The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Archive for December, 2009

Redolent with garlic and slightly sweet with a bit of raw honey, with the antipasto flavorings of red peper and black olives, this salad will improve wonderfully if allowed to marinated. Great for a raw pot luck or a festive dinner table, and as an explosively flavorful filler for Salad Sandwiches! This is the salad [...]

This is definitely the perfect Lemon Drop — quick-to-make, all-raw ingredients (except the vodka, of course…), and absolutely delish! My Christmas Wish for this elegantly simple recipe is that you pass it around, make it for your friends and family this holiday season, and start incorporating it into your cocktail culture. And if you mention [...]

Simple. Succulent. Gorgeous. Quick. Slightly exotic. My favorite combos. You can make this fresh fruit salad in a jiffy, and if you don’t have pineapple or enough mangos on hand to make the fruit cup, you can use a single ripe mango to make the delicious Mango-Orange Blossom Dressing to put over any fruit you [...]

Lovely smoothie to look at… refreshing to drink. It’s sweet, but not like a dessert, with a bit of limey tang and a very slight savory undertone of red onion and olive oil. Despite the savory ingredients, this Live Green Smoothie is not exotic — even a child would like it. And such a lovely [...]

These look like ordinary nuts, but I assure they are not. This unique recipe coats your favorite nuts in a sweetly savory combination of raw honey, cacao butter, garlic, cumin, and maca, calling up the taste sensation of authentic mexican mole seasonings, tho’ I left out cacao powder to keep them lighter in flavor. Munch [...]
