It’s getting warm outside, and it won’t be long before you’re craving something frozen and fruity. Don’t worry help is here, at GreenStop we carry a frozen treat that tastes great and that you can feel good about eating. Fruti Bars are 100% natural and are certified Kosher. 

They are a great little snack for those warm days and they come in great flavors with chunks of real fruit in them. My favourite is Banana and Coconut (arriving in-store next week and I know you'll love it!) but, there are a variety of flavors for you to choose from - Strawberry, Coconut, Lime, Pineapple, Mango, Lemon and Raspberry.  There is also a selection of chocolate dips - Strawberry, Coconut, and Plain Chocolate Yogurt.  If you still haven’t found a favourite – try one of the creamy bars - Strawberry, Coconut, Strawberry Banana or Banana.

I was reading an article for Dr. Terry Grossman about how to achieve Optimal Health and extend you lifespan. I thought it would be an interesting topic to share with all of you.

As the doctor meets so many people who feel that their longevity is out of their hands—that, as a result of their genetic heritage, each of us is dealt a hand at birth that determines how healthy we will be and how long we will live. And though they know they can exercise and do their best to choose nutritious foods, it still seems like the possibility of living to 100 or beyond is just for those rare people with the right genes.

But thanks to recent breakthroughs in medical science, we now know that there are proven techniques we can use today to live longer, healthier lives. And Dr. Grossman sees the proof every day—not only in the patients he treats, but also in himself.

The secret is known as the TRANSCEND Program:

• T alk with Your Doctor
• R elax
• A ssess
• N utrition
• S upplement
• C alorie Reduction
• E xercise
• N ew Technologies
• D etox

Now that the hot is weather is here and we are entering berry season, I thought I would share a great recipe for a Berry Smoothie.   

In the blender mix the following:

2 scoops raspberry sherbet

4 strawberries

15 blueberries

5 blackberries

Cover it all with a good quality orange juice and blend.  You can always add a bit more sherbet if you like it thicker.  This is a simple,  delicious, healthy recipe – perfect for summertime. 

Enjoy, Catherine

The Trees, Reforestation and Environmental Enhancement (TREE) Program has been in operation in the City of Ottawa since 2007.  The goal of the program is to plant 100,000 trees by the end of 2010. The TREE program lets Ottawa residents, businesses, schools and community groups receive a FREE tree and plant it on their property.

The trees are delivered right to your doorstep and are ready to be planted.

This is the last year of the program and the City of Ottawa is now accepting reservations for fall TREE delivery. It's on a first come first served basis, so if you want your free tree, hurry and register now!
