Popeye’s Passion

As Diana Stobo took her health into her own hands and focused on the nutritional value of the foods she was eating, she knew she needed to come up with something amazing for her kids so that they could get the benefits of raw foods each day. So, she created a delicious morning smoothie to serve her children that they would love and she could feel good about. It was a hit with them and a great substitute for morning cereal, toast or waffles, full of life-giving nutrients and it took less than a few minutes to make. This is an all-time favorite, power-packed green smoothie that everyone loves.
