The Live Green Smoothie Diet

This Live Green Smoothie is pudding-thick, tangy-tart, and chockfull of mango goodness! This recipe is a great way to use up left-over cranberries (or an expense to pick up more and make use of post-Thanksgiving sales). If your mangos aren’t nice and ripe, you’ll need to add a bit of extra sweetness, but this is [...]

I seriously appreciate dishes that will keep in the fridge for a few days so there’s always something around to dip into, snack on, or use to whip up a quick meal. Cabbage is a great vegetable to work with in that regard, because it marinates well and holds up to dressing. Like a stew, [...]

Heretofore, all of my pomegranate recipes have been blended or juiced, but here we have the lovely juicy-red gorgeousness of the pomegranate coming out in full color, tossed with a light honey-rose dressing to stain the apples an exquisite shade of pink.  A perfect side dish for any holiday table… or just make it and [...]

I’m still laughing with glee over this one… it’s mad-crazy delicious, exploding with lemony zing, and as creamy as can be. And took just a few minutes to make from fresh ingredients and a bit of raw cane sugar. And of course, this is entirely without dairy… a true raw vegan recipe for anyone that [...]

The challenge today: to create a V-8-esque Live Green Smoothie from simple, non-exotic ingredients available at any grocery story, and possibly already in someone’s fridge and cupboard. Another day, I’ll put up a recipe using fresh horseradish root and a bit of Nama Shoyu unpasteurized soy sauce, and maybe some fresh chili. But for now, we’ve [...]

I am in love with this cocktail! It’s intended especially for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other Holiday Celebrations, and is a no-alcohol cocktail that tastes very grownup and slightly exotic! It is just the loveliest, festive shade of fuschia and, for those who enjoy cranberries and rose, will ramp up the holiday spirit wherever you make it. I [...]

Yah, I know… this vanilla creme tart is green. Well.. let’s talk about that. I am a serious vanilla-lover. And one of my dreams is to create a raw vegan dessert that can rival vanilla pudding or custard creme — or any of the other fabulously creamy vanilla fillings made in the cooked-food realm. The [...]

A superfood smoothie especially great for kids and for those new to raw smoothies, in general. This smoothie is green, made with the superfood blue green algae and an assortment of fresh, sweet fruits, and tastes like a fruity shake! You can actually use this recipe to make a green smoothie when you don’t have [...]

This unique recipe is extremely simple, has a delicious creamy mouth-feel… and is made with cold-pressed olive oil! There is no melting of fat required. You just whip it up in your blender or your food processor, shape it and put into the freezer to firm up, then cut into pieces.  I was reflecting on [...]

Like many raw food enthusiasts, I find that raw, savory comfort food can be a challenge to make on-the-spot, without the use of a dehydrator or nuts. I’ve got nothing against dehydrators and nuts, but my preference is to make savory, non-dehydrated food made fresh with high-water-content foods… meals I can make and eat right away. [...]
