Hi! Happy New Year!

In case you missed it, we had our baby! And while we were not planning to do a big newsletter (featuring new recipes, videos, etc) for a bit, we have a few timely items for you.

1) Last chance: Vitamix Holiday Pricing Ends Sunday January 7th

Vitamix Holiday Savings 2017 showing Explorian E310 with green smoothie on sale for $299Chances are, if you’re seeing this, you’re already a Vitamix owner. In that case, this is a note for your friends and family. From the E310 for $299 all the way up to the $750+ ultimate setup like we use (A3500 plus a secondary 48 oz wet container), there will not be a better time to “take the plunge” (or give the gift of health) in 2018.

2) How to start a smoothie habit in 2018

We make (or have yesterday’s leftover) green juice every morning. It’s what we do.

Want to make this a routine of yours?

Well, there’s a right way and a wrong way to actually make this a habit you adopt.

Wrong way: Watch me show you how to make green juice and feel motivated.

Right way: Watch me show you how to make green juice and feel motivated. And then, take it one step further.

Formulate a plan.

It’s like when political campaigns call to ask for your vote and won’t hang up until you’ve told them:

  • When you’ll go vote
  • Where you’re voting
  • How you’ll get there

You must be specific.

Because if you are, the chances of you actually following through triples.

So if you want to adopt a smoothie habit, write down the following:

For the next [DURATION], I’ll make [RECIPE] on [DAY] at [TIME] in my [BLENDER].

Example: For the next 90 days, I’ll make Everyday Green Juice on weekdays at 7am in my Nutribullet (unless there’s already some from the giant batch I made yesterday, in which case, I’ve won the day twice over).

Make sense?

3) 2018 Book Update

The Perfect Mix book by Shalva and Lenny Gale.Per your feedback, we’ve made several changes to our book for people considering “taking the plunge.” The book now features:

  • 50 recipes
  • One-week meal plan
  • Transformation stories from the authors (that’s us)

Price is now $4.99 (because it’s now double the size and well worth the price of admission).

The new version is almost ready and when it is, you’ll get an email (assuming you’re on the list) with a special link to “buy” it for $0.00.

(It’s ebook-only and looks great on any mobile or tablet with the free Amazon Kindle app.)

Okay, all for now.

As always, we appreciate for your support in helping us spread the plant-based love. ?

Thanks,
Lenny (and Shalva, Baby Ezra, and Lucy the Wonderdog)

    I am having the same problem as Deb in that Amazon says that I already own the book. Thanks for your help!

    first, congrats on Ezra! I’m truly happy for you and your family!

    Secondly, I cannot seem to download the book. It won’t let me buy it, because it states I purchased it back in april but it won’t update to the new version when I try to read it online or on my tablet.

    I tried a bunch of things, but nothing seems to trigger an update to the new version. I see the old book cover, but it’s so strange, the little tiny icon on the bottom of the “all items” screen displays the new cover. I don’t know if it’s me or Amazon, or maybe it takes time for the book to be available for update?

    anyway, maybe you can give me a tip on what to do? THANKS!
