Today is day 1 of  Wanderlust Vermont a festival that brings together yoga, hiking, music and art at the beautiful Stratton Mountain Ski Resort.  wanderlustfestival.com  Such a pleasure to be at an event where organic even vegan food is readily available.  In an effort to have a zero carbon imprint the festival even provides hydration stations sponsored by Camelbak reusable BPA free water bottles.  When I left this afternoon around 3 they had already prevented over 700 plastic bottles from ending in the trash or using energy to be recycled.  It shows that all it takes is some forethought and a little bit of effort and we really can make a difference.  



To start the day right I made a smoothie for breakfast.

1 Cup Skim Milk from Battenkill Valley Creamery battenkillcreamery.com
1/2 Cup Whole Milk Greek Yogurt from The Argyle Cheese Farmer, cheesefarmer.com
1 Tbl Maple Peanut Butter from The Saratoga Peanut Butter Company, yopeanut.com
1  Organic Banana

Put all ingredients in blender and blend. Add ice, blend, enjoy! 

YUMMY! I can't source any local bananas in upstate New York but at my local Hannaford supermarket organic bananas were only 20 cents more a pound compared to conventional bananas.
