Happy Holidays!!
Written by admin on December 28, 2009 – -Welcome back green smoothie goers! We hope you had a splendid holiday with friends and loved ones. As you get ready to celebrate the New Year, we’d like to share a very special poem from one of our green smoothie program participants!
A Thank You From Mrs. Claus
- by Rena Reason
T’was Christmas day and the North Pole was humming
With laughter and song and dancing and drumming,
The elves were gleefully at play in the snow,
And the reindeer were frolicking to and fro.
Since Santa had traveled the world far and wide,
He settled in his rocker, a bit sleepy eyed,
But thanks to Green Smoothie Queen, I hurried to the kitchen,
Got out my blender and knew what to mix in,
Then handed Santa a green jug and said “Sip on this!
It’s full of flavor, nutrition, and bliss!”
Said Santa, “It’s sweet like candy cane, and as green as a Christmas tree!
It’s bliss to my lips, yummy to my tummy, and gives me great energy!
This beverage gives such leverage, Ho, Ho, Ho, I feel so alive!
I could sing out Christmas jingles and dance the Jive!”
These groovy Green Smoothies are quite a sensation,
Let’s get the word out all over the nation,
Milk and baked cookies are things of the past,
Green Smoothies are the real elixir at last!
Thank you your Majesty, Green Smoothie Queen,
for showing me how to blend fruits and greens!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good year,
Let’s drink to our Health with Green Smoothies and Cheers!

Dear Raw Divas and the Green Smoothie Queen:
That poem was really a piece of high art in my opinion as it certainly put a big smile on MY face as it doubtlessly did to dozens of your readers. When an original creation such as this can move so many to take positive action, well that surely is the definition of poetry!!
Since it has been my great pleasure to have known and loved this beautiful lady for over five years now I feel I can say that you will not find a more fertile mind and enthusiastic supporter of a healthy lifestyle than Rena Reason. She may not have mentioned her teaching background in which she has successfully demonstrated an innate capacity to share her sense of life by nurturing the good in her students. To know her is definitely to love her.
Sincerely, Grant Reason
