Mango: High in potassium, beta-cartotene (to make your skin soft, smooth, and glowy), and also high in fiber so it aids in digestion. Some studies also suggest it helps burn fat.


Pineapple: High in Vitamin C, pineapple supports a healthy immune system, while also promoting a more youthful appearance by increasing collagen production for plumper, firmer, tighter, skin. Manganese supports bone and tissue health, while  enzyme bromelain aids in digestion.


Papaya: A true beauty food, papaya promotes glowing, clear, radiant skin and eyes, adds luster to the hair, and calms indigestion. 

The Number One Investment for Your Health + Free Shipping

Hello lovelies,

As you know, I recently bought a Vitamix and absolutely adore it. 

I was first introduced to the machine while training at the Natural Gourmet Institute, but was always hesitant to buy my own because of the price. While it's not exactly cheap, I consider it the best investment in my health that I've made, and I can confidently say it's worth every penny!

It makes eating healthy:

Easy: I find my fruit and veggie intake has increased substantially, simply because I can now quickly and easily prepare them! The Vitamix can effectively blend just about anything.

Fast: Delicious smoothies or soups are ready in minutes. In the mornings, I love putting in frozen or fresh fruit with a bit of water, and boom, drinkable breakfast ready in 60 seconds. I find the smoothies to be super filling any they keep me satiated 'till lunch. Try my Skin Glow Smoothie or Blueberry Beauty Boost.

Plus, It's extremely simple to clean: Everybody likes a clean house, but who likes to clean? Not me, which is why I love that you simply have to put a drop of soap and some water in the Vitamix and turn it on for about 30 seconds so it can clean itself. Now if only the rest of my apartment could clean itself...

I use it at least once, sometimes twice a day. 

Unlike juicers, the Vitamix allows you to blend your fruits and veggies to make a silky smoothie, with all the vitamins and fiber still intact. While juices can leave you hungry, Vitamix smoothies are extremely filling. 

So why this long love letter to the Vitamix? I'm so happy with it, I wish everyone had one!
