Blendfresh in Spanish
I speak Italian, but not too much Spanish. So when I set up my blog I didn't think I'd need materials in Spanish, but I should have seen the bigger picture! I'm posting here a Blendfresh document about the foods and the new Consultant income opportunity through Blendtec so it can be easy to read in either language. Enjoy and buenos dias!

Blendfresh Plant Protein Powder
Blendfresh 8 Whole Food Plants Protein Powder
We all know we need protein daily. It becomes your muscle, your skin, your hair, your fingernails. Getting enough protein daily is important for health, but especially vital when you are transitioning to a healthier state like dieting or building more muscle as you become more fit through exercise.
Here's what you need to know. Protein is needed to increase lean muscle. It assists in muscle repair and rebuild. It minimizes muscle loss and fatigue during physical activity. Your body demands protein and if you don't take in enough, it will begin to break down your own muscle mass for it's own needs! Since muscle burns more calories than fat, we all want to be more lean these days. Protein also has fewer calories which is a bonus. So protein should be a big focus for anyone seeking transformation to a healthier body.
I really like this Blendfresh Protein Powder for several reasons. I find as a fitness coach that if you are a meat eater and go on a diet or restricted plan (like Paleo, Atkins, low carb, 17 day diet, etc) the focus becomes eating a large percentage of calories from protein and the most common sources are chicken, turkey, fish, and dairy. These are all heavy to digest and can constipate if not enough fiber is taken in. A great solution is to get part of your protein from plant sources that come naturally with the fiber from nature. This also gives variety to the diet and additional nutrients that would have been missed.
This source of proteins provides a diverse blend of eight seeds, legumes, beans and whole grains, yet is gluten free, soy free and dairy free. So if you have tried whey protein powders in the past and they have upset your stomach, this may be a better choice for you. My husband is a very dramatic testimonial of that. He is lactose intolerant, and suffers symptoms like IBS if he has dairy, but is able to enjoy Blendfresh Protein daily without getting an upset stomach or gassy. So if you have allergy to soy, gluten, milk, casien, whey or any dairy this is a good source of easy protein. The last two ingredients are plant enzymes to aid in digestion.
The proteins in plants are different from the proteins in meat, and in this product there are enough sources together to make a complete protein from an amino acid standpoint. If you are vegetarian or vegan this is a natural choice. It can be used both in smoothies and recipes, like on oatmeal, in energy bars or snack balls, and baked goods like muffins, pancakes, and cakes as well as almond milks and healthy hot chocolate.
How much protein do you need? The general recommendation to develop lean muscle is to aim for 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you are very active and lead a lifestyle that's physically demanding, it may be to your advantage to increase this amount to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight per day.For example, if I weight 130 pounds, my protein intake should be 104-195 grams each day, depending on my activity level.
Currently Blendfresh only offers a Vanilla flavor that has a slightly sweet taste from honey, a healthy sweetener. It's very creamy and perfect as a post-workout shake, breakfast smoothie that will keep you full, or even to add protein to your other recipes like home made energy bars.
All plants in this blend are of the highest quality. Pesticide free, non-GMO, and clean. One scoop provides 20 grams of plant protein. And best of all is the taste! I have tried MANY vegan protein powders and it is very hard to find one that I look forward to drinking instead of dreading. This I enjoyed from the first sip! And I'm hearing from many people who use this as part of a meal replacement smoothie that it keeps you full for hours, 3 or 4 or 5. I've experienced this too and I've been surprised at the lack of hunger and cravings. I can only attribute it to the good nutrition and regulated blood sugars that come with the Blendfresh lifestyle, including the Protein.
You can blend it in a blender bottle with some almond milk or even water to keep it simple, but the best way I like to use it is making a 180º Smoothie which is blended with frozen fruit and Blendfresh Colors and Probiotic. Yummy!
The official list of ingredients is: Protein Blend (Pea Protein, Rice Protein, Potato Protein, Quinoa, Black Bean, Flaxseed, Alfalfa Juice, Spinach), Honey, Oat Bran, Agave Inulin (which is just fiber), Natural Flavors, Guar Gum (from Guar Beans), Stevia Leaf Extract, Citric Acid (from Beets), Xanthan gum, Tara Gum (from Tara pods), Orange Fiber, Papain (from Papaya), Bromelain (from Pineapple).
