Enjoy!

It's a Giveaway!! Yikes... Must Have Been Something I Ate!

I’m so excited to present this giveaway from Vega and Sequel Naturals because it's all about health! 

I was contacted by the good people at Sequel about doing a giveaway of the book "Must Have Been Something I Ate," by Peggy Kotsopoulos. Peggy is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and she teaches people how to create a healthier lifestyle using food. 

In her book, Peggy writes about the simple connection between what you eat and how you look and feel. It's neatly divided into sections such as the food-mood connection, food-weight connection, food-beauty connection and the food-health connection. Each section focuses on how you can make real changes with what you eat. She includes 25 recipes (one of which I've included), and many are vegan. It's easy to read, straight forward and its loaded with resources and references.

Here's one for you to try. I thought it was delicious and surprisingly decadent.

 Chocolate Cherry Smoothie

• 2 cups hemp milk
• 1 cup frozen tart cherries (or 1/2 c. tart cherry juice and 1/2 c. cherries)
• 3 T raw cacao powder
• 1 T cacao nibs
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 scoop Vega Smoothie Infusion
• Seeds from the pod of one vanilla bean or 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp yacon syrup 

Add all ingredients to blender and combine thoroughly.

I've made a few other recipes from her book... like the juice above. After one taste I went straight to my refrigerator to make sure I had enough ingredients to make it the following day. It's delicious, refreshing and you'll feel great afterward. It's named BeYOUtifying Cleansing Cocktail and it's on page 139. My husband and I loved the Glammed-Up Guac on page 141. It's become the recipe I use every time I make guacamole now. It's excellent!!

Before I get to the giveaway, I want to thank Cierra at Vega and Sequel Naturals for sending me some delicious and filling smoothies that got me out the door fast. These Vega products are high quality smoothie mixes made in a variety of flavors (the chocolate is awesome) with servings of fruits, veggies and a ton of other nutrients. They are gluten-free and vegan! 

So thank you Sequel for the opportunity to review the book, host a giveaway and make some delicious morning meals!
