How to Make a Smoothie
Why I Love Smoothies!

How to make a smoothie? is one of the biggest questions that I get, when people find out that I worked at a smoothie bar. After handing out reams of fruit smoothie recipes and teaching green smoothie health classes, I finally decided a website is needed to direct my friends and family to get more information on how to make a smoothie.

Hi! My name is DaNae Johnson. I live in the frozen tundra of Northern Minnesota. And yes, even during a blizzard, I love making healthy smoothie recipes! I am focused on enhancing the health of anyone thirsting for knowledge by providing the necessary knowledge and tools.

I grew up in a typical American home with the cupboards fully stocked with Mac & Cheese and Lucky Charms. My mother did what she could to feed my brother and me a healthy diet. But we were offered all of the processed and stimulating foods.

How can a child choose fruits and veggies over the addictive processed foods that are heavily promoted in our society? My family constantly went out to eat drinking sugary sodas and eating the deep-fat fried french fries. It would've helped to know how to make a smoothie back then.

My Family’s Turning Point

Eventually, that diet and environmental issues wore down my family’s bodies. So much that we were diagnosed with Lung Cancer when I was seven years old. There we are...

My mother, my brother, and myself with lung cancer. My mom had only 5% chance to live for 2 years with chemo and radiation. And we had never smoked a single cigarette.

But through it all Mom stayed strong. She continued to homeschool my brother and me. But she never complained.

Due to previous health issues, she couldn’t do any surgery. So she explored what alternative health could provide. That important turning point in our health was over 17 years ago. I am truly grateful. My mom got to be at my graduation, my wedding, my 2 children’s births. She has more energy now in her 50’s than she did in her 20-30’s.

How My Passion Grew

When I was in high school, my mom and I would attend health classes. I knew what natural cures had done for my family. I wanted to show others how they can change their path at which their health is heading.

I am now a Master Herbalist. I teach health classes around Northern Minnesota. I am not going to pretend that I know everything there is to know about health. I am continually amazed at the variety of ways someone could improve their life.

I have discovered that smoothies are one of those great ways. While showing people how to make a smoothie properly, I have noticed that healthy smoothie recipes can easily incorporate nutrition into our diet. You can use all the natural therapies on your body, but having a nutrient dense diet is the key to vibrant health.

I desire for others to absorb accurate information on how to take care of their bodies so that they can truly live to their potential. If we are constantly sick and tending to ourselves, how can we pour our lives into our family and friends? So please, join me on this journey to Radiant Living.