On a side note, Blendfresh Protein provides selenium, a critical nutrient for the production of thyroid hormones and proper metabolism. It is found that individuals with higher levels of selenium exhibit more strength, making more of your workouts. So add Blendfresh plant protein to your regimen and enjoy the benefits of a more plant based diet!

Blendfresh Orange
What is Blendfresh Orange?
Wouldn't it be great to get the health benefits of 12 different fruits and vegetables without having to plan, shop, wash, chop and cook? What about specifically orange fruits and veggies that boost the immune system, give you energy, help you see better, prevent heart disease and cancer and wouldn't spoil in your fridge? If that sounds good you'll like Blendfresh Orange!
What is it? It's a dozen raw, orange fruits and vegetables "Fresh Dried" at low temperatures to preserve enzymes and nutrients, and then made into a whole food powder. Specifically; Organic Carrot Juice, Organic Sweet Potato, Organic Pumpkin, Butternut Squash, Banana, Organic Mango, Pineapple, Organic Acerola, Apricot, Peach, Yellow Bell Peppers, Organic Lemon Juice, Orange Juice (straight off the label).
Yes, we know that they're "good for us", but what does it really matter? Is is worth the effort to really put it into our body? Let's break down what each of them does for us -
Yellow Bell Peppers - an incredibly high amount of vitamin C, they contain 500% of a day's worth (4 times as much as an orange). In addition they are a great source of vitamins A and E, B6 and folate. These boost the immune system and can reduce the risk of gout and gout related complications.
Butternut Squash - very high in vitamin A which protects eye function and helps maintain healthy skin and mucus membranes, and new research suggests it can help prevent lung and oral cavity cancer. It's also high in vitamin C, vitamin E and B6 as well as folate, thiamine and riboflavin.
Pumpkin - also high in vitamins C and A, and zea-xanthin, a natural anti-oxidant that filters harmful UV radiation from the retina, helping prevent age related macular disease (ARMD).
Sweet Potato - the highest for any root vegetable in beta carotene, a powerful natural anti-oxidant. It also contains essential vitamins that are co-factors for enzymes during metabolism that the body must obtain from an outside source.
Carrot - food source vitamin A can help protect from skin cancers, help with reproductive health, and its vitamin C helps support healthy teeth and gums. Carrots may seem like old news, but they also have falcarinol which may destroy pre-cancerous cells in tumors.
Banana - provide instant energy, high in vitamin B6 which helps neuritis and anemia and helps decrease homocystine, a causative factor in coronary heart disease and stroke. It also has magnesium for bone strength and copper required for red blood cell production, as well as potassium that helps control blood pressure by countering the effects of sodium.
Mango - according to new research study, "mango fruit has been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia, and prostate cancers"! Also high in vitamins A, C, B6 and copper.
Pineapple - contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down protein and has anti-clotting (heart disease) and anti-cancer properties. Regular consumption helps prevent arthritis, indigestion (enzymes), and parasites. It's high in vitamin C which is required for collagen synthesis to maintain healthy blood vessels, organs, and beautiful skin.
Acerola - this cherry from the Caribbean has the highest vitamin C of any plant, about 1864% of rda! This vitamin C combined with the other phytochemicals in the fruit help rid the body of free radicals protecting the body from aging, degenerative disease, inflammation and infections. Studies also suggest that their chlorogenic acid may help lower and control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients.
Apricot - also high in vitamins A, C, carotenes, anti-oxidants and heart healthy potassium to help regulate heart rate and blood pressure.
Peach - the simple peach is also full of the same family of nutrients found in the other orange fruits and vegetables, and also contains iron and small, natural amounts of fluoride to help prevent cavities in teeth.
Lemon - contains the natural preservative citric acid which aids in digestion and helps dissolve kidney stones. It has special phytonutrients that can reduce anti-oxidant injury to DNA, contains B complex vitamins, and a healthy amount of iron and calcium, as well as high vitamin C, potassium and the other similar nutrients we find in Orange produce.
