This being New Year’s Eve, the juiced ingredients in this deceptively mild raw punch cocktail are symbolic for celebrating the New Year. Pomegranate, a symbol since ancient times of gods and royalty, is a symbol of prosperity and fertility to invoke your expectation of wealth and creative vitality. Gorgeously green parsley juice and fresh lime [...]
Former Girl Scout that I am, I’ve quite a few memories of scampering about the Minnesota woods on camping exhibitions equipped with baggies full of homemade “gorp” (a combination of peanuts, raisins, M&Ms, and other portable goodies for munching on-the-fly). Even as a non-camper, it’s a good strategy to make a nice raw equivalent and [...]
This sweet and nutty recipe is just zippy-quick…no need to strain the hemp seeds to make a nice creamy milk. You just whip a few ingredients up in your blender, pour over sliced bananas, sprinkle with cinnamon, and you’re eating. Excellent for on-the-go adults (are any of us NOT “on-the-go”??????) and moms looking for truly [...]
This recipe is definitely a Christmas gift to me from my generous culinary muses, who know very well that I’m an unrepentant vanilla whore ever in pursuit of raw vegan recipes that can showcase vanilla the delicious way that milk can. If I were in biblical times, I’d go sacrifice a goat or something in [...]
Here is a “blended salad” type of Live Green Smoothie, loaded with salad vegetables, but it’s very mild… not at all like a V-8 cocktail. Goji berries, cold-pressed coconut oil, and a bit of agave nectar (or raw honey) softens and melds the flavors into a gently-flavored smoothie that’s chock-full of good things. With some [...]
After a couple days of over-doing the holiday feasting, this is a great refresher and digestif to help repair some of the damage and get things moving in the right direction again! Goji berries, cold-pressed coconut oil, and either agave nectar or raw honey help mellow out the boldness and bitterness of the grapefruit. After [...]
While I’m visiting family in Florida this holiday week, I continue to be inspired by the abundance of fresh citrus that’s available. The grapefruits have caught my eye and I decided that a refreshing fruit salad was in perfect order, due to… er… a little excess feasting with the fam today. Heh. Thing is, while [...]
I’m visiting family in Florida right now for the holidays, and when I saw the giant bowls of freshly picked, home-grown oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and lemons in their kitchen, I knew straightaway that citrus was going to figure prominently in a few of my recipes this week! Then my mom asked me to show her [...]
Warm, comforting, quick (like most of my recipes…), this creamy-white freshly made corn chowder is a great base for other garnishes. Here, blended hemp seeds contribute “milkiness”. And I’ve blended up some sweet red pepper into a small portion of the soup for a garnish. Alternatively, you can leave the soup plain and just garnish [...]
Yumm-ee! Make this warm live soup and quit yer bellyachin’ about “being cold” while trying to “be raw”. It is entirely possible to make deliciously warm soups that are tasty and truly “undenatured” (my officially favorite food-related word, now). Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a 100% rawee. I love a good hot soup that’s [...]
