The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Iceberg lettuce gets such a bad rap, and to be truthful, I rarely use it. Though going forward I think that will change because this was a wonderful dinner this evening and really hit the spot. It was flavorful but not explosively so, more in a comforting way, and as we know, “raw comfort food” [...]

Being Prepared Makes All The Difference When Jacking Up The Raw Having just now returned with a sizeable haul from the grocery store, and having experienced a challenging food day yesterday because of lack of The Proper Things in the kitchen, I’m reminded how much preparedness is critical when endeavoring to “jack up the raw”. [...]

Safely hit the 90+% raw zone today, Day 3. No that’s not me in the photo. But got your attention, ay? What I Ate I made 5 LGSs today comprised of the following… and drank 3 LGSs worth, which leaves me a good headstart for tomorrow morning, Day 4: 2/3 container baby spinach 1 large [...]

Talk about a quick and uncomplicated dinner…! Alas, I’m munching it for lunch, as is my son, and my mother… so, there’s nothing left of it for dinner! This is a dish to eat with a fork, at room temperature. Don’t chill it. Let the air, even the sun, warm it a bit, and enjoy [...]

Day 2 of my own Live Green Smoothie 85% Challenge went well… around 85-90%. What I Ate Turns out I musta made far more yesterday in the way of LSGs than I thought, because there was plenty for today without having to make new. I use the tall containers shown in the pic above to [...]

One of my absolute favorite raw recipes is my Savoy Cabbage/Tomato/Almond Butter Salsa/Chopped Salad. It’s a mouthful, I know, and suffers from an identify crisis when it comes to its name because it can be Just So Many Things! A salsa to enjoy with raw chips or organic tortilla chips… a great filling for a [...]

Who knew that raw broccoli could be so tender? And when paired with this slight sweet Creamy “Ranch” dressing, it’s sweet and almost juicy. And you can make the dressing by itself and use as a dip or sandwich spread. My 20-yr-old enjoyed nibbling this right along with me. So much for raw green vedge [...]

Not bad at all for Day 1, considering it wasn’t until mid-afternoon, really, that I decided to do this. I’d say… meh… around 65% raw is a good estimate. But nothing but Live Green Smoothies after 1:30! What I Ate For brekkies and lunch… some odd choices, not at all meals I normally turn to but… [...]

Refreshing, easy, quick, alkalizing, great for your skin… what are you waiting for? This recipe is a snap. Make one blenderful with 1/2 of a cantaloupe, a second with the other 1/2, maybe adding some fresh berries for variation, and you’ll have your first two blenderfuls done for the day! They go down *sooooooo* easily, [...]

Bet you never had watermelon and broccoli together before! After this recipe, it might become a fave for ya. This recipe is sweet, crunchy, filling, and substantial. A great one for anyone watching their weight, that’s for sure. You’ll be so surprised how well watermelon and broccoli go together when treated this way! Note: You [...]
