herbivoria

My goal in this was to create an introductary green smoothie that my husband and non-existent kids would like.

5 cups of fresh spinach
2 cups of soy creamer
2 t. of real vanilla extract
pinch of salt
4 T. of ground flaxseeds
3 cups of frozen strawberries
1 cup of water

Put spinach, creamer, vanilla, salt and flaxseeds in blender. Whip until you have a frothy green liquid. Add strawberries and water and blend until smooth. You can add more water depending on how thick or thin you like it.

It definitely does taste somewhat likes strawberry shortcake with the creamer, flax seeds and vanilla. And no, you can not taste the spinach. Trust me!

My favorite part of Nylon Magazine (I scored a free subscription) is the Private Icon feature where they take characters from movies and in music and come up with items you can wear to be inspired by their style. Kind of dorky I know but I love it. Anyhoo, this month was Joan Jett and I’m not sure if she was a vegan way back when but she certainly is now. And they had leather shoes! Tsk tsk. And Rimmel (Coty) tests on animals.

So here are my cruelty-free picks which I think are even cuter and cheaper than Nylon. Click on the image if you want to see the individual pieces.
