Smoothies and snacks are a delicious way to get a lot of nutrients with just a few ingredients. Usually, they are quick and easy to make and the necessary ingredients are affordable. Of course, smoothies and snacks are versatile in how they can be prepared, so feel free to add your own (vegan!) ingredients for improved taste or nutrition.

• 1 peeled kiwi (or another preferred medium-sized fruit, like a peach or an apple)
• 1 1/2 cup of mixed berries (or berry of your choice)
• 2 tbsp wheatgrass powder (if you do not have wheatgrass powder, you can use any other powder you have that you like, or a cup of kale)
• 1 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

• Break the banana in half (for easiness of space), and put it in the blender with the orange, kiwi, berries, wheatgrass powder, and water. Blend until smooth.

Instructions:

Serving:

Pour your oatmeal into a bowl. For added sweetness, sprinkle some date sugar. You can also add other components, such as seeds, nuts, or other raw fruits.
