Lien’s Beauty Water Bliss and VitaMix Story

Lien's Green Smoothie Baby Bliss

Hi Jane!

First off, I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have found your videos on YouTube.  I was debating on whether or not to get a blendtec or a vitamix and watching your videos really helped me decide to go with the vitamix.  Anyway, I love all of your recipes and your descriptions of them!

I started with smoothies and now I’m doing the green waters (beauty water).  At first I had to add lots of sweeteners like fruit and dates but now I can do with very little to none at all; you really do start craving them.  My husband saw me drinking them all the time and I got him hooked now!

He’s still a “beginner,” so I add about 1/4 cup organic apple juice concentrate, a few rounds of raw agave nectar or NOG.  He LOVES it! And this is the first juice I let my 2.5 year old drink.  He absolutely loves it too.

Okay, I just wanted to share my refreshing drink with you so that you may share this for all the “beginners” out there.  If this can “turn” my husband and my 2 year old loves it, it has to be good!

About 6 cups water
2 very large handfuls of kale or spinach
1 small cucumber or 1/2 large one
1/4 lemon (rind and all)
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1 cup of ice to make it cold (or leave this out, but I like mine cold)

You’re more than welcome to post my comments.  Anything to help others start somewhere; on the road to a happier healthier lifestyle.  I can’t believe how much the vitamix has changed my life.
