I am so excited to announce that I have published my very first eBook, Holistic in the City  21 Day Smoothie Guide! Holistic in the City 21 Day Smoothie Guide contains 21 delicious smoothie recipes made with love by 7 Holistic Nutritionists. It also has lots of information including our basic smoothie formula, the answer to the age-old debate of juicing vs smoothies and what to look for when buying protein powder.

Who is Holistic in the City?

Holistic in the City consists of my six closest friends who I met while studying to become Holistic Nutritionists. For two years, we spent countless hours learning, studying, supporting, sharing, and most importantly, eating together. This is an amazing group of ladies and I am so grateful to have them in my life. The group includes Sarah Bester, Danielle Binns, Alycia Bromley, Mandy King, Jenn Parsons and Samantha Ushedo.

Why a book about smoothies?

We found that when we work with clients, often one of the first changes we make is to start incorporating smoothies into their diets. This small change is easy to incorporate into a busy lifestyle but it has an incredibly positive impact. People are always asking us for new smoothie ideas, so we wanted to create a smoothie guide with a variety of different ingredients and superfoods that offer nounerous health benefits. Here is a little sample of a yummy smoothie featured in the Holistic in the City  21 Day Smoothie Guide eBook.

Liver Detox Smoothie

This smoothie helps gently detoxify your liver. The pigment that gives beets their deep and beautiful red colour has been proven to help detoxify the liver. Parsley contains a high amount of vitamin K, which has been proven to protect against liver toxins and cancer. Lastly, ginger is a well-known anti-inflammatory that provides immune boosting properties.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 small to medium beet, peeled
• 1/4 cup parsley
• 1 apple
• 1 lemon peeled
• 1/2″ piece of ginger
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth!
