I follow Victoria Boutenko’s site rawfamily.com. She has a refreshing, down-to-earth approach to greens, raw food and nutrition. She’s passionate but not fanatic about what she does, what she knows and about sharing her knowledge.

I have been making green smoothies in the morning for several years, and on her recommendation, I bought a Vitamix blender. They last forever, but not everyone can afford it. In a recent newsletter, Feb 2012-Vol 4 she discusses the pros and cons of a variety of blenders. She’s worth following.