Orange - contains pectin which helps protect the colon from toxic substances and reduce blood cholesterol, has phytochemicals that act as immune system modulators, is also high in vitamins A, C, B complex, potassium and calcium, and helps cut the risk for some diseases like cancers, arthritis, obesity, and coronary heart disease.
Blendfresh Orange is a sweet and tangy combination that provides phytonutrients like gallic acid, gallotannins, mangiferine, syringic acid, phytoene, peonidine, phenoalalic acid and many more. English please? Eat these and you'll feel better and be healthier.
Would an antioxidant supplement do just as well? Not according to nutrition.answers.com where they say
"There are supplements of these complements available. However, they may or may not provide any actual health benefit. While eating lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is highly beneficial, and the substances they contain are widely thought to improve health, these benefits usually don't translate to supplements. Two schools of thought are that the body only absorbs these compounds through food sources, and that different compounds work together to provide the benefits. Eat lots of fruit and whole grains in order to get more phenolic acids in your diet."
Do you see the advantage to eating a dozen, symbiotic plants together? Packing all that concentrated nutrition into a daily, easy to add scoop! What if you could put it in your smoothies, sauces, recipes or even in warm water and drink like a tea (one of my favorite ways!). We want ALL the benefits of good nutrition, and the only thing stopping most of us is that we don't have time to prep it and we don't know how to make it a regular part of our diet. Blendfresh solves this! Why wait one more day to start getting all the disease fighting, energy giving, eye sight protecting, age preserving benefits of these whole foods the easy way? If you are ready to start now...

Nutrition Plan
As you begin the Blendfresh 90 Challenge, for the first 10 days you will follow the 180 Cleanse plan by drinking 2 smoothies per day, using the 180 Smoothie Recipe as a guide. You can use just one Blendfresh Fruit & Vegetable powder in each smoothie, or mix them up as you like. These smoothies can be taken whenever it’s most convenient for you, and should replace two meals per day.
Other than two smoothies, you should consume 2-3 small sensible meals or snacks per day. These meals should be approximately 2.5-3.0 hours apart, and no more than 4 hours apart. The Blendfresh 15 Whole Food Fibers should also be incorporated by mixing into smoothies, or taken nightly before bed mixed with water or juice.
Other meals and snacks during the 180 Degree cleanse should be based on whole, clean food such as: fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, lean protein, and healthy fats. 90% of nutritional intake from clean food and fast-foods, processed, packaged, sugary, etc. restricted to 10% or less. Please remember that this time period is meant to be a 180 degree turn away from the typical lifestyle and is a great way to jump start your lifestyle and body transformation! To assist you with your goal, try to cleanse your home and workplace of all processed food, junk food, soda, alcohol, and other tempting food items that will keep you from reaching your goal.
For the remaining 20 days of the month, simply consume 1 smoothie per day, as well as 3-4 small sensible meals or snacks. During this phase, 80% of food intake should be fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and healthy fats. About 20% from whole-grain carbohydrates, lean protein, and some less-ideal foods may be included.
Recommended caloric intake per day for women: approximately 1,500 calories, men: 2,200 calories. Please refer to sample meal plans to see recommended portion sizes and breakdown of caloric intake during the day, using healthy fats, carbohydrates, and protein in proper amounts.

Roasted Root Vegetables and Garbanzo Beans - easy version
I promise this is WAY easier and WAY tastier than you think!
Roasted Root Vegetables and Garbanzo Beans
10 carrots, peeled and cut into about 1 inch pieces
10 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 red onion, cut to chunks
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
olive oil to preference (about 1/2 C)
Italian seasonings spice blend (about 2 tsp)
Sea salt to taste (1-2 tsp)
Super simple. Just throw the ingredients into a large bowl and toss to coat with the oil and seasonings. Pour onto a sprayed sheet pan and bake at 400º for an hour, turning every 20 minutes. You can bake more or less for your favorite texture. I turned on the convection fan when I turned it the first time, so had convection running for 40 minutes. The serve steaming hot!
Before
So pretty!
