Hey there! I’m Joanna Slodownik—plant-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? I’m on a mission to help you live (and eat!) in a way that’s good for you, the animals, and the planet.
As a certified juicing-for-health expert, writer, wife, and mom, I know firsthand how chaotic family life can get. That’s why I create real-food recipes that are simple, quick, and loved by even the most skeptical eaters—yes, including my husband and son!
I also write whimsical, fact-filled children’s books that inspire kids to fall in love with animals, plants, and the magic of nature. Whether it’s elephants, ducks, flamingos, snakes, or even bananas—there’s always something new to discover in This Amazing World.
💚 My books are here to help you:
Get more greens into your life (without gagging😄)
Feed yourself and your family delicious plant foods
Feel good about your choices—for 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 everything—from our health, to the lives of animals, to the future of our planet. So whether you’re plant-curious or plant-committed, I’m here to make the journey joyful, simple, and delicious. 😋
