This awesome smoothie and intro comes from the Young and Raw website: What do you do when you’re hungry, in a rush or just feeling too lazy to make a meal? Have a smoothie of course! We’re loving this one, and if you’re lucky enough to have access to mango (frozen or fresh) at this time of year, this is an easy recipe for you to try. Smoothies make a great breakfast and we usually suggest you start with one simple change when you want to get healthy or switch up your diet. Having a smoothie for breakfast instead of potatoes and bacon or pancakes can make a massive improvement in your energy levels and how you feel through out the rest of your day. A recipe like this is easy to make and only takes a few minutes from start to finish.

This outstanding "cheese" sauce recipe comes from my Vitamix recipe book. It makes a delicious mac n "cheese" - try it with whole grain macaroni! It also makes a great "cheesy" broccoli (or other vegetables), vegetable dip, nachos, or "cheese" spread for bread or crackers. You can quickly whip this up in your Vitamix or blender.
