We have announced the green smoothie Winner!

Jolene Harmon

Thank you for all those who participated in the Green Smoothie Contest.  It was a lot of fun for everyone, especially everyone over here in the Raw Food Magazine Office.  I don’t think any of us have had that many green smoothies in a week.

It was a hard decision especially because there were so many tasty and nutritious smoothies submitted.  We said promise that we would announce a winner and so we all threw our votes into a box and Jolene Harmon came out the winner.

Here’s the basic recipe for Jolene’s Green Smoothie, if you would like to make it yourself.
