Vegan Mofo: Sweet New Year Green Smoothie
Last night’s sunset marked the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the holiday celebrating the Jewish new year. Traditionally on Rosh Hashana, Jewish families eat sweet foods, especially apples, honey and cinnamon-raisin challah to symbolize their wish for a “sweet new year.” Continuing with The Colorful Kitchen’s smoothie-themed participation in Vegan Mofo, I’m super excited to share today’s recipe- Sweet New Year Green Smoothie. Let’s all raise our moothies and say L’shanah Tovah!
