The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Day 9 of my Live Green Smoothie 85% Challenge comprised of three all-raw meals, one 32 oz. blenderful of Live Green Smoothies, and a bit of non-raw snackage dispersed in between. The end-result is easily in the vicinity of 85%. What I Ate The Raw Stuff 2 bananas for brekkies LGS of spinach, 2 bananas [...]

Another good day, in the 85% zone, give or take. What I Ate The Raw Stuff Bit of raw honey for early-morning brekkies. Avocado with Salted Honey-Rose Glaze for… let’s call it a late second post-noon breakfast Greek-Style Mushroom-Fresh Corn Wraps for… let’s call it early dinner. 2 blenderfuls of Live Green Smoothies made from [...]

  A tomato, a banana, a green onion… who knew these guys made such a great team? But it’s not so surprising, really… Bananas have been used in all sorts of savory dishes around the world, and tomatoes are technically a fruit. The combo makes me think of fried sweet-banana cuban “maduros” with fresh salsa. [...]

When I served this, the kids at the table loved it… “Looks like blood!” Well, that’s not exactly how I’d put it, but.. yes… it sure is a striking dish. Substitute several mangoes instead of the cantaloupe and you’ll have another gorgeously simple dessert or breakfast option. It’s absolutely company-perfect, and you could probably whip [...]

Some of my favorite moments are when I try something completely new and find it to be so tasty and satisfying that I wish I’d been eating since I was a kid. This is one of those recipes. Don’t let the monochromatic appearance fool you… this is wonderful. Traditional Greek-style seasonings — garlic, fresh mint, [...]

Today was Day 7, and it was great. Another 85%-ish day, even with going out to lunch at a restaurant, and with another 1-1/2 hours doing interval training on the treadmill, plenty of energy, feeling great… and didn’t even feel like making dinner because I’d had enough food, thankyouverymuch. An LGS was all I wanted. [...]

Today was a picture-perfect 85% day. This is what it looks like on the average 85% day. What I Ate The raw stuff: Breakfast was Avocado with Salted Honey-Vanilla Glaze. What a great start. One LGS  (Live Green Smoothie) comprised of watermelon-strawberry-spinach. One LGS comprised of canteloupe-strawberry-spinach, which I brought to the gym in two [...]

Absolutely delicious and as savory and juicy as a buffalo burger… but entirely raw, living, and vegan. Not only that, it’s made from Utterly Pedestrian ingredients, which is currently becoming a theme for the Live Green Smoothie Diet site. The more I “jack up the raw”, the more I crave non-sweet, non-chilled, very-savory dishes. And [...]

  I love the clean lines of this woman’s physique and the purity of her skin. They epitomize to me the natural beauty (no matter one’s age) of eating a high-raw diet… the reason why it’s worth the challenge of adjusting one’s personal “food culture” to adapt to a way of eating that is radically [...]

I love rose water almost as much as I love great vanilla. Almost. And if you’re like me, and you appreciate quick & filling meals that also taste great, you’ll love this combination. Which, by the way, you can also make with either vanilla or orange blossom water instead of the rose water! *swooning on [...]
