My favorite ways to use Blendfresh!
I have loved plants for nutrition for many years. The idea just sits right with me. The One who made our amazing bodies also made the perfect fuel for them, and in pretty colors as a bonus! Each color does something different in the body.
When I found Blendfresh, it was a sigh of relief. Clean, pesticide free, non-GMO, raw, whole, good foods, preserved gently by removing the water so they can be picked when they are ripe, and they won't spoil before I can use them. Plus I love to save money!
I want to help as many people enjoy great health as possible, so once you have your own Blendfresh, how do you actually USE it in real life? Here are some suggestions for my favorite ways. I'm sure I'll discover more as I go!

Caring for your Blendfresh
It's best to refrigerate these items. All are raw and nutrients will be best preserved in low temperatures. It is recommended to use the bottle within 90 days of opening. There are no fillers or preservatives, so once oxygen enters the container, fragile nutrients can begin to deteriorate. If unopened, it is suggested to use within 3 years for optimal nutrition, but they are shelf stable for 20 years. Consider adding them to your home emergency storage.
