I’ve never been much of a vegetable eater.  In fact, my mom gave up trying to force me to eat them when I would literally gag every time I tried to put a pea into my mouth.

I’m all grown up now, and my tolerance for vegetables has increased, but they are just not a staple in my diet.  I’m not much better with fruit.  I’ll have the occasional fruit salad on a warm summer day, and sometimes I will throw a few berries into a protein shake just to mix it up a little.  So, I’ve tried a few different ways to get fruits and vegetables into my diet.

I started out drinking juices like V8, but the standard versions have way too much sodium, and the reduced sodium versions (to me) don’t taste as good.  If I’m going to drink tomato juice, I’d prefer to have some premium vodka and spices mixed in for a kick butt Bloody Mary

So, I found a product that helps me to get the necessary fruits and vegetables into my diet without compromising quality.  One serving of Greens+  is equivalent to 5 full servings of fresh fruits and vegetables.  I take two servings a day to supplement the fruits and vegetables I’m already consuming.  I throw it into my protein shakes and it mixes in great.

I don’t think I have to tell you how important fruit and vegetables are in terms of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  They also contribute to your overall energy and vitality as well as speeding recovery from your workouts.  Isn’t it time you go green?
