Three quick recipes from my Raw Vegan Cinco de Mayo festivities this year that I thought I would share with you all since they were all the bommmb. I was able to eat fully raw and be FULLY satisfied today, and I know you can too if you try these recipes!
For starters, a smoothie!
I woke up in excitement for Cinco de Mayo, with ingredients that I was going to use for my smoothie already in mind. Last year, I created
Raw Mango Margaritas, and I wanted to make a spin off of that. This year, I combined pineapple, mango, banana, coconut water and aloe vera (optional), and served it into a coconut sugar rimmed mason jar.
Eating healthy during the holidays can be daunting to some, but I am here today to share with you two recipes that you could whip up in your kitchen for you and your loved ones. The first is a Layered Coconut Berry Holiday Smoothie that is raw and kid-friendly, and the second is a hearty Holiday Kale & Quinoa Salad loaded with some of my favorite ingredients, like maple glazed walnuts and persimmons.These ingredients are simple!
A lot of people claim that green smoothies are too complex to be included in their morning routines, but I argue the opposite! Green smoothies can be made with complexity or extremely simplistic, it is all up to you. You really do not have to rely on any recipe, as I encourage you to get creative in the kitchen and include flavors YOU love <3
Today I am sharing two flavors that I myself enjoy and I encourage you to try them out. One recipe is simple, while the other is a bit more complex. Whether you follow these recipes exactly to the T or draw inspiration from them, the fact that you will be creating a green smoothie is what makes me happy.
