have been participating in the challenge and I even have gotten my Mom involved and now she's addicted too!!
I have been on green smoothies for about 2 months now, and I am so addicted! I have been eating them for breakfast and lunch but having a healthy solid food dinner. I work in a restaurant so it's a little hard! :) I recently bought the book Green for Life, it's great to see you reference it.
Well, I just wanted to say hello and thank you, I have learned so much from your website, blogs, the powder room... I had to send an e-mail and participate. It's really changed my life!
Honestly.
Have a great day!"

 My kids (Chloe - age 5 & Corban - age 2) are even jumping on the green smoothie band-wagon! Every morning we whip up a smoothie and they get to pick all the fruit they want to include. Mostly it ends up being cucumber (my choice), strawberries, peaches, pineapple, grapes, etc.! And then we whip it smooth and add in lots of ice and a big handful of fresh spinach leaves and blend it again. It gets nice and green! They just love working in the kitchen and making all that noise with the blender each morning! I usually put their smoothies in the reusable “kid cups” you get from restaurants so they can have a lid and a straw in the car. (It also serves to distract them from seeing such a green color! The smoothies taste fruity…but look a little too much like a veggie for my normally picky eaters!) But they slurp it up and usually ask for more!
I just can't tell you how thankful I am to you for empowering me to give my kids such nutritious greens each and every day without the stress of trying to convince them that it’s good for them!
Thanks again,
Kareah Wakeland
This Green Smoothie Challenge was just what I needed to lead into this summer's Body Enlightenment System. Green smoothies do an amazing job at keeping the cravings away, so this challenge was particularly important, as it kept me from splurging on unhealthy treats as a last hurrah before the BES. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I *planned* to have a bit of a last hurrah the last couple of days before the BES began, but once I started drinking those green smoothies, I lost all desire for my hurrah. I wasn't even tempted! As a bonus, during the days of the challenge, my breastmilk production was increased (very important to me as a breastfeeding mom!), my fibromyalgia pain has lessened a bit, and I’ve released 6 pounds back into the wild. I’m feeling great and ready for the BES!
Thank you for all your inspiration.

Well I have really incorporated green smoothies into my daily food intake “regiment”. I started them before the official start of the challenge :) and haven’t stopped. Most of all I feel great about giving them to my two toddlers daily, too. I am finding myself craving smoothies over regular cooked food and will follow my body’s cues as I believe if I am craving things that are not bad for me then I need to listen to my body ;). What a concept huh?!?!
Thank you so much for the support and venue for me to incorporate more greens than I ever imagined our family eating. I know our bodies are getting great nutrients and the Moore family thanks you very much!
Blessings,
- Laura
 This Green Smoothie Challenge was exactly what we needed.
My husband loves greens and will eat whatever green smoothie I make and come up with suggestions. However, I was struggling to get in enough greens, without getting too much fat and salt. I like a salad, but with olives, avocado, grounded sesame, or whatever. Green smoothies solve that problem as they don’t need fat or salt, just fruit. Great!!
The nicest change is our youngest son. He's 17 year old, a great kid. He says: "I'm not raw. I just eat what I like." Luckily he loves fruit, but he avoids greens like the plague. : (
His main food is fruit and legumes and he drinks about 2 quarts of water a day. His normal breakfast is 16 oz of fresh OJ, then when he comes home he gets a huge bowl of fruit. For dinner he has legumes, sometimes with some tuna, and in the evening whatever fruit he can find. Sometimes he gets out of line, but he'll notice that immediately in his skin. In that case he'll increase the amount of water and stick to fruit. This time (hey, it's vacation, right) it didn't work, so I suggested green smoothies. And you know what? He likes them and the acne quieted down immediately. From now on he’s hooked on green smoothies. He wants a one for breakfast and one in the evening. : D
Thanks Green Smoothie Queen!

 Hi…..we are all having a fun time with the Green Smoothie Challenge. I say we….because my husband and I gathered about 20 people together and we are all doing the Challenge at different levels for 2 weeks. We have people from 16 years of age to 89 years of age giving it a go. It will be fun when we all finish our 2 week mark to hear all their results. Thanks for the inspiration.
Lexi, my 8yr old has enjoyed these past few days so much she has asked to have a “Green” Lemonde Stand this coming weekend!
So what else could I say but YES!!! You go my little Smoothie Princess! She's spreading the word to every child on her school bus to stop by this Sat. and try something new, something cool, something delicious, Lexi’s Green Lemonade! How cool is that! We’ll be sure to send you an update and pics! :)
Blessings,

 By the way, this is my first time EVER tasting/making/enjoying a green smoothie. I have to admit I was very afraid of what I was getting into, but I plan on having one for breakfast for the next week…well, probably longer. I love them. Had one for breakfast and lunch yesterday. I'm slowly cranking my efforts up…making sure my body is on the same page. I have to say, I'm in love. I feel better, I'm more confident, and I’ve even shed a couple of pounds already! So much fun, I can’t believe how excited I am about all of it. Really. Every time I drink a smoothie, I imagine healthy green stuff coursing through my veins. So much fun :)
Also, I'm planning on going home for a week in Texas, and I’m going to try and get my sister and mom hooked! Wish me luck, as they both have high cholesterol, are over-weight, and need this more than me…well, maybe not more, but just the same.

 I never knew I could love kale so much :D Just the smell of kale excites my tongue and enlivens my spirit. I loved kale with blueberries. kale with melons. kale with kiwi and grapes and fresh squeezed orange juice. (I rotated between kale and spinach cuz I love them both so much) but I also had kale with melon, pineapple, grapes, peaches, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries :D Divine! And my children were begging me for more every day :D Even my husband liked it!
My teeth are whiter, my skin is clearer and my eyes & spirits are brighter…amazing! Thank you so much for expanding the awareness of green smoothies to the world, Divas! You rock!!!
I also lost a little bit of excess chub. Yea me!
Love, Light, and adoring Hugs,

Think about it.
Where do you want to be a year from now?
5 years from now?
You're sitting on the edge of an opportunity right now. An opportunity to turn your health and your life around and experience what something new can do for you. You already know what pizza, lasagna, burgers and fries feel like. You already know where potato chips and soda pop will lead you. And you certainly know how it feels to wake up tired and aching every morning.
This is the unknown, and you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking up the challenge.
Are you going to spend another $10 on a greasy burgers and fries before you finally decide to invest in YOURSELF?
Decide RIGHT NOW to invest a dollar a day for ten days and see what it can do. Get started right now and if at ANY time you feel you're not getting the results you need I will personally offer you a consultation with me. THEN, if you still feel like things aren't going right for you, I'll refund your money and you can go back to burgers
For a dollar a day, can you afford NOT to?
Don't take my word for it.
Find out for yourself how easy it is to lose weight, look younger, and spring out of bed with the help
 of GREEN SMOOTHIES!
Yes, my Queen! I want to raise my green smoothie jug and join the LIVE St. Patty's Day 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge beginning on March 17, 2010!!
I understand that I will:

- receive access to an online community with other green smoothie slurpers
- participate in special bonus offers, give-aways, and other surprises
- get the chance to look younger, feel better, have more energy and poop three times a day!!
