Hi!

Quick question before we get into pretty pictures and links:

*Who* is your favorite smoothie maker? I’m talking about celebs, YouTubers, and Instagrammers you look to for inspiration and motivation.

Do tell…

Thanks in advance.

Much love,
Shalva and Lenny

1. Drink your greens

In case you’ve ever said you wanted to start drinking your greens, here’s our wildly well-received, 90-second video.

(We’re working on a couple new YouTube videos I think you’ll appreciate. Coming soon!)

Hit that thumbs up ? if you appreciate the video.

2. Deli Salad

It’s not the substance that matters. It’s the extras: pickles, onions, mayo, dijon, dill. Here’s the Chickpea Tuna Salad we made this week — so good.

Note: This week, we also made spicy green juice and lettuce wraps. Put them in your rotation!

3. Popular on Our Instagram This Week

Here’s a post from Shalva that’s getting a lot of engagement.

(And if you haven’t already, Follow Our Instagram; it’s free and we now have 15,161 followers!)

“We hit up the Minnesota State Fair this morning (my fave event of the year)! And amongst all of the cheese curds, milkshakes, and turkey legs we found this little gem. A local peach grilled to perfection ? ? (we also ate a ton of fried food, don’t judge). On the car ride home we daydreamed about opening a food booth and only working 12 days a year. Plant-based foods are getting pretty popular, we might just do it someday!”

4. Vitamix updates, demos, and deals

The Vitamix back-to-school sale is happening now. Pretty much everything is on sale. There’s even one model that’s $120 off.

There are deals for USA, Canada, and UK.

I just typed them all out and picked the best ones.

Get yours now here.

5. Articles, links, and other goodness we’re appreciating

The other day, I got a email from my mother asking us to share memories of her grandfather (my great grandfather) whose yahrzeit (anniversary of death) was that day. Highlights from her tribute: “I remember how he always gave me hand-written notes addressed to “#1 Granddaughter. I remember the smell of his pipe and going to his house for Friday night dinner.”

The point of me sharing this?

Everyday, I feel like I’m writing my obituary. What can I do today to make an impact on the next generation. Or, at the very least, how will I be remembered.

If you’re anything like me, this is it.

Make people feel special and loved. Teach them something.

And if you want to be remembered for more than making an impact, serve your loved ones good-smelling food.

Thanks again,

P.S. Here’s our annual Minnesota State Fair Picture with the dedication brick we were gifted for our wedding.
