A properly chilled 36 degree F. smoothie. Note how it is filled all the way to the top. No space for oxygen deterioration.

Dear Sproutman,
Since I’m at work all day, can I make the smoothies in the A.M. and take them to work or do they have to be made and drunk right away?

Dear Melanie,
You should bottle your drinks, chill them, and take them to work in a portable cold bag. Or refrigerate them at work if you can. If properly chilled, they don’t need to be drunk right away. Of course, the fresher the better, but the deterioration process is pretty slow and it is sufficiently stabilized by cold. Read the rest of this entry »

JUICE FEASTING
This is fasting. We’ll be drinking our way to health for 7-10 days and you’ll be guided through it before, during, and after. We will use special combinations of juices, herbs, and other drinks to cleanse the lungs, liver, intestinal track, bladder, kidneys, and skin. If you have never fasted before, it’s easier than you think. And you’ll be amazed at how nourished and energized you will feel. We’ll organize a generous diet of juices and other drinks to consume during your fasting week. Every day of fasting adds days to your years and quality to your days.

ALTERNATIVES TO FASTING
Don’t think you can fast? Do you have diabetes, hypoglycemia, or other conditions but still want to cleanse? Sproutman will provide alternatives. So, if you want to cleanse, but are not ready to fast, you can still join us.

“The seven day juice fast I participated in under the guidance and educational support of Steve Meyerowitz was life changing for me. I learned to read messages from my body that I had never been in tune with before and I felt better than I had for as long as I could remember. My complexion improved, my eczema cleared up and some joint pain I had been experiencing disappeared. I looked better, felt better, and thought about my relationship to food and my body in ways that have influenced my choices since. It was terrific and something I am committed to doing several times per year.”

Thanks Steve! —Eliza Crescentini, CFRE
