I am a big fan of the Conscious Box and I have reviewed their monthly boxes several times over the last year or so. It's fun to get a mystery box each month and dig into random products that you have never tried...all of which are good for you (or the planet) in some way.

It blends food at speeds up 218 miles per hour! The first day I had the machine I had a strawberry, banana, carrot, cabbage, and raspberry smoothie... fresh … [Read more...]
