Last summer, I spoke at The Seed, a vegan lifestyle conference. My presentation was on the “semi-raw” life–an approach to eating raw food that focuses on taste and creativity without getting trapped in pseudoscience or dogma. This year, I’m delighted to say that I’ll be back for more. On May 18th and 19th–just about a week from now–I’ll be in NYC to participate in two days of vegan immersion once again.
My topic this year? Smoothies. And who better to chat smoothies with than my friend and superstar blogger Kathy Patalsky?
Kathy and I met at an event a few years ago, and we became fast friends. You may remember our fun collaboration in the Kathy Gena show, before she left DC (boo hoo!).
Kathy is the author of the upcoming book 365 Vegan Smoothies. I am so, so excited for this incredible resource! No one knows smoothies better than Kathy, and the book is sure to be full of incredible recipes and useful tips. Plus, it’s going to feature a preface by…me! I am so flattered that Kathy asked me to contribute some words about smoothie history and nutrition. More on the book’s publication soon–for now, you should preorder your copy!
Our presentation at The Seed will be all about smoothies, plus tips on smoothie nutrition AND two smoothie demos. It’s going to be so much fun. Here are photos from last year’s event:
This year is sure to be even more fun! Tickets are available here. If you’re in or around the New York City area, please join me and Brendan Brazier, Rich Roll, JL Fields, Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan, Elizabeth Olson, Chloe Coscarelli, Fran Costigan, and a ton of other incredible vegan educators and speakers. If that’s not motivation enough, the conference will feature a ton of incredible food, including goodies from One Lucky Duck. Come, eat, enjoy, and please say hi to me if you’re there! I’d love to connect with any CR readers who can make it.

Great this is a awesome article. I just wish to gather energy to get to your level hopefully. Indeed
Love the videos! I especially like the recipe for your banana wraps – great idea!
Wish my upcoming NYC trip was at the same time as the event – I’d love to attend! 🙁 Good luck with it and I can’t wait to hear how it goes.
I live in the U.K. so hope you can do a post on how this event went. I am always looking for inspiration where smoothies are concerned, so would love an up-date!
SO excited- I’ll be there, too. so I get to see you again! I can’t believe how soon it is now… I’ve gotta get my act together and figure out my game plan, since I’m scheduled to do a demo on pie crust.
Why isn’t there one of these in Los Angeles? I would love to go! It sounds amazing!
Those back-to-school videos are great! Also, I recently did a smoothie demonstration using your cinnamon cherry blast smoothie and got rave reviews! The Seed looks and sounds so much fun, but, unfortunately, I am a mere thousand miles or so from NYC right now. Hope you have a good time, though!
Aww, looks so fun! Would love to visit NYC sometime… it’s on the bucket list 🙂
I so wish I could attend. However, now that I’m comparatively so much closer, I see many, many bus rides to NYC in my future! Seriously cannot. wait. Have an awesome time, Gena!
I can’t wait to see you at The Seed!!!!!!!!!! (I’m not going to apologize for all of those exclamation points – that’s how excited I am.) xxoo
I’ll be there with the Vassar Animal Rights Coalition and will be sure to say hi, darling Gena! 😀
-Ali.
Hooray!!! A prelude to hanging out in DC 😉
