Bye-Bye, Stimulants — Hello, Green Smoothies
GREEN SMOOTHIE TESTIMONIALS
I have received hundreds of testimonials in my research and on my Web site www.greensmoothiegirl.com.
(You can read many more there, including quite a few with stories of measurable improvements in biomarkers).
These were the very first ones I was given as I began writing this course.
I am at my ideal weight and have never been overweight, and I run or lift weights six days a week and eat a
healthy diet. Imagine my shock when I went to a clinic and was told I was pre-diabetic, that it was just a matter
of time before I had full-blown diabetes. I burst out laughing when the nurse practitioner told me her
recommendation was to cut out sugar, since I eat so little of it already. Robyn taught me about green smoothies,
and I began making them daily for my family, as well as teaching others about them. I just went back to the
clinic after several months of my new green smoothie habit, and they said all signs of the pre-diabetic condition
were gone. The only thing I changed was adding green smoothies to my diet!

I started green smoothies in Dec. 2010. I wanted to be a little healthier—didn’t know all the benefits I would
receive! I have had stomach pain for 10 years, and two weeks after I started green smoothies, my stomach
stopped hurting. And I was no longer constipated. My husband had told me I had bad breath, and it disappeared
with my green smoothie habit. I read all about the colon online and learned what was causing a lot of my pain.
Now I am crazy about healthy whole foods, and Robyn’s books have helped so much!
I’ve lost 10 lbs. and am at my perfect weight of 112 lbs. without trying. I always had pain with sex, and it has
disappeared. My teeth are no longer sensitive, and I don’t crave candy bars, ice cream, and cookies.
This has changed my life and maybe saved it. My grandfather died of colon cancer at 69 and great grandmother
at 45. I am 42 and have always exercised and thought I was eating healthy. I feel better now than I have in the
last five years. Adding lots more greens and whole foods into my diet has been amazing for me and my family.

The power of peer influence is impressive. I’d been drinking green smoothies regularly for several months, but
had yet to convince my children to participate. One day I was looking at your Web site and my children, ages 4-
12, were looking over my shoulder. They saw a picture of Emma, flexing, with her green smoothie [on the
original GSG site's home page], and my daughter said, “Wow—she’s buff!” That day they all had a small glass
of green smoothie for the first time! I guess kids really will drink them.
