5 Good Things – December 3rd, 2016

December 3, 2016 by: Lenny Gale

Hi! Here’s what’s new, exciting, and thought provoking from our Life is NOYOKE world.

This is the online version of our weekly email newsletter, 5 Good Things. To get it delivered to your inbox on Saturdays, you can subscribe right here.

1. New recipe posts we’re drooling over

We made vegan tzatziki sauce and falafel balls. I know what you’re thinking. Tzatziki is not a falafel topping. But, if you don’t eat meat, how else are you going to get to enjoy that dilly, cucumbery, delicious Greek sauce?

Note: The falafel balls recipe should be in an upcoming newsletter soon. Still tinkering with the recipe.

+ We also made an easy pumpkin balsamic vinaigrette that we’ll def make again.

2. Classic recipe we’re re-showcasing

This easy, apple carrot kale smoothie was one of the first green smootheies ever posted to Life is NOYOKE. It was time for a new photo shoot and recipe update. (We’re taking suggestions for a new, less generic name. The ACKman is all we got, so…)

3. New blog posts, site updates, and other things we’re proud to be sharing

We’ve finally honed in on what LINY’s been gradually doing all along: We’re veganizing.

+ Our Instagram follower count hit four digits. #proudofshalva #allher

+ We updated our About page. It’s now super clear what you can get from our site.

4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying

While the super duper deal is now out of stock, there are still several good holiday specials available on Vitamix.com and Vitamix.ca.

+ Here’s a look at 6 Vintage Vitamix models. Love how these get passed down from generation to generation.

+ A guide on what to do with your used Vitamix.

5. Articles, posts, and products from around the web we’re thinking about

Nestle has figured out a way to use 40% less sugar in its chocolate and still have it taste the same. How? By reshaping the sugar crystals. (Still won’t be my first pick for chocolate…)

Have we told you about our popcorn air popper? Oh, the joy it brings.

Okay, all for now.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

Good things,
Lenny
