Quotes to ponder:


"Blending is like pre-digesting your food, your blender becomes your second stomach."


"Some of the most nutrient-dense parts of fruits and vegetables are trapped in fibrous matrices that your teeth and gut can’t easily break down."


"When you blend, you increase the surface area of the food, allowing digestive enzymes to act more efficiently."
