Vegan Favorites | June 2013

I really like putting together these quick videos sharing my favorite vegan food, cosmetics, smoothie, quote and book for the month. "Faves" videos are very popular with the beauty community on YouTube, so I figured it would be cool to talk about the vegan stuff and some of my other interests, too.

Products mentioned: 

**Tinkyada Pasta Joy brown rice pasta-We're not a gluten-free family but I've been testing out gluten-free pasta since my youngest son has an intolerance.

**LaraBar Apple Pie 

**Smoothie:
2 1/2 cups spring mix
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup mixed berries
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 cup water
8-10 ice cubes

This smoothie isn't sweet at all. You can reduce the amount of greens and add medjool dates, agave nectar or more fruit if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

**Baby Cakes Donut Maker I posted a donut recipe here

**Quote "Freedom is realizing that you can do anything you want with your life AND NO ONE CAN STOP YOU." Happy Black Woman I LOVE quotes and post several a week on my Lifestyle blog.

**Book: Choose Yourself by James Altucher (affiliate link)

Mango Banana Cream Smoothie

The weather has been absolutely glorious here! The kids even start on their homework on the way home from school, so they can have more time to enjoy the sunshine.

Before we left to throw rocks in the lake and ride bikes, I made this delicious fruit smoothie as a snack.

Ingredients:

2 mangos

2 frozen bananas

1 young Thai coconut (meat & water)

Blend until smooth and enjoy!

4 Servings

I love when I come across a recipe and already have the ingredients on hand.  This smoothie took care of the craving I had for So Delicious ice cream too. lol

Thanks for reading!
