Episode 86: Dietitian and Author Frances Largeman-Roth on the Best Smoothies for Wellness

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode I’m chatting with fellow dietitian,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Frances Largeman-Roth</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, RD, who is a best selling author, and former magazine editor. Her latest book titled</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Smoothies & Juices: Prevention Healing Kitchen</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is filled with 100 beautiful and delicious smoothie recipes, and is also rich in great health information for optimal wellness. I simply love it!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>I really enjoyed my chat with Frances and learned so much, but here are some of my favorite takeaways:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Smoothies are an easy way to nourish your body with a delicious and nutritious combination of foods.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Smoothies are super versatile, so feel free to experiment with them. When creating your smoothie, keep in mind that a combination of fruit and/or veggies and healthy fats and proteins is important.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to have more than a liquid smoothie food experience, make a smoothie bowl -- it’ll feel more like a meal and open up a number of unexpected flavor combinations.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being passionate about a project you’re taking on is key to your success.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Healthy living is doing what feels right for you on any particular day, and listening to your body and what it needs. </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Want to connect with Frances and learn more about the work she does?
