Why Vegan Smoothies? Every smoothie recipe in this book is one hundred percent plant-based, vegan. Nutritional information and all. No thinking required. Vegan smoothies are free of the animal products that you oft en ? nd in smoothie recipes, such as dairy milk, dairy yogurt, and honey. Dairy from animals can contain saturated fat, hormones, chemicals, and more. And for some people, digesting dairy is a taxing process. Not only can animal products be harsh on your body, they are de?nitely harsh on the animals they come from. By choosing vegan plant-based smoothies, you are making a compassionate choice for animals—and a smart choice for our planet. Not vegan? Totally OK. You don’t have to be vegan to love these recipes. And blending up plant-based smoothies is an excellent way to experiment with vegan cuisine. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you don’t miss—and how vibrant, energized, light, and satis?ed you feel. Vegan Substitutions for Dairy I’m making it easy for smoothie lovers. There is no reason why you would need dairy products to build a delicious smoothie, and here is how I do it with common substitutions: dairy yogurt —› non-dairy yogurt (such as soy, almond, or coconut yogurt) dairy milk —› non-dairy milk (such as almond, rice, cashew, soy, coconut, grain, or ?ax milk) whey protein powder —› dairy- and casein-free protein powders (soy, hemp, pea, or other vegan protein blends) whipped cream —› soy, rice, or coconut whipped topping Smoothie Recipe FAQs 1. Q: What do you mean by “healthy fats”? And aren’t all fats bad for me?

And even though, calorie-wise, all fats contain 9 calories per gram, health-wise, not all fats are created equal. Some are healthier than others; thus the term “healthy fats.” Eating 10 grams of fat from butter is much less healthy than eating 10 grams of fat from walnuts. Walnuts are much higher in “healthy fats” than butter. Healthy fats can include monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and omega-3 essential fatty acids, aka EFAs. Healthy fat intake plays a signi?cant role in wellness. Everything from appetite control, brain function, mood regulation, and even weight loss may be in?uenced by whether or not you are consuming enough healthy fats. Healthy fats for your smoothies include avocado, nuts, nut butters, seeds, and healthy nut and seed oils like ? ax, chia, walnut, pumpkin seed, and hemp. Another important point is that some vitamins, like vitamin A (from beta-carotene), vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin D, are fat-soluble. This means that your
