Hello and Welcome!š
I’m Joanna Slodownikāplant-powered creator, smoothie slinger, and kindness crusader behind the Green Reset Formula and the This Amazing World and Planet Herbivore books for kids and families.
Basically? Iām on a mission to help you live (and eat!) in a way thatās good for you, the animals, and the planet.
As a self-appointed green smoothie guru, certified juicing-for-health expert, writer, wife, and mom, I share real-food recipes that are simple, quick, and loved by even the most skeptical eatersāyes, including my husband and son!
I also write whimsical, fact-filled childrenās books that inspire kids to fall in love with animals, plants, and the magic of nature. Whether itās elephants, ducks, flamingos, snakes, or even bananasāthereās always something new to discover in This Amazing World.
š My books are here to help you:
- Get more greens into your life (without gaggingš)
- Feed yourself and your family delicious plant foods
- Feel good about your choicesāfor your body, animals, and the planet
- Learn more about the amazing world around you and creatures we share this planet with
I believe that what we put on our plates can change everythingāfrom our health, to the lives of animals, to the future of our planet. So whether youāre plant-curious or plant-committed, Iām here to make the journey joyful, simple, and delicious.Ā š
