Greenberry Shakeology Recipe: Orchard Apple

Eating your produce is the best way to get in your necessary fiber and vitamins. But if you don’t like produce or have a hard time getting much of it into your meals, blending is the next best option. Blending insures that you’re still retaining the good of the whole produce with minimal nutrient loss. The juicing process, however, removes nearly all the fiber and destroys 10-20 percent of the antioxidants. Plus, there’s a a fair amount of waste with juicing. If juicing is the only way you’re going to consume produce, so be it. But the more you can eat it whole or blend it, the better.

Regardless of how you consume produce, the sooner you eat it (or drink the harvested juice), the better. Heat, light, and oxygen are the enemy: so the longer you wait, the less you benefit.

I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
