Veganism update - green smoothie goodness !

I have not posted on this blog for a while... which is terrible on my behalf.   I wish I could say I have been busy, but that is just really not true. I think the truth is is that I have been living the easy life of eating take-away falafel and pre-made vegan veggie burgers , pre-made soup, lots of salad and fruits.  You know, every once in a while we all get terribly lazy, but I quite admire myself for still keeping it relatively healthy  ( minus the falafel and the veggie burgers  but I grant myself some naughty indulgence-  I will post a recipe soon for home-made baked falaffel made from scratch and therefore less fed and less processed stuff. I am very in to knowing what exactly is in my food - so stay tuned! )

I am still vegan!  and I still eat quite healthy. I feel super good doing this, I feel like I have quite a lot of energy, and that my body is really positively responding to this.  I can't imagine going back. ever.  The way I have been feeling has also affected those around me - lots of people after seeing me and listening to me are upping their veg intake, and drinking less dairy,  and eating less meat ( this is not my intention - but it is a good side effect). Not everyone of course, there are plenty of people who think I am nuts ;).  I am reading up lots on nutritional info, and spend hours on youtube watching what other people enjoy eating the vegan-way.  If you have anything you recommend me to watch or read - please let me know. I am always up for learning new things and acquiring new information.

I also have an Instagram  ( @frencake ) on which I post more regular updates. Mainly foto's of food and things I am doing, but just in case you are interested in some more of my food porn following me on Instagram is the way forward.  

What I really have been enjoying lately is drinking smoothies, and especially green ones. I never really used to be in to them, but maybe that is because I did not do them right? I think the key is to add some sweet fruits, and make sure it is not too sludgy and nice and smooth.  I drink many variations of smoothies and I am sure that over time more variations of this will find its way onto this blog. but for now I want to leave you with a recipe for a green smoothie that I really enjoy so you can get your green-smoothie on!  ( Its not really a recipe.. lets face it. all you need is a blender :) )
