The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Archive for June, 2010

Super-quick, super-flavorful, and made with Utterly Pedestrian ingredients so easy to keep on hand! Enjoy without the meatballs — super-delish on its own, over “noodles” or “spaghetti” made from fresh, raw baby zucchini — or make a side of meatballs for a heartier repast! And even if you make the whole Spaghetti & Meatball affair… [...]

  And the theme for more savory, “meaty” raw and living food options continues… “Meaty” dishes in the raw vegan world usually entail one (or both) of the following: mushrooms or dehydration. My project this week is to expand upon the meaty options not using either of these options. Because, in the mission to expand [...]

I just love fresh, jumbo Medjool dates. Not when ground up and mixed into nut balls or energy bars… blech. In fact, I loathe those sorts of things, where the almost-juicy quality of the dates is destroyed by over-processing. No, dates are best enjoyed whole, where their lovely succulence can be enjoyed full-on. I’ve said [...]

When you can make something quick and easy like this, forget oatmeal and any of the other hot cereals out there. This is the kind of dish that kids will go crazy over… and I mean crazy-crazy. It tastes like warm vanilla cake batter. Forget kids… how many adults do you know who still love [...]

Want something warm, savory, starchy and comforting to go with your amazing “Mushroom Tapenade” dinner tonight? You can make this gently-warmed-but-still-raw “polenta” using corn freshly cut from the cob! Probably takes no more than 5 minutes to make, including cutting the corn off, so — as nearly all of the recipes on this site are [...]

This is definitely one of the most gorgeously spring-green Live Green Smoothies… a spectacular shade of vitality! And did you know that people in hot climates tend to eat spicy foods because it makes them sweat and helps keep them cool? What a great drink for the summer months… or even for the cold months, [...]

I must be doing something right in the kitchen, because here’s another recipe I just wasn’t fast enough to grab my portion! Sure, as the chef de cuisine, I get my taste, but so often everything disappears before I can settle down for a good munch! In this case, my son scurried away with two [...]

If you have key limes around, use those for an even more fragrant limey flavor! You can increase the amount of lime I’ve used, but as it is here, it’s not too powerfuly… it’s a delicate, mild, soothing dish. This would also be great with Orange Blossom water!!! This makes a great quick dessert or [...]

(There was so much interest in this recipe, from readers who wanted to jack up the amount of broccoli in their diet, that I brought this recipe out of the members-only area and have made it public for everyone.) Yah, I know… who thinks about Broccoli and Vanilla in the same breath? Hah, well… clearly [...]

I want to continue adding some “zero-point” Live Green Smoothie recipes (pretty much “blended salads” without fruit or fat) as an option for my readers who are partial to Weight Watchers. These smoothies are of course all going to taste a bit better with some sweetness and/or some fat, so customize however you’d like. But [...]

  • current and all older versions of cccam: WOW just what I was searching for. Came here by searching for raw
  • Angela Leeds: When I put these in the oven, it is only for a few minutes and they never reach temps above 118-120. The plate should remain comfortable to the touch,
  • Angela Leeds: I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe, GreensGirl! I love when non-raw/non-vegan people love these recipes! I would try them out on my parents and my ki
