Morning Green Smoothie – Raw Vegan Transitional Style

June 2nd, 2009 No comments

As I gradually rid my kitchen of all non-raw foods and foods that require cooking, I make a healthy and satisfying morning green smoothie, inspired by Philip McCluskey.

Some people have made the switch to a 100% raw vegan diet overnight. I decided to make it a gradual transition, since I was already vegetarian (in fact, near vegan) for the last 8 years.
