Organic Bio-Greens Giveaway! + Raw Applesauce


By Sketch-free Vegan Eating (Visit website)



Living the student life isn't always as fun as it looks. Especially if you're living off of chickpeas and rice cakes day in and day out. I notice such a difference when I consume greens on a daily basis than when I don't so if I can't afford fresh green vegetables I usually invest in a green powder, it usually costs around 30-40 dollars depending on the brand quality and will last me for a good 3 weeks sometimes even longer.

One of my new found favourite brand of greens is North Coast Naturals Organic Bio-Greens. It has absolutely no weird artificial flavourings and is sweetened with inulin and lo han guo (a fruit known for its intense sweetness but low glycemic index). The best part about this green powder is the taste! Which is strange to say considering it's greens but somehow it tastes really good. It comes in one flavour: apple-berry and does a good job in mellowing out the greens taste, making it taste like berry flavoured applesauce. Serious yums.

Some unique ingredients in this particular mix: black chokeberry, pumpkin seed powder, and Nova Scotian dulse powder. Us Canadians really know how to put together a sketch-free product :P. Check out their website for more information on ingredients, health info, and where you can buy it online. It's also sold in Canadian health food stores.



After about 3 days of mixing it in water, I started to look for alternate ways to get the green stuff in me without feeling like I'm drinking a green-berry-apple swamp lol as good as that sounds... Since the powder tastes so much like berry applesauce I thought of combining it in raw applesauce! I've had this for breakfast four mornings in a row, it digests like a dream and is a nice change from regular green smoothies.

2 Apples (I used 1 pink lady and 1 granny smith)

That's it! I managed to make this in a magic bullet, seriously could not live without that thing. Puree the apples first then stir in the powder after the apples have combined nice and smooth.

Post-greens: I was so excited I didn't puree it all the way :P
