Target Shoppers and Smoothie Lovers













A client sent me a message a few days ago asking about these pre-made smoothies located in the freezer section at Target. Here are the ingredients lists.  Notice the added sugars. (Fruit is already sweet enough by itself) The first smoothie also contains MSG. (It's listed as "modified food starch" on the label) Read about the dangers of MSG here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/04/21/msg-is-this-silent-killer-lurking-in-your-kitchen-cabinets.aspx

The healthiest option would be to make your own green smoothie at home! It only takes about 10 minutes in the morning.  Another idea if you are short on time is to make ahead freezer bags with chopped up fruit, greens, protein powder, etc. Just pull a bag out of the freezer, dump into your blender, add your liquid of choice, and blend until smooth!

Allergies- Oral Allergy Syndrome


Many people with seasonal allergies are affected by oral allergy syndrome, which can cause an itchy or prickling feeling in your mouth after eating certain foods. Essentially, the same immune reaction that occurs when we breathe in pollen can happen when we eat foods that mimic that pollen.  

The Fix: If you think you may have oral allergy syndrome, try avoiding the foods that can cross-react with your specific allergy. 

Birch: Kiwi, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, carrots, hazelnuts and almonds.

Grass: peaches, celery, tomatoes, melons and oranges.

Latex: bananas, avocado, kiwi and papaya

Ragweed: bananas, honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelons and tomatoes.

I also offer a blood allergy test called the ALCAT where you can test various foods, herbs, food additives, preservatives, pharmaceuticals, molds, and etc. Please contact me if you would like more info! 712.790.5883
