Red, White & Blue Smoothie {Vegan}

Red White & Blue Smoothie {Vegan}

Since I started this blog my mind has just been bursting with recipe ideas, especially when I’m getting ready to fall asleep at night and I’m in that half-awake-half-asleep state and I don’t really know if the idea was a good one until the next morning. And then I do what most people probably do when they think of an idea – they google it to see if it has been done before and most of the time it has in some way, shape or form. I wasn’t planning on making this smoothie because after I did a google search for red white and blue smoothies and saw about a hundred different ones on the screen I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore. But then I got to thinking, what did people do before the internet? They came up with ideas and brought them to life, without googling them first. They were free to just think and do. Here’s the part where I tell you to be independent and free and creative and play with your food and when you think up an idea, just do it! Happy Independence Day!

    Does this make 2 smoothies?

      It makes two generous sized smoothies (like big mason jar) or four skinny glass smoothies like the ones pictured above. Hope that helps!
