Farmer’s Markets are starting to pop-up. Strawberries are showing up in droves at the grocery store, and asparagus is available at the co-op down the street. Yup. Summer is just around the corner. (Well, for my Northern hemisphere readers, anyway *wink*) And I don’t know about you, but I’ve got some winter weight to get rid of before the shorts and bathing suits come out of storage.
One way I’m getting myself back on track and celebrating the change in seasons is by doing a 30 day raw challenge. A fellow blogger and I have started a Facebook group, the Raw Fusion Rest, and we’d love it if you joined us. The group is closed, meaning you’ll have to ask for membership, but everyone is welcome – even non-vegans. The focus of the group is raw/high raw vegan, but any percentage of a raw food diet is perfectly fine. Join up! You’ll love it 😉
Now, onto the fun stuff…a give-a-way!
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Elizabeth Swann who graciously offered to send me a copy of her latest book, The New Green Smoothie Diet Solution, to review and give-a-way. Considering how lax I am on adding greens to anything except a salad, I jumped at the chance!
Elizabeth is an ND (Doctor of Naturopathic medicine) who has been working with clients for more than 10 years. Based in Mount Carmel, Israel, Elizabeth’s goal is to education people about the healing powers of food and how easy it is to make healthy, life-long lifestyle changes.
The New Green Smoothie Diet Solution is really informative. I expected it to be just be a “cook” book, but green smoothie recipes are only part of what you’ll find in this handy little book. The rest of the pages are filled with tons of information about greens and how to use them to overcome sugar cravings, detox, build your immune system, negate the negative effects of stress/feel calmer, improve the look and feel of your hair and nails, and even increase your vitality.
How about a Dandy Pineapple Detox Smoothie, a Kale-n-Orange Weight Loss Smoothie, or a Melon Head Green Smoothie? Sounds good to me!
Elizabeth has graciously offered to give-a-way a digital copy of The New Green Smoothie Diet Solution to one lucky reader of Veggie V’s Vegan Adventure.

And, for extra chances to win, signup to follow Veggie V by email (or by WP reader if you have a WP blog), and follow Veggie V on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Pinterest.

I have a green smoothie most mornings for breakfast. I would love to have some new recipes to try, thanks for the chance to win this book!
Good luck, Terri!
I’m an email subscriber.
I am vowing to start making green smoothies every morning, instead of drinking coffee. I’m about a week off of coffee right now (the headaches are killer!) and I’m only having one cup of green tea in the morning. In another couple of weeks, I’m planning to replace that green tea with a green smoothie every morning. This would be the perfect book!
Good luck, Jen!

I continue to increase my consumption of green smoothies with kale and spinach. It has improved my energy level and has my hair growing like wildfire. I am always looking for new recipes and hope I am chosen to win.

I’m a big green smoothie girl! I have at least one a day and sometimes two. It’s a great way to sneak in those greens. Celeste:)
Celeste: I need to start doing that! Sometimes I think my giant nightly salads aren’t enough greens. Keep it up 🙂
