A raw smoothie with a bit of red wine, this is festive little drink that takes just a couple minutes to whip up. Got some leftover wine from a party, or a bottle of less-than-stellar plonk you don’t know what to do with? This is a great way to dress it up. [private] Recipe for: Frozen [...]
One of my recommendations when radically jacking up the raw foods in one’s diet with Live Green Smoothies is to make the 3rd quart of the day be a richer, creamier, more nutrient-packed smoothie, often with raw cacao and hemp seeds. But here’s another alternative, without cacao. Rich, creamy, substantial, made with fresh pineapple, banana, [...]
Kumquats are abundant and affordable in my neighborhood grocery stores this time of year. Thing is… what to do with them? Answer: Live Green Smoothies! Kumquats have a delicious citrusy flavor, slightly exotic, and with a very delicate and pleasantly bitter aftertaste (much milder than marmalade) because they are used whole, including the very thin [...]
This is the type of recipe that is so easily modifiable and so delicious, it could become all the rage in the mainstream if someone would start passing the word about it and making it for friends and family. It’s just delicately, fragrantly wonderful! You can add berries of any kind to create variety… you [...]
This is one of those recipes I wish I’d known how to make back when I first encountered the whole raw & living food world. Would have made staying “high-raw” so much easier. This “hummus” is made from raw macadamia nuts and a few other utterly pedestrian ingredients. It takes only a few minutes, and [...]

This recipe is for my non-teetotaler readers. Enjoy without booze if you prefer, but the recipe below is for a nice pitcher of antioxidant-rich “Weekend’s Here” festivity. Made with fresh raspberries and blueberries, this lovely blended vodka “martini” is refreshing and just-sweet-enough. A nice way to enjoy the end of the work week. [private] Recipe for: Mixed Berry “Martini” A Lovely [...]
One glass of this and I felt warm and ready for… well, for somethin’! A night of dancing, I’d say, if it weren’t already 11pm on a Thursday night. This is a delicious, non-fat, low-cal, energizing drink you can make a few different ways. Made with fresh lime juice and raw cane sugar as I [...]
This dressing is redolent — as they say — with garlic, and slightly sweet from medjool dates. And utterly scrumptious! If there are dressings that can make restaurants famous… and if I were a restaurant… I suspect this dressing would make me famous. What a fun idea. Ya simply gotta make it. Even if it [...]
