We're excited about Nanogreens, a greens drink with the potency of 8-10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables and loads of other healthy ingredients! Our staff had noticed increased energy, decreased healing time, better elimination and more! Combining it with NanOmega3's and/or NanoPro (whey protien) makes a phenomenally healthy meal replacement!
We're having a "GO GREEN" day at our office on June 19, 2009 with free taste tests and discounts on all our Nano products!
It should be a blast!! But more importantly, how many people will lead healthier lives by consuming 8-10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables????????? More than I can imagine! GO GREEN!!

Eating A Healthy Breakfast: How Hard Is It?
I've had a few instances recently whereby I've had people trying to find out how to eat healthy to start their day. We know breakfast is very important, but unfortunately, many of our western breakfast regulars are not healthy. There is hardly a cereal out there that I would consider healthy. Most of them are quite processed and have the evil High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Even some juices touted as healthy such as V8 Splash have as their first listed ingredient HFCS. That is an ingredient that is particularly unhealthy and found to be a source of many different health problems. Do a google search on HFCS and it's harmful effects, I guarantee you will start looking for it in your food products.
Sorry, I digressed a bit there. Now, onto healthy breakfasts. I'll start with more complicated ones first, then to the easier ones. Try making a healthy Omelet with eggs and cheese of course, but add in some green pepper, mushrooms, spinach or other vegetable to go along with it. If you're like me and can't really make an official omelet, just scramble some eggs with that mixture in it. Get creative and try different things in your eggs. I sometimes just add in a can of Rotel tomatoes with green chiles in it for a bit of spice.
I would always suggest a serving of fruit in the mornings. We need fiber in all of our meals, and not from a fiber supplement. If you only add a supplement, then you are missing out on anti-oxidants that come with the fiber of fruits and vegetables. Try some oatmeal with some fresh (organic if possible) strawberries/blackberries/blueberries in them. whole grain cereals like shredded wheat with berries is a good choice too. You can also add in some ground flax seed into oatmeal and cereals for fiber and healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.
Fruit smoothies are a great way to start the day as well. Don't go buy them, most of the ones you buy use syrupy fruit concoctions that are not healthy. Instead, buy froze fruits (organic is best). You can get all kinds of berries, berry medleys etc in any grocery store. Put in a cup to 2 cups of frozen fruit. Add in some lowfat plain yogurt (about a cup worth). Then use a fruit juice like orange juice, pineapple etc along with some low fat milk (almond milk would be a great choice). You'll need to play with the exact amounts to make the smoothie to the consistency you like. You can also add in the ground flax seed to your smoothies, as well as a whey protein mix for added benefits.
Juicing is also good on occasion. 3 good sized apples, along with three carrots and a small piece of ginger root makes a tasty, tangy juice. It's not enough for a full breakfast by any means, but it's a good "side" dish. If you can get the Vita-mixer, it even pulverizes the fiber and has it in the juice too. For an added benefit, a bit of greens like kale or mustard greens can be added in too, but don't go overboard with that as it will make the juice too bitter.
With all juicing and smoothies, if you're diabetic, please consult your doctor and watch your blood sugar levels. Some may have a bit of a blood sugar spike, if so, use the smoothies as a side dish instead of a main meal.
