Why isn’t tomato paired with tangerine more frequently, I wonder? It’s a great combination… gorgeous on the plate, and the sweetness of the tangerine pairs so nicely with the acid in the tomatoes! This particular recipe has so many uses. You can serve as-is. You can add fresh greens and toss for a green salad, [...]
… and not that ground-up cauliflower “mashed potatoes” raw foodists try to pass off as the real thing. One thing I’ve said is that, if you want real mashed potatoes, just have the real cooked thing as it will never be possible in the raw world. Well, today I’m eating my words. If you’re a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
My new favorite… creamy but light, gingery and fresh… just wonderful. And what a gorgeous shade of spring green! Definitely appropriate for the season, with the trees still springing into that lovely “green haze” before all the leaves pop full out. Utterly pedestrian ingredients picked up fresh at your local grocer’s yield such a surprisingly [...]
This extremely creamy, delicious warm cacao drink isn’t made with any kind of milk (whether from dairy, almond, or hemp seeds) and is made with fresh baby spinach and avocado. This hot cocoa happens to also be a Live Green Smoothie chock FULL of antioxidants and magnesium (which you believe it’s the chocolate that actually trumps the [...]
Lately, I’ve been drinking my Live Green Smoothies warm. It’s been soothing, comforting, and energizing, and an excellent beverage in the evenings. This tea, warm but still “raw” (not cooked) and very much “living”, makes an excellent nightcap. The color of a nice juicy shiraz or cabernet, this Blueberry-Grape Warm Live Tea has the kind of [...]
Growing up in Minnesota in the 70s, I was a hard-core Girl Scout, complete with uniform, camping, badges… the whole nine yards. And one of the staple recipes that Girl Scout moms of that era new how to make was something called “Russian Tea”, a blend of Tang with instant Iced Tea mix and sweet spices [...]
(Above: Watermelon-Ginger Warm Live Tea) I bet you’ve never had watermelon like this before! And what a great way to enjoy it. Warm Live Teas are like Warm Live Soups in that they are smoothies made of raw ingredients which are then warmed briefly to a soothing temperature that’s almost hot to the tongue, but comfortable [...]
I love savory fruit salads, especially when the weather warms up. This one uses just a few completely pedestrian ingredients to give you something that’s both juicy and luscious. My son’s summation: “This salad is awesome.” You could feast on this quite satisfyingly for supper, but I could have this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [...]
