Smoothie Project: The 28-Day Plan to Feel Happy and Healthy No Matter Your Age

by Catherine McCord

Overview

“It is impossible to look at the rainbow of options in Smoothie Project without seeing health on every page. I am, as in all things WEELICIOUS, sold.” —Jennifer Garner

Let Catherine McCord, the trusted family food expert and Weelicious founder, serve up for you almost 100 transformative recipes for nourishing and delicious smoothies. She is an expert recipe developer who helps families eat healthfully and deliciously.

When her son started suffering from chronic nausea and her family doctors couldn’t help, McCord turned to her experience with nutrition for an answer, researching until she discovered a solution—smoothies. She shared her family’s story and some of her favorite smoothie recipes on social media, and the Smoothie Project, a daily online source of inspiration, was born.

People began to use her recipes and share how smoothies had become a force of change in their lives, too. Years of witnessing the positive effects that smoothies can offer inspired McCord to create a smoothie bible packed with almost 100 of her favorite tried-and-tested recipes.

With guidance from top nutritionists, McCord explains how to eat based on your age and details the health benefits of key smoothie ingredients, so you can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Lose weight
• Control ADHD symptoms
• Boost your immune system
• Improve digestion
• Increase your energy
• Eat to support pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Have beautiful, strong skin, hair, and nails
• Encourage kids to eat nutritious foods
• And more!

McCord offers a way to change your life in just twenty-eight days, using only your blender. All you have to do is commit to having one of her smoothies each morning for a month, and every glass will bring you one step closer to achieving your goals.
