The One Thing I Can't Start My MORNING Without

[@jcalexander5530]

I can watch this video every week. What a start to the day. 💕 Your family blessed so many.

[@joyoushealth]

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you XO

[@denisecampbell6736]

Having a bad day w/a Chronic Health Issue & badly needed a laugh. This did it!! Thanks & Vienna’s adorable!! 😊

[@joyoushealth]

Aw I'm happy this video could brighten your spirits today :) I hope you are feeling better soon!

[@cocohui1727]

Joyce and Vienna are awesome in this video😊

[@ptpink1983]

Love your videos and the way you handle Vienna. Real life right there for sure! Would this smoothie be enough for breakfast or would you recommend eating something else after?

[@joyoushealth]

Patty Castaneda sometimes yes and sometimes no! It really depends how much protein and fat I have in it. I just listen tinny body if I feel hungry still then I will eat :)

[@ptpink1983]

Thank you!

[@JuliaCaban]

I LOVE your hair! Could you please make a video how to grow such healthy and full hair? :)

[@joyoushealth]

Thank you very much! Yes I keep getting asked to do this kind of video but I haven't done it yet because it's nothing very exciting... maybe I will do it anyway and then you can see it's really to do with my diet :)

[@dianehutchinson9257]

That hair is either a genetic blessing or there are extensions in them. It's absolutely beautiful, but if your hair type isn't similar to hers to begin with, ain't no dietary changes that will magically make you have that hair. To claim otherwise is disingenuous.

[@beverlyh1436]

And your skin too!! Your skin is really nice and clear ☺️

[@pamelaware1449]

Great video. Thank you both xx

[@ingridmoreno8428]

Hello Joy, thank you for your great videos!! Could you please make a video on you current supplement s you take because I'm not clear on which Green+ to buy

[@juliequates9529]

She's. A doll......!!! Loved this video. Inspiring me to up my smoothie game.

[@joyoushealth]

Aw yay! Smoothies are amazing!

[@missgreece91]

woke up and saw your video and i couldnt stop smiling! Vienna is a superb entertainer and she's soo cute lol! now out of bed and time for smoothie

[@joyoushealth]

Daphnie Hanna thank you! Happy to make you smile when you wake up! 😊

[@rebeccavickery507]

She's adorable. I love how seamlessly you dealt with any interruptions by scooping her up. Haha.

[@asmanwer]

hi did you stop taking lemon water first thing in the morning

[@JustHereToHear]

Hey Joy.. Today is my third time starting my day with a smoothie. I love the idea of all the nutrients in a cup. Is it normal to have umm.. explosive poop after? Maybe my body is adjusting?

[@joyoushealth]

JustHereToHear if having a smoothie is a major change and increase in fiber from what you normally eat then it may be normal but it’s tough to say. Maybe best to speak with your healthcare practitioner 👍🏻Hope you’re enjoying the smoothies!

[@JustHereToHear]

@@joyoushealth thanks for replying Joy! I guess it's the overwhelm of fiber at one shot because if I have the same fruit and veggies in the course of the day, I don't have any issues.. So once my body accustoms it will be alright, right?

[@joyoushealth]

@@JustHereToHear Are you adding a greens powder or anything?

[@JustHereToHear]

@@joyoushealth Nope.. Just veggies like capsicum, a fruit, some leady green, maybe ginger

[@joyoushealth]

@@JustHereToHear That sounds delicious!

[@portiafatherree1173]

What a doll!!!!!! You guys are so cute her little smoothie cup is too much!!! I love it so sweet!!!!

