Good morning lovely readers! The sun is out and shining in Longview WA, and I, with my vegan self, am enjoying as much of it as I can sneak through the window. The sun does put me in a very good mood, which is beneficial for everyone! I am going to tell you why.
To celebrate the second week of the Green Smoothie Challenge [aka GSC among Back to Eden Vegan Forum members], I am hosting a giveaway! [By the way, I am running a very awesome giveaway on the B2E forum too: Green Smoothie Revolution, by V. Boutenko!]
This giveaway is special AND delicious!
Premier Organics, the makers of Artisana butters recently sent me some samples of their goodness to try.

I enjoyed every single one of their samples, but I have to admit that Coconut Butter and Cacao Bliss butter were by far my favorite, followed closely by the Cashew and Macadamia butters. I simply could not get enough of them… until I ran out! It was great to much on butters and spreads that were actually GOOD for me!
I used to eye Artisana butters every time I went to Whole Foods, thinking that one day I will splurge and try some. Everything from their packaging [glass jars], to their colorful labels, the fact that they the butters are RAW and ORGANIC was appealing to me. Well, now I had tried them and I am HOOKED!
Premier Organics, the makers of Artisana is a small organic food company trying to make a big difference. They make and create living and organic butters and spreads. They are devoted to sustainable living and support the organic and living foods movement. They try to buy their foods as close to the farmer as possible. In many cases they are able to buy straight from the organic farmers. That’s how they operate. It is how they live their lives.
Handmade with care, their organic live foods are crafted using a special low heat process that always preserves the life-essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.
Their mottos is: Artisana: Raw life-energy from Sun to Plant to Body.
