Welcome to the green smoothie and
raw food headquarters.

This is the official site of Victoria, Sergei, and Valya Boutenko, otherwise known as The Raw Family. In 1994, we experienced an intense decline in health. Faced with our numerous health problems, (juvenile diabetes, obesity, hyper thyroid, chronic fatigue, arrhythmia, arthritis, asthma, and allergies) we began researching nutrition. After switching over to a healthful way of eating we were able to fully reverse our symptoms and regain vibrant health. Since that time our family has been dedicated to helping people around the globe learn about natural healing and nutrition by writing books, making films, and presenting health lectures. We are here to inspire you to take your health into your own hands. On this site you will find an abundance of free information and research about acquiring naturally radiant health.

Reversing the Irreversible

Dear Friends,

Three years ago Valya created a documentary “Reversing the Irreversible,” which became our most inspirational DVD. It consists of 37 testimonials of people who amazingly improved their health naturally. This documentary was awarded the Green Apple Award from 2008 Raw Lifestyle Film Festival in Hollywood. Inspired by warm feedback, Valya decided to re-create this documentary with professional filming equipment and expand the topic. Valya is aiming to produce this remake by the beginning of December. Please view a 2-minute preview:

I have checked our inventory and discovered that we have about 400 copies of the original video. Considering the approach of the Holiday Season, we offer Valya’s original DVD “Reversing the Irreversible” at a special price of $5.55 (instead of $19.95). All of our on-line volume discounts still apply.

We invite you to browse our extensive newsletter archives and follow our raw food journey as we discovered the healing power of greens and introduced green smoothies to the world. Greens are the most nutritionally dense food available on the planet. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, proteins, and phytonutrients. What better way to consume them than in a delicious green smoothie? The fresh ripe fruits dominate the flavor of the greens and the absence of any fats maximize the absorption of the nutrients. These two factors make the green smoothie the most epic nutritious concoction the world has seen to date. Adding even one cup of green smoothie a day to one’s existing diet can dramatically improve anyone’s health. And the best part is, nearly everyone already has what they need to make a green smoothie sitting around in their kitchen right now!

For even more information and research into greens and raw foods we invite you to browse our Green Smoothies Blog, watch our educational video clips, check out our green smoothie recipes, listen to our free teleconferences, learn from inspiring  testimonials and visit our store where you will find all of our books and DVD’s.

With green love, the Boutenko family
