Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

[Linus]

I'll give credit that I wasn't that creative to make it out of my own noggin'. The recipe comes from Victoria Boutenko's Green Smoothie Revolution (you can find her books here) She's a huge green smoothie advocate. Although I found some of her writing style odd (I don't how to explain it but it felt "preachy" I found the recipes worthwhile). The more I learn about raw vegan, the more it makes sense.

Now that said, I don't think I could do 100% raw vegan largely because of travel and such (I end up in some of the oddest places and plain salad non-stop in the winter can be a downer for me -- sometimes a good veggie soup does wonders). But aiming for any kind of raw vegan in one's diet is better than none IMO. I'm trying to get to 60-80% when at home and possibly, even on the road (especially in North America in the larger cities -- when I go overseas and such, it'll depend on the area).
