Dear Flock,
Just before we left California, we visited the fabulous Carrie Forrest, of Carrie On Vegan. You probably also read Carrie’s piece for our Thought for Food column, “How Cancer Grew My Activist Spirit,” which is quite beautiful. Carrie and her husband Alan — who is hilarious and insightful — will be among the guests on this weekend’s podcast (Episode 155). Mariann and I visited Carrie and Alan’s house for breakfast (I know, you want to kill me), and Carrie kindly let me record her as she made our spectacular smoothie. Below is the video I put together of the smoothie making festivities, followed by the recipe, and beneath that, you’ll find your chance to win a free download of Carrie’s new recipe app (which I LOVE), Vegan Delish.#PRIVATE#
Lucky us!!

Hello from Lake Charles, LA, by the way! My fingers keep trying to type “KALE Charles.” Vegan-induced dyslexia, most likely…
