Each day American's make food choices that affect their overall health. And while the majority of American's we surveyed (52%) said they are doing everything they can to make the healthiest choice; 76% of adults are still not getting the minimum daily amount of fruits and vegetables as recommended by the USDA. On average, adults eat less than 1.5 cups* of fruits and vegetables a day combined.  

Because of the need for stronger nutrition education we are excited to announce our new wellness programs including: 

• "The Essentials" - An upbeat educational series that cracks the code and gives the real deal surrounding the vitamins, nutrients and compounds contained in the foods we eat.
• "Simple Smoothies" - This series mixes up smoothies for all types of people and situations. 
• "Kitchen Crashers" - A reality-style "nutrition makeover" series in which a HealthiNation nutritionist shows real families how to incorporate healthier food into their lives. Check out a sneak peek on our homepage. 

In providing this new catalog of wellness content we hope to inspire each and every one of you to make the healthiest choice available. After all, good nutrition is a key aspect to healthy living.

Simple Smoothies

What's delicious and nutritious? Smoothies, of course!

There's a simple smoothie recipe for everyone. Whether you're looking to manage your weight, replace a meal, or please the picky eaters in your family; smoothies are a great way to accomplish "stealth" nutrition.  That means getting your kids (or even picky adults) to consume fruits or vegetables they may not otherwise eat. Smoothies are also a great way to ease food-based nutrients into your daily diet, such as fiber and vitamins.

Finally, remember that you can go green with smoothies and create delicious and creamy vegetable recipes, by adding certain fruits that will synergistically taste delicious.
