PS cduffell you look awesome and your hard work pays off! :-)

[cduffell]

Thank you!! You are so sweet!

Thank you for your comment. You are correct. Honey is not vegan. It is raw and unprocessed, however, and I do use it on occasion. Some people use honey and call themselves "beegan". :-) As I always say, though, you do NOT have to add the honey. I do it specifically for the insulin surge for building and repairing muscle.

It's not necessary for the smoothie.

The Sun Warrior protein is absolutely 100% raw vegan from sprouted brown rice. No animal products or chemicals of any kind.

I can't eat bananas! What is the closest replacement? Thanks!

It really does not even need the honey. The banana and apples will cover the flavor of any greens. Adding the spice will really cover it, honey is overkill. It is GREAT to see someone using NATURAL recovery smoothies. I think even the protein powder is unnatural. I did a romaine, broccoli, banana, apple smoothie this morning and it clocked in at 19 grams protein. Unlike meat proteins, the body readily digests and using plant proteins.

@whackowitch I'd forgotten all about this (and have not been strength-training for the past couple of months now, bleh), but I'll make a mental note to get back on track and try this smoothie after Christmas. :D

@kimberlily1983 I thought they're be so gross, but I was amazed! They're delicious! Try one and you won't regret it.

She's cute and smart. I wonder why there's that song; "American woman.Stay away from me.. "

Great idea with the apple pie spice! Thanks for the hint.

And, yes, you look fantastic! I'm only just starting out with strength-training, have always been a cardio girl, but the results from the strength-training have been great so far. :)

I'm gonna try this smoothie sometime. The idea of green smoothies never hugely appealed to me (love greens in salads, but in smoothies?), but at your reassurance that you don't taste the spinach, I'll give it a shot. :)

@cduffell People could use agave or maple instead of honey. :)

Am I the only one who doesn't have a vita-mix???
