The Live Green Smoothie Diet

What a great breakfast to power you up! You won’t believe this is made from fresh fruit and vedge… it tastes like dark brownie batter in a bowl, or a rich dark pudding! Kids will love it… chocolate-lovers will love it… and Raw Vegans will slurp it up because it’s warm, creamy, yummy comfort food [...]

Raw vegans, eat your heart out. This is a recipe any chocolate-lovin’ meat-eater will enjoy. You can make this for friends and family and don’t say a word… they’ll never know it’s good for them. And it’s a lot faster than making pudding out of a box! Serve this pudding warm… that’s the point of this [...]

Warm comfort food is not the culinary domain most noted for Raw Vegan cuisine, but this new batch of “hot cereals” is the sort of thing even dedicated non-raw, non-vegans would enjoy. It amazes me how these sort of recipes have potentially been under our noses since the advent of the blender… we just never [...]

This is another “revelation recipe”, the sort of thing one never imagines would be so good, and yet works so very well! This is also one more feather in my cap as far as nailing down another great raw recipe exquisitely highlighting vanilla… a personal quest of mine, since I love vanilla so much, but [...]

Beets aren’t just for slicing and borscht. The work wonderfully in many raw smoothies, and pair brilliantly with both berries and fresh greens to make some winning Live Green Smoothie combinations! Rich in minerals, antioxidants, and the valuable phytonutrients that deep pigmentation gives clue to, this is a beautiful smoothie to give you energy and [...]

Carrots are not just for salads and juicing! Especially if you have a high-powered blender, in which case blending them makes them completely smooth, like a whole-food juice. Carrots, obviously jam-packed with beta carotene, blend brilliantly with fresh berries! And especially strawberries. The result: a deliciously flavored, highly refreshing, wildly nutritious raw smoothie that is [...]

What a beautiful drink. Just looking at this smoothie in your glass, you know it has to be good for you… especially your blood. Whip this one up on Valentine’s Day… or give to your kids and tell them to pretend they’re vampires. Made from fresh beets and mangoes, with a bit of fresh OJ, [...]

This smoothie is knockout gorgeous! I poured it into a tall clear container to keep in the fridge (it didn’t last long…) and drank the rest of it in a tall glass, and just couldn’t believe how radiantly orange it was every time I looked at it. I almost hated to drink it! Almost… Chock-full [...]

This smoothie is great for anyone, but especially for someone new to the Live Green Smoothie world… it is soo fresh-tasting, with hardly any flavor whatsoever except for a slight after-taste of fresh orange juice. Slightly creamy and very smooth, especially when blended in a high-powered blender, anyone just starting out and dipping their toes [...]

Here’s a great basic recipe you can use to help add more fresh greens to your kids’ diet. The avocado in this green smoothie makes it creamy, fresh parsley or baby spinach make it (unwittingly) a salad-in-a-glass, and the strawberries, raw honey, and rose water make it fragrantly sweet in a way kids (well, mine [...]
