If only kids drank this instead of milk. Or teenagers instead of Red Bull!  The “engine” of this drink are the polysaccharides in the fresh Aloe Vera Gel — they give a great long-lasting fuel, with the sweetness in the bananas giving a quick energy lift. The flavor is light, the texture is creamy without [...]

Bobby’s “Apple-Mojito” Raw Cocktail

This Holiday Stuffing recipe has all the classic hallmarks of classic breaded Thanksgiving stuffing, flavored with apples, celery, onion, a bit of cranberry, and seasoned with thyme. And it’s warm, as well… or at the very least, you can easily take the chill off the fresh ingredients. The difference here is, it’s juicy, there is [...]

This relish is sweet, it’s tart, it’s festive, and just the perfect compliment to almost any kind of Thanksgiving meal you might serve up. My twenty-something kids both give it thumbs up: [...]

Feeling a bit run-down, surrounded by sneezers and coughers, or needing to compensate for nasty eating habits of late? Call in “The Immuzer”. This salad is made with mineral-rich alkalizing kale, it’s doused in garlic (famed for ages for being able to knock pretty much anything unwanted out of your system) and finished off with [...]

This pretty smoothie looks like a strawberry milkshake, and tastes rather like one as well! You would almost… almost… not know that it’s made with cranberries and not strawberries, but there is a slight cranberry flavor finish and makes it’s way through the deliciously sweet, creamy richness. This is definitely a dessert raw smoothie, when [...]
