A refreshing fruit smoothie, featuring fresh picked, wild raspberries. This is a true vegan recipe since it does not contain honey. According to many vegans, honey is an animal product. I read that bee farms are bad for the natural, wild bees in the area. I haven't done much research as to whether or not that is true. I eat only local honey.

I am moving to California. I will be making a post all about my decision on my personal account for my first Wednesday Walk post. I will also be blogging about rural desert homesteading. The math says I cannot afford it, unless Steem pumps to over $10. My brain says to do it anyway, and hope for the best.
