5 Good Things – June 3rd, 2017

June 3, 2017 by: Lenny Gale

My Morning Blend (feat. My Mom), Blueberry Breakfast Bites, Detox Salad, Raspberry Vanilla Smoothie, and More!

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

We’re on a six-week streak of uploading a new YouTube video. Are you watching them?

In case you missed them, here are the last five:

  1. (16:17) How to Make Green Juice in Your Blender
  2. (10:08) Unboxing the Vitamix Ascent A2500
  3. (17:35) Which Vitamix to Buy in 2017
  4. (3:07) You got a Ninja blender? That’s awesome. Really.
  5. (11:34) How to Write a Book (40 tips)

And this weeks? We’re trying out a new format: Interview style!

Here it is: (16:25) My Morning Blend (feat. My Mom)

P.S. Thanks for reading, watching, and sharing. We appreciate you.

2. New recipe posts we’re drooling over

These. These blueberry breakfast bites are really great. Make ’em now, eat ’em later. (Or now. They’re really good with a cup of coffee!)

3. Classic recipes we’re re-showcasing

It’s a classic we make all of the time. Just got a really flattering photo shoot: Detox salad.

+ A simple protein-style shake: Raspberry Vanilla.

4. Vitamix news and updates we’re enjoying

I recommend you grab a Certified Reconditioned Standard Programs (aka recon Pro 500) for $279.95 (at vitamix.ca they’re C$379.95). Really. What are you waiting for?

+ If you have had your eye on the all-touchscreen 780, it’s still $120 off while supplies last. (Canada shoppers get C$130 off the same model!) Take the plunge and enjoy the easy payment plans.

+ Want help picking a Vitamix? We’re trying out scheduled sales calls. Just pick a time and I’ll call you! (We did a couple calls earlier this week and had a lot of fun. Let’s chat!)

+If you’re going to buy through us, please use our → link to vitamix.com before you checkout and look for (06-NOYOKE) near the promotion code box to ensure we get credit. Thanks!

+ Just for fun, here’s that raspberry vanilla smoothie (shake?) in fresh four-clover formation inside an Ascent container.

Thank you from the Life is NOYOKE family Lenny, Shalva and Lucy.

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

Tons of restaurants are now offering vegan options. This kosher deli in New York is remaking all the classics. Looks like we’re going to need to book a flight. 🙂

Okay, all for now.

Thanks and good things,
Shalva and Lenny

P.S. This was from yesterday afternoon. Enjoying that freshly photographed detox salad on our stoop. So nice to eat outside again!