[@joyoushealth]

Haha thank you :)

[@farhatamin1828]

Hi Joy, do you have any tips or suggestions on how to ensure you have enough milk supply if breastfeeding? Would love to hear from you. Any special foods? Thanks for the smoothie recipe

[@joyoushealth]

Hi! Yes I have a whole post about this and I have a yummy recipe for lactation cookies. I had a challenge with breastfeeding in the early day and producing enough milk. My midwife was threatening medication if things didn't pick up. They did and I didn't have to take medication thankfully. www.joyoushealth.com/24001-blog-best-ever-lactation-cookies

[@imbanditspal]

Very nice! Call the smoothie the "Cheery Vienna" smoothie

[@joyoushealth]

Haha that's adorable, I love it!

[@hilafu]

Thanks for the video, I also start each morning with Smoothy but now there are a lot of superfoods i can't add because of the pregnancy. What Super Food Is Pregnant Allowed?

[@joyoushealth]

I would recommend checking out this blog I wrote on the most important nutrients for a healthy pregnancy! There are loads of food recommendations in there: www.joyoushealth.com/23621-blog-important-nutrients-and-foods-for-a-healthy-pregnancy

I loved this video and about your day, but I also want to ask you What do you use to wash your hair? I am getting older I don't use anything (chemicals) in my hair I only wash, condition, and blow dry, (and I hate using conditioner, but it is so dry) and really can use your help Thank you for any help and again your video's

[@joyoushealth]

I actually get this question a lot, so I'm going to do a Facebook Live on it next week :) You can RSVP here and get a notification when I go live! facebook.com/joyoushealth.ca/videos/10155437467958817/

I luv your videos!!! Wish you upload everyday...

[@joyoushealth]

Aw thank you so much!

[@PineapplePonders]

What supplements do you take and what brand name are those supplements?

[@joyoushealth]

You can find most of the supplements I take here, mind you I'm not really nursing anymore so this has changed slightly. But typically, I use New Chapter and Genuine Health supplements: www.joyoushealth.com/26039-blog-supplements-for-nursing-what-i-am-taking

What resource do you use for you water? From you tap? Do you boil it? Do you buy it?

I have a reverse osmosis water filter installed in my home :)

[@patty-cf7jj]

I just listened to your podcast with The Healthy Maven. I suggest everyone go listen. I especially like what you said about exercise. Almost all my friends run/jog but I find it's too hard on my body. People will only stick to an exercise they like.

[@joyoushealth]

patty 8873 thank you for listening and it's so true, people will only do what they enjoy when it comes to exercise.

[@bethensing9588]

LOVE the video, I love making smoothies and am wondering if you think it's necessary to use the powdered protein and powdered veggie stuff? Isn't there a way to add protein naturally? Let me know your thoughts on this - currently I use greek yogurt in mine for protein, and sometimes almonds but maybe i need more..

[@jsclar7037]

I use hemp seeds, flax, and/or chia seeds when needing to up the protein of a smoothie.

[@cathyphegley7414]

People always look at my smoothies when I’m out and about and go 🤢 yuck-yep cuz I use pea protein and they’re always a shade of green! I love it!

[@lindamarie3893]

Awesome Vlog with the baby girl

[@helena2940]

Hi Joy! Would you recommended using steamed kale in my smoothie rather than raw? I was told by my naturopath that my thyroid is not in balance and I heard that raw kale is not good for that.. xx

[@joyoushealth]

That's true! In that case, it's recommended to cook them to remove the goitrogens or reduce your exposure to them altogether. Maybe even introduce a greens powder instead and use greens like celery, cucumber and romaine.

[@jeanettetreminio9653]

What multi vitamin do you use? I am allergic to most of them

[@joyoushealth]

Have you tried New Chapter? It's the one I recommend most because it's fermented, the ingredients are organic and whole foods based.

[@jeanettetreminio9653]

@@joyoushealth I haven’t which one do you recommend? there are different types I am 42 yrs old 115 pounds and 4’10 and also should I take half of the recommended amount since I am small?

[@jeanettetreminio9653]

@@joyoushealth thank you for responding by the way I love your channel!!😊

[@kg8063]

Is the greens plus ok for breastfeeding?

