VeganMoFo Day 1: "Have Mango, Will Tango" Breakfast Smoothie #VGNMF15
I am so excited to be participating in VeganMoFo for the first time with Urban Naturale.

VeganMoFo is a grassroots event that evolved from an international community of vegans who love to cook, and are passionate about sharing their love of vegan food with the rest of the world. The idea was first created by famed vegan chef, cookbook author and Modern Love chef/owner Isa Chandra Moskowitz of The Post Punk Kitchen (theppk.com).

The ninth Annual Vegan Month of Food (aka “VeganMoFo”) returns for another month-long culinary affair, encouraging daily posts beginning September 1, 2015, and bigger + brighter engagements via Instagram updates and daily creative prompts at VeganMoFo HQ (veganmofo.com).

Vegan MoFo Day 1: Rise and Shine! It’s MoFo Breakfast Time!

This worldwide event features participants hailing from over 22 countries, who pledge to post about vegan food on a near daily basis throughout the entire month of September. VeganMoFo’s evolution has seen it expand beyond the realm of blogs to encompass all social media platforms: Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, and beyond. These food writers ,professional and home cooks will write about what they eat and what they cook, all with the intention of showcasing the wide and delicious world of vegan food.

This internet-based September 1-30, 2015, across hundreds of blogs and social media accounts around the globe.

Weekly blog and Instagram roundups will be be housed at VeganMoFo International HQ (veganmofo.com) and updated on the official Instagram, @veganmofo. The official website also offers writing guides and post ideas, an RSS feed, blogs by category, an F.A.Q., sign up and 2015 badges.

Vegan MoFo Day 1. Rise and Shine!

It’s MoFo time! Tell us about your breakfast.

VeganMoFo Day 1: "Have Mango, Will Tango" Breakfast Smoothie #VGNMF15

My healthy, go-to breakfast on most mornings is a quick and yummy smoothie made from

whatever ripe, healthy, organic fruits and vegetables I have brought home from our local

farmer’s market or have on hand in the kitchen.

Today I have some sweet and juicy ripe mangos so that will be the creative base for my

breakfast smoothie.

Summer time is mango time!

So when mangos are in season, I make sure to eat them as often as possible.

Who can resist their sweet, soft, tangy taste!

In fact, they taste so good, they make me want to dance!

My new motto is: Have mango, will tango!

What an appropriate name for today’s breakfast smoothie–don’t you think?
