Who we are, Wild Rice Soup, Really Good Smoothie, Living with a Vegan, Plant-Based Diet Mistakes, and more!

This is the online version of our weekly email newsletter. It features the latest updates to lifeisnoyoke.com, articles published, recipes we made, Vitamix buying advice for those considering, and links (generally plant-based-lifestyle-related) we’re thinking about. To get it delivered to your inbox on Fridays, you can subscribe right here.

Quick “who are we” if you’re new here (or have been here for a while and could use an update about what we actually do).

We’re Shalva and Lenny Gale, and the best way to describe what we do is this:

We’re a mom-and-pop blender shop.

Except we don’t have a storefront.

We do YouTube and Instagram and blog and sell the Vitamix machine as affiliate partners. People use our links to buy direct from the manufacturer and we get credit for the referral.

We like the flexibility and ability to mesh our lifestyle with our work.

So yeah…

The mom and pop blender shop.

Or, mom and pop Vitamix shop, since you’re familiar with the Vitamix machine.

As always, we appreciate you supporting our work.

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2019.

(Pic below is from a hike in Arizona while on break earlier this month. We are now back to work and freezing our tuchus’ off in frigid Minneapolis, MN.)

1. Byerly’s (vegan) Creamy Wild Rice Soup

It’s by far our most popular recipe. Perfect for these frigid days.

Make it!

2. A really good smoothie

It was basically a pb&j smoothie with banana but for some reason it was really good this week. Here’s the tweet:

Really good smoothie this morning:

Almond milk
Frozen blueberries, strawberries, banana
Chia seeds
Peanuts
