Happy New Year – Here’s hoping 2015 is a great year with health, prosperity and great food & wine.
My first guest for 2015 is Emily von Euw with her latest book; 100 Best Juices, Smoothies and Healthy Snacks. We all seem to need a little help after the great food & drink associated with the holidays and this book might just be a great way to help you jump start your journey back to a normal healthy lifestyle.
Smoothies and juices are one of the easiest and most delicious ways to enjoy fruits and vegetables. Combined with healthy vegan milks, berries, nuts, and spices, they can be surprisingly filling and refreshing. But rather than tossing whatever is in the kitchen into the blender, having a reliable set of recipes to maximize the benefits and flavors of various combinations will help you reach your health and weight goals much more easily.
Popular blogger, Emily von Euw of This Rawsome Vegan Life, has made a name for herself creating delectable raw and vegan recipes. Her new book 100 BEST JUICES, SMOOTHIES & HEALTHY SNACKS [Page Street Publishing, December 2014, $19.99 US] features 100 fresh smoothie and juice recipes. With both sweet and savory juices and smoothies, as well as mylk-shakes, energy bars, and snacks, 100 BEST JUICES, SMOOTHIES & HEALTHY SNACKS will take blender creations to a whole new level. Each recipe also contains information about how the specific ingredients can be used to boost health
In the second half Jill Adams joins us to talk about her recent article featured in the Washington Post as well as the Wichita Eagle. The article: “Is Drinking Alcohol Going to Make You Fat” (Click here to read it) fits nicely in today’s program as we once again try to shed the poundage gained over the holidays.

Saint Auguste is a selection of the best cuvées of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The color is a rich dark purple with bright ruby highlights.