[@joyoushealth]

The Greens+ kids is but unfortunately they don't make it anymore. I would recommend the fermented organic gut superfoods+ instead: www.genuinehealth.com/en-ca/products/gut-health-superfoods/

[@hotmessblonde]

Could you please do a video on the supplements you take?

[@joyoushealth]

These are the supplements I'm currently taking but please note that I am still nursing so this isn't necessarily what I'd recommend for everyone: www.joyoushealth.com/26039-blog-supplements-for-nursing-what-i-am-taking

Thanks Allison!

[@vickidesjardins8556]

Hi joy! Can you tell me are the benefits of bone broth really that good or is it just what's popular at the moment. Thanks!

Nope, it's really that good for you! :) I've listed all of the benefits in this article here: www.joyoushealth.com/24260-blog-simple-chicken-bone-broth

Can you tell us what brand of supplements and vitamins you take? (Multi, Fish oil, Vit D, etc).

[@fitnessneeds]

And the potency.

[@joyoushealth]

For sure! I am nursing right now so just keep that in mind but you can find all of those details here: www.joyoushealth.com/26039-blog-supplements-for-nursing-what-i-am-taking

[@fitnessneeds]

Joyous Health Thank you. I ordered the fish oil. What's a good multi vitamin that (you) would take if you were not pregnant?

[@joyoushealth]

I like New Chapter's Wholemega :)

[@joyoushealth]

I would recommend New Chapter's Every Woman's One Daily Multivitamin

[@yorti006]

Whata the name of that vegan protein powder you use? And hows the flavor plz be honest im use to whey protein isolate cuz of muscle growth but due to my fibroids i want to change to vegan BUT im picky about flavor. If i don't lile it il just be wasting my money😞

[@joyoushealth]

It's Genuine Health's fermented vegan proteins+. I like all flavours but if you're picky about flavour, they have one that's unflavoured :) www.joyoushealth.com/2-jhapproved-genuine-health-fermented-organic-vegan-proteins

[@healthyeatingalways]

Vienna is too cute! Love this video. How young can kids have smoothies with protein powder? I'm so curious how early they could start on protein powder, greens plus or just a regular smoothie with superfoods in it.

[@joyoushealth]

I started giving Vienna a very small amount around 1 in smoothies but Genuine Health's customer service team would probably advise to wait until they are a teen because there's no research behind it. I see it as a whole food so I feel comfortable with giving Vienna that, but ultimately it's your call. I would recommend you discuss this with your natural health care practitioner before making any changes though :)

[@healthyeatingalways]

Thanks! I don't have kids myself, but have little niece and nephews and don't want to give them anything too early.

[@debbiegreen408]

Great video. Make more Please

[@joyoushealth]

Thank you! :) I will!

[@pollyanzini3229]

Would it be ok to give my kids (ages 13 months and 4 years) the greens+ in their daily smoothies if they are already taking a daily (kids) multivitamin? Thank you!!

[@joyoushealth]

Polly Anzini you definitely can but be sure that you buy "green+kids" because it doesn't have any of the herbs.

[@pollyanzini3229]

+Joyous Health I'm sorry, I meant to say greens+ kids. I'm wondering if taking that in addition to a kids multivitamin every day would be over-supplementing them. Thanks for your response!

[@Linds709]

Why can't the babies have the herbs?

[@joyoushealth]

They can be a bit too potent for babes and there's no way to know how they will react in their little bodies!

What are your thoughts on baby led weaning? Looks similar to our morning!

[@joyoushealth]

I tried BLW for a bit but I didn't really like it. I couldn't get passed the part with Vienna coughing on food and nearly choking. I did purees first, then made them chunkier and slowly more solid. I had no problem with this method whatsoever and Vienna now will eat an apple whole in her hand and she's only 21 months :) Hope that helps!

[@amandacohen8647]

Do you know where I can buy the Greens +?

[@joyoushealth]

Are you in Canada or the U.S? Either way, you'll be able to find them online. If in Canada, you can find at most local health food stores and big stores like Whole Foods etc.

