Healthy Drinks - Anna Ottosson
INTRODUCTION
INDULGE IN GREAT HEALTH
– with no rules
I live. I love. I laugh. And I eat. I think there’s nothing more beautiful than a person who feels good in his or her own body. And I’m not talking about pounds and wrinkles. For me, life and healthy food mean possibilities, pleasure, and heading toward a place of radiant energy and an abundance of joy. It’s about treating and giving ourselves the best of the best, and doing the best we can. That’s why I love healthy drinks: they’re such a simple yet liberating way to drink yourself to health. Prep time takes only a few minutes, yet they make a huge difference to your well-being, to how you feel, and to your energy level (you’ll shine like a thousand suns!). Also, they taste crazy good.
Super smoothies provide you with amazing daily energy. Juice shots are your best friends come flu season. Refreshing lemonades, juices, and slushies—they’re all totally sugar-free. Warm broths feel like great big hugs, especially when you need them the most. Or a wonderfully healthy hot chocolate, made with real chocolate, can make you believe you’re gazing deep into Johnny Depp’s eyes in the movie Chocolat.
I grew up in a family of hard-core exercisers. Running thirty to thirty-five miles a week and putting in a three-hour road session on Sundays was part of my life. It just wasn’t worth lacing up your sneakers for anything less than six miles. From these beginnings blossomed a keen interest in how what we eat can affect athletic performance. As a young girl, I stayed in my room slurping up every book on nutrition I could find, long before the current health craze hit. At sixteen, I realized this was my destiny, which defined my academic path during my four years at university and ultimately my career. This would be my Dharma—my life’s purpose.
But that’s not the whole truth. There’s another story, one about confronting death head on and the fear of loss. The school of hard knocks has shaped me to the core and defined what I believe in. As a kid, I would visit my mother after her radiation treatment and be utterly convinced that she would not survive to see my eighteenth birthday. I have had close encounters with cancer all my life. Friends have become angels. Life is a roller-coaster ride, filled with exhilarating experiences, along with a few seriously nasty bumps. These two parallel journeys have led up to this point in my life and what I’m all about today: working in the world of food and health. It’s also one of the reasons why I founded Foodpowers, a rehabilitation program for cancer survivors.
It’s important for me to seize the day. I like to let my hair down and let myself go, to dance on the table like there’s no tomorrow. I am fully and totally dedicated to working with food, health, and all the amazing ways there are to live healthily.
For me, these healthy drinks have been totally groundbreaking; in our home, drinking them is second nature. It’s an easy way for the kids to get the nutrients they need, even if they pick at their dinner.
Stop dieting. Quit the rules. There is nothing you must do. We’re pressured into counting calories till we’re blue in the face, or we’re dieting our precious lives away. I believe that life is too short to be on a diet. It’s a bit like walking around in too-tight shoes: they’re just never going to fit you and your life. So instead of zeroing in on what you can’t eat, focus on all the other options that are out there, the many tasty possibilities you can enjoy that will bless you with a radiant, vibrant energy to live the life you long for. Drink yourself healthy. Add one healthy drink to your day—it’ll take you so far. The quickest recipe in this book can be prepared in a minute—just like brushing your teeth. Let’s blend together!