I kept picking at this, snitching tastes before we sat down. Vegetarians and meat eaters at my table both finished their plates without argument. This was my answer to the traditional pot roast dinner as I'm focusing on making more meatless meals. I've heard of roasting garbanzo beans (otherwise known as chic peas). Potatoes have protein, but to add more I threw the garbanzos in and it's a delicious win! And so simple that my kids can easily make it.
I did not add Blendfresh to this recipe since I had already had a huge smoothie earlier in the day, but it would be very easy to sprinkle on Green right as it came out of the oven, or Orange if you were doing just a pan of roasted carrots. Blendfresh adds such good flavor (and nutrition), but this time I was more focused on making sure this passed for a new comfort food recipe than experimenting.
As a bonus, I felt like a total 1960's home-maker as I peeled potatoes and carrots. Good old-fashioned workin' in the kitchen. It made me realize how long it's been since I actually did that simple task. Plan for half an hour of peeling and chopping, and just enjoy the process. If you finish early then celebrate.
While I was at it, I ate a big, long carrot once I peeled it. I totally felt like a kid again. Baby carrots just cannot take the place of a ten inch crunchy snack! Long live old school nutrition!

The Blendfresh Business Opportunity from Blendtec
It is said the first half of your life you try to make a living,
and the second half of your life you try to make a difference.
Why not do both right now?
Blendfresh by Blendtec is the first business opportunity ever to be centered around healthy, clean eating and real, raw, whole foods. Combine a consumable product like groceries bought every day, with an internationally known, long lasting brand like Blendtec and you have the ULTIMATE OPPORTUNITY! Right now you can position yourself perfectly for success by becoming one of the first consultants in the "pre-launch" phase of this amazing opportunity!
(Click to get started)
Tell me more...
Blendtec is the maker of the most advanced blenders in the world. They have just spun off a new sister company called Blendfresh, with the beginning pre-launch phase in July of 2014. Blendfresh features a line of raw, whole food powders that are pesticide free, non-GMO, organic, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and cheaper than fresh produce. Wow!
Health is trending right now. Combine a high demand, consumable product (food), with huge savings on the best kitchen appliance that exists (Blendtec blenders), and you get a total win. As soon as I heard about this program I said "I'm in! Now give me the details".
Here's how it works. Most people already know they need to improve their diet. The proof is everywhere. They don't do it because changing your diet for the better is hard. BLENDFRESH IS THE EASIEST WAY TO EAT HEALTHY EVERY DAY.
Blendfresh takes raw fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds and sprouts, and they "Fresh Dry" them at low temperatures to preserve nutrition and enzymes. Entire clean crops are used (benefiting organic farmers) and the produce is made into a whole food pulp where only seeds and stems are removed.
Next they make the pulp into a powder that can be added to any meal or smoothie. The process uses light instead of heat to protect fragile nutrients. We are only just discovering all the fun ways to use it! Not just for nutrition, but chefs and caterers are looking at Blendfresh as an easy way to add enhanced flavor to their recipes. As a consultant you will receive commission on every bottle sold.
Once people understand the amazing value of Blendfresh foods, you have a unique chance to offer them a huge savings on a Blendtec blender. Customers can save up to $900 off retail prices! (depending on the model purchased). Blendfresh pays weekly commissions on blenders and Blendfresh foods. Customers qualify for this savings based on subscribing to Blendfresh foods for one year. People buying blenders will naturally also buy produce , so why not help them get the best produce at a savings? And secure a loyal customer for yourself for a year in the process. Click here to see how this works.
Up front commissions are just the first way to earn with Blendfresh. Because health is such a personal subject, Blendtec felt the best way to teach people to change their dietary habits was to connect on a personal level. As consultants we really do consult with those in our circle to help them making lasting healthy changes, sharing recipes and supporting in groups and challenges.
As people get healthy, the word spreads and the most lucrative part of the Blendfresh opportunity comes from building a team of people carrying forward the mission of improved health, worldwide. The chart below showcases the bonuses that stack up beyond commissions to give you a sizable income.
