I love the planet! I also love seeing people well and healthy.

When I started traveling, I quickly realized that where we live on the planet—the culture, family habits, culinary trends of the day—can decide which parts of fruits and vegetables we eat and which parts we don’t. 

I realized that a lot of what we throw away is not only edible, but often contains just as much, if not even more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber than the part of the food we usually eat! 

Many of these things have turned my smoothies into real powerfoods! At a time when it’s more important than ever to keep our immune systems as strong as possible, I find it a cool thing to have fun with, it feels great and it even helps on a larger scale by reducing food-waste on the planet!

I’m sharing a few of my ideas here. They are really only the tip of an iceberg of possibilities! Endless ideas are available with a quick online search.
