When most people hear the word "Vegan" being used, it may be off putting to those who are meat eaters, or it may excite the food connoisseurs who enjoy living adventurously by trying new recipes outside of their comfort zones.I found these amazing recipes surfing the Internet in search of something new, and am forever thankful that I did.
I am going to introduce you to three of the most AMAZING Vegan Green Shakes, that don'tprovoke that unwanted fear of vegetable sludge that by the looks of it, resembling the infamous Ghostbuster's slime, or having the taste and smell of the green algae that forms on the shorelines of ponds where turtles love to frequent.
I'm sure as those unfamiliar with how good Vegan shakes can really be, myself included, are thinking to themselves, "Whaaat!" as those Vegan Green Shake lovers are like "BRIIINNG ITT!!"
The first shake I am going to introduce is from my top three shakes I know will win the taste buds of Novice Vegan consumers, not to mention how they taste as beautiful as they look.
1. GREEN WARRIOR PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS:
Half a cup of fresh red grapefruit juice
1 cup de-stemmed dinosaur/lacinato kale or baby spinach
1 large sweet apple roughly chopped
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 medium/large stalk celery chopped
3 to 4 tablespoon hemp hearts
1/3 cup frozen mango
2 tablespoons packed fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil
4 ice cubes
DIRECTIONS:
Add the grapefruits first to the blender.
Slowly add the rest of the ingredients
Pour into the glass and enjoy! ( I like to add this smoothie to a chilled glass from the freezer)
What makes this smoothie as one of my favorites is the fact of how much it it does give you that nice added boost after a workout. Due to it having a nice balance in Omega fatty acids and fiber, it doesn't carry that "heavy" feeling in your stomach.
2. CHOCOLATE GREEN SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup almond milk
1 cup baby spinach
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 frozen banana
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon superfood greens (optional)
1 tablespoon hemp powder (optional)
1 cup ice
DIRECTIONS:
Before you begin, set you music to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins because the awesome chocolate taste is about to become dangerously delicious!
Place all of the ingredients in the blender. Hit the play button on your music device, followed by the push of the blender button. Make sure to sing along loudly!
You are more than welcome to top with your smoothie with extra cinnamon or more chocolate, or whatever you are in the mood to add, even a few coconut flakes if you like.
What makes this smoothie one of my favorites, is the fact that I'm really not a fan of chocolate, but as I was surfing the web late one night, I said to myself, " Why not?" and I must say, I am not disappointed and glad that I did.
3. VEGAN MANGO - COCONUT GREEN SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup fresh washed spinach leaves, pre-washed
1 cup fresh or frozen mango cubes
1/2 medium banana
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
1 tablespoon coconut butter
3/4 cup light canned coconut milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ice cubes
DIRECTIONS:
Dump in blender and hit puree.
Serve in chilled glass.
** You can add chopped mango or coconut flakes for topping.
I like it, and it makes the drink look absolutely beautiful in my humble opinion.
This is by far my most favorite Vegan Green Shake, because of not only the simplicity in making it, but the taste is just magical on your taste buds. If mangos and coconuts could have babies, this shake would be it.
CONCLUSION:
All in all, for someone who has always been a skeptic of Vegan shakes because of the not so great experiences in healthy shake making, I must say with the shakes I have suggested in trying, I wouldn't have them any other way.
I can only thank those late nights of insomnia induced boredom before bed,and the Adventurer in me always encouraging me to go for something different, as well as those who have taken the time out to share these AMAZING Vegan Green Smoothies on the Internet.

Love the ocean blue
The ocean blue feels like the True original Green Apple active pants you loved (and probably bought from TJ Maxx or Marshall's back in the day) Although these do have elastic in the waist (I'm personally not a fan of the added elastic), it's not too bad... fit is excellent, quality excellent, no hormone disruptors excellent fabric, it's going to wash and wear like a champ (and at that $40-$50 price range, the value is excellent. I'd love to see more bright pinks, bubblegum pinks, various colors of bright purple or bright green, and more white options.

Best capris ever!
I have been wearing Green Apple clothing for years. I practically live in them day and night. There is really nothing that compares to this brand. I was very fortunate to get a few new pairs of these recently. I have been wearing the ones I had for many many years and they held up great. They are so comfy and the fit is amazing! Hides that little pooch I have which is much needed. They are great for working out or just wearing around the house. I love these!

Super duper legging
I love these leggings to wear out and about. I wore them the first time to Disneyland. They are so comfortable. They give the needed support so that nothing is hanging out. They lift and support the booty. The material is comfy and very durable. I like to wear them with a little pair of boot and a sweater. They are also great for working out.

Shipping issues
There seems to be a distribution issue with this company. While the mat seems ok. Upon making a large order including clothing, I ordered 2 mats and received 1 mat. It took over a month to receive the first mat which was well packaged. It took nearly another month to receive my 2nd mat which the mat has slight damage to the underside foam edge and the mat did come with a strap this time. For the price of the mat the waiting wasn’t worth the experience being that I could just order a mat anywhere else and receive it a lot sooner. I was told an additional item would be sent with my 2nd order for my trouble and that was not the case. I gave 3 stars as their clothing and the mat seem to be good quality. The experience and shipping time m, 1 star. I had to make several follow up attempts just to receive my full order made in January. I live in the same coast/time zone from where the items ship from.