[@shreeya1113]

One question how long should i take probiotics supplements ?

[@joyoushealth]

Beauty Addict I take them daily but it's really up to you. If you want to take a break every so often, then that's fine but just make sure you eat plenty of fermented foods to ensure you're always feeding your microbiome.

[@shreeya1113]

Joyous Health thank you so much

[@anaccount9439]

@Joyous Health and others: According to scientific studies, a lot of fermented foods give you stomach cancer. Kimchi and non-pasteurized pickles included. The exception is milk products like yogurt and kefir. The reason for that is, while bacteria ferment vegetables, they create toxic substances. Therefore, Joyous Health, don't you think it's a little reckless to tell people to eat plenty of fermented foods? What if I eat lots of kimchi following your advice and get stomach cancer ten years later? Or worse, I make my child eat it, too? Wonder about your thoughts on the issue.

[@joyoushealth]

I haven't come across studies saying that before. Do you have a link to the study? There's a lot of research behind fermented foods and how they help proliferate beneficial bacteria in the gut which helps support everything from digestion, mood and our immune system!

[@anaccount9439]

@Joyous Health: I had to research thoroughly to come across those studies. Here are the names and conclusions of studies that tie fermented vegetable consumption to gastric cancer (Would have given links but they don't work for some publications. You can google the study names later): Study 1: 'Pickled food and risk of gastric cancer--a systematic review and meta-analysis of English and Chinese literature.' Conclusion: "Our results suggest a potential 50% higher risk of gastric cancer associated with intake of pickled vegetables/foods and perhaps stronger associations in Korea and China." Study 2: 'Fresh and pickled vegetable consumption and gastric cancer in Japanese and Korean populations: a meta-analysis of observational studies.' Conclusion: "The results of this meta-analysis provide evidence that a high intake of pickled vegetables may increase GC (gastric cancer) risk and suggest that a high consumption of fresh vegetables, rather than a large total amount of vegetables including pickled vegetables, is important to reduce GC risk." Study 3: 'Pickled vegetables and the risk of oesophageal cancer: a meta-analysis.' Conclusion: "...potential two-fold increased risk of oesophogeal cancer...". I'm sick with a harsh disease and gathered info about fermented foods for my own health. What I learned is, to be able to say "Eat this!" to a person, you need weeks or months of research. Even then you might be deadly wrong because nutrition is extremely complicated and should actually be personalized. That's why I hope you will lean more into research for your channel or better, maybe you could get a degree in nutrition/healthcare and become an expert. If you have that chance, it would make your channel better than others :)

[@arteagaboyzzz]

That's my daughter's name too!

[@joyoushealth]

No way! So sweet! :)

[@yeoman2k1]

1 banana between three people?? These smoothies must be very low in calories. And as your drinking them, and not chewing them, the amylase in your saliva isn't digestesting the food and so you'll be getting even less nutrients from them! Something to look into, if you don't chew your food amylase isn't made and therefore the digestion process is incomplete and not triggered fully.

[@fairywar]

Protein powder in a kids smoothie...great...

[@joyoushealth]

It's such an easy way to get more plant-based proteins into your diet. If you watched the whole video you would see that I make a "family smoothie" to share with my hubs and daughter. If you're message is meant to be condescending which I gather it is from your other negative comments, then feel free to share your concerns. And if all you want to post is negative, angry comments on my channel then please go elsewhere before I block your bad energy.

You did great on this video. 👍 And thanks 4 the tumeric advice. So when curcumin is alone it needs pepper? But in tumeric it doesn't? Is that correct? I have chronic arthritis and Ik it helps a lot. I noticed in the golden milk videos no 1 added pepper. Now it makes sense. Thanks.

[@joyoushealth]

Beverly Crossland correct. In supplemental form something has to be added to aid in absorption because it’s usually isolated curcumin when it’s in a pill form.
