Green Smoothie Power
Written by Ritamarie Loscalzo on September 30, 2008 – -
I’m heading back to Austin after a very exciting extended weekend in Tucson. Not only did I have great family time, but I attended a business strategy retreat that has me buzzing with excitement. Within the next month I will begin to unveil my plans for a program that is unique, affordable and deeply empowering. I can’t reveal the details yet, but over the next few weeks, some of it is sure to leak.
My 8 month old nephew Jason had another green smoothie today, and he enjoyed it immensely. It was so heartwarming to listen to his squeals of delight as my sister, his grandmother, fed it to him with a spoon. I am coaching her to continue to give him green smoothies daily to provide him with an abundance of nutrition and a powerful immune system.
As for me, I’m excited to be doing another green smoothie cleanse next week, I lead a group cleanse every two months or so and I participate fully. Form, it’s the perfect way to give my body a rest from eating on the run, eating too late at night and not sleeping enough. I always feel lighter, more energetic and happier after I complete a Green Smoothie Cleanse. The group support helps me to follow through. I always keep my commitment to others. On my own, I sometimes fail to follow through.
Here’s the green smoothie recipe similar to what I made for 8 month old Jason:
- 1 Peach
- 1 cup pitted cherries, fresh or frozen
- 1 Apple
- A couple of handfuls of spinach
- A couple of leaves of kale
- 1 cup water
Blend and Taste. Add more fruit if needed. Thin with water if desired.
Enjoy a fabulous day.
Love and Health,
Dr. Ritamarie

Green Smoothies for Kids
Written by Ritamarie Loscalzo on September 29, 2008 – -
I had so much fun today. I’m in Arizona, visiting my sister Barbara and brother Frank. This morning, at my Barbara’s house, after a 2 1/2 hour brisk walk, I made us a big blender full of green smoothie….kale, dandelion greens, spinach, peaches, cherries,mango, banana, lime and ginger. It was strong, but tasty. My sister and I fed part of it to her grandson Jason, age 8 months. He loved it. So much so that I had to take pictures. I posted them on my Green Smoothie Cleanse page http://www.drritamarie.com/GreenCleanse.
In the afternoon, we went to my brother’s house. We were talking about green smoothies, and my nephew Anthony, age 9, was fascinated. He wanted to make one right away. After a trip to the grocery store to buy ingredients, we got started. He had his own ideas, and it was exciting to experience his creativity. We made 3 different smoothies. He decided that he wants to make them regularly and take them to school.
My sister-in-law Terese called me later to say that Anthony and Frank made another smoothie after we left, so he could have one for the next day. Frank and Terese also liked them and plan to start drinking them more regularly. Frank may even join in on my next Green Smoothie Cleanse October 5 – 12. For more details go to http://www.drritamarie.com/GreenCleanse
It felt great to successfully introduce my nephews to green smoothies. Getting kids started on them so young is guaranteed to improve their health dramatically.
I’ll post Anthony’s recipes on the Green Cleanse Forum, which is one of the benefits that participants in the Green Cleanse Program .
Have a beautiful Day.

Announcing Fresh ‘n Fun Living
Written by Ritamarie Loscalzo on September 18, 2008 – -
In just a few days, I will be announcing Fresh ‘n Fun Living. I’m just working on the details and finishing touches. I’m learning a lot about blogging and website design. Probably more than I need to know.
I just returned from Arizona and Raw Spirit Fest. I was a speaker and I had a booth. I met lots of wonderful people and came home even more inspired to share the message of health and healthful living.
My website has been given a facelift. More updates are coming. This is the home grown version.
Check it out and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts and also suggestions about what resources would most help you on your health journey.

Love and Health,
Dr. Ritamarie
