Get Healthy with the ‘Love Your Greens’ Challenge
Desi Ward was a Mormon student who grabbed whatever was handy whenever she was hungry. Until she got sick in 2003. Her journey has not only brought her to good health, but has made her a successful blogger, cook, and sponsor of The Mom Conference, completely held online, and coming this fall. The 2014 conference was a huge success, spotlighting the Bloggernacle’s most successful bloggers.
Desi explains what started her on the road to good health:

A returned missionary who served in Guatemala, and then a wife (she met her husband 3 weeks after she got home from her mission) and mom, Desi took her whole foods journey to its natural conclusion by becoming a fantastic cook and helping others to enjoy a healthy, yet delicious, diet and lifestyle. Her initial desire was to shorten the learning curve for those who want to start eating right and feeling better. Desi is passionate about motherhood, and she limits her time blogging to 4 hours per week, so she can devote herself to her family. She and her husband Scott have three children — Isaiah, 6; Skye, 4; and Cooper, 6 months.
Her website, Unconventional Kitchen.com, provides a healthy eating plan, recipes, holiday ideas, and pure inspiration. On Monday, May 11, 2015, her Love Your Greens green smoothie challenge begins. This is your chance to clean out all the nasties that are making you sick and get healthy and radiant for summer and then the rest of your life. Just go to the site and sign up, grab your blender and veggies, and begin life anew.
Says Desi,
[quote_box_center]Looking back having gone through all of this, getting sick is one of the greatest gifts that I have been given. I have learned how to nourish my family and myself, eating real food. I have had the opportunity to share my passion with others, by teaching cooking classes, doing contract work with recipe development, and even co authoring a cookbook with Green Smoothie Girl. It has been an incredible journey, and one that I would love to continue sharing with others.[/quote_box_center]