Compared to other compensation plans, this is amazing! 25% commissions on the first order, then 5% on every level 7 levels deep, and then bigger bonuses kick in. There are bonuses for keeping your customers active, bonuses for rank advancement, and bonuses to reward you for maintaining your rank so that your own Blendfresh is paid for by the company after just three months on one of the first levels (Trainer)! This would be good by itself, but this is the only opportunity where you can build a large product flow quickly because your customers continue purchasing for a year. They get a great value on a piece of hardware like Blendtec, and that let's your business grow quickly on subscription orders because you are not having to replace lost customers. Take a look.
If you like the idea of Blendfresh, and would like to save money on the product, but don't wish to share as a consultant right now, just sign up as a Blendfresh Club member instead. You get the same product prices as a consultant and pay just a $10 lifetime fee to be a member, no monthly product purchase commitment.
My team at the Blendfresh 2014 Summit one month after I signed up - I'm far left)
Why join my team?
1. Connection. A wonderful thing about this opportunity is how new it is. So far there are only a handful of power hitters who can see the vision of where this opportunity is going. I am one of them. I live within 20 miles of the Blendtec factory and often teach evening classes in their kitchen. All the Blendfresh vice-presidents know me by name and we have each other's personal cell numbers. When there is something new coming out, I am one of the first to know about it. As the company grows, I have been invited to strategic meetings to help shape policy. I am your connection.
2. Leadership. My background is wellness and marketing. I have been teaching fitness classes (Zumba, Insanity, PiYo pilates yoga fusion, AFAA certified group exercise instructor, UVU continuing ed) for years. Nutrition has been my hobby for about 20 years, and I embraced the raw and vegetarian lifestyles, learned about them and incorporated them into my family life (I consider myself flexitarian now). This background gives me a lot of information on how to present the products themselves and help combat dietary and habit obstacles people face, as well as being able to better help my students through diet.
I started and ran the Costco Wholesale wellness program for over 300 employees, started my own essential oils bath and body company, complete with warehouse and nationwide customers and did all the marketing there. I did marketing for two other companies and achieved Diamond rank twice as a Beachbody Coach, earning their company trips and perks. I know fitness and nutrition, I know marketing, I know leadership. And I've broken this Blendfresh business down into bite sized chunks so you can know exactly what to do that will help your business grow the fastest. My team is rank advancing each month and it's exciting and fun to be a part of it!
Marketing. While there are a few emerging leaders, most use the home party method. I am a mother of four and the time I take to my business is precious, so I want it to be as efficient as possible. While I am familiar and capable with home parties and expos, my preferred method of growing my Blendfresh business is marketing online. It doesn't have to be expensive, and is what I teach my team. I feel it's the best way to leverage our time. People everywhere are on their phone, so that's where I want to be! I would love to include you as part of our team and show you how you can make your own dreams come into your life through increased health, income, and making a difference for others.
If you have additional questions please email me at jenn@coachjenngibbs.com . I can't wait to meet you and see how exciting it will be to work with you! Together we can make a lifelong impact for ourselves, our families, and for those we can influence. See you soon!

High Protein Hot Chocolate
High Protein Hot Chocolate
1 C hot water (you can measure in your blender jar)
1 C Blendfresh Protein Powder (raw, vegan, plant based)
1 Tbsp cacao powder (I use raw for nutrients)
1 tsp agave syrup
1 Tbsp raw coconut oil (superfood!)
1 tsp clean chocolate chips (optional - I like Kirkland brand from Costco, also vegan)
Add all ingredients to your blender jar and use blend for 90 seconds once or twice, depending on how hot your like your drink. The Blendtec blender blade will spin so fast that the friction will heat your hot chocolate. If this is made without chocolate chips, it is actually a guilt free, healthy drink - a fun way to get your protein in the winter!
Be sure to add the coconut oil if at all possible. It makes the drink very creamy and delicious, and it's such an important and good oil for weight loss that bikini competition trainers recommend it by the spoonful in the last days leading up to a show. You will love getting your healthy fats this way!
As an aside, I'm giving you my kitchen notes from creating the recipe. Yes, I experiment a lot. Don't worry, I only post the ones that turn out great! Feel free to experiment yourself. That's the only way you'll discover your new favorite healthy things. Take your own notes as you go, and please comment or contact me as you find your own fun recipes!
Love, Coach Jenn
