Robyn Openshaw

Robyn Openshaw grew up the eldest of 8 children, raised on a tight budget where the menu was dominated by simple plant foods: whole grains and legumes, fruits and vegetables. She has a web site, GreenSmoothieGirl.com, with 80,000 or more new visitors monthly, dedicated to helping people achieve high energy and vibrant health. Its mission is to teach families how to live a whole-food lifestyle (mostly plants and 60-80 percent raw) diet that is easy, inexpensive, and pleasing to the palate.

Robyn is the author of 12 Steps to Whole Foods with over 175 recipes and 392 pages of the best nutrition practices available to reform your diet and reclaim your health. Robyn has also written The Green Smoothies Diet and 10 other books. She is a single mother of 4 competitive athletes with high caloric needs, who help develop and test her recipes. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees from BYU and the University of Utah and teaches nutrition classes to thousands of people across the US and Canada, committed to overthrowing the standard American diet.
