The Live Green Smoothie Diet

(Above: Pear-Ginger Warm Live Tea) Warm Live Teas are similar to Warm Live Soups… they’re smoothies made from raw ingredients, then briefly warmed up without cooking them. But in this case, the teas are sweet. And so delicious. Instead of having a decaf herbal tea flavored with the essence of fruit, just make a warm tea [...]

(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 [...]

Click here to see more fabulously healthifying Mono-Smoothie recipes! I happened to catch a bit of the Dr. Oz show earlier this week and saw him speaking on the subject of the list of foods he has assigned to his “Anti-Cancer Diet“, and he was highlighting three foods I’ve mentioned more than once here on [...]

A great thing about Mono-Smoothies is that, as long as you have at least ONE type of fresh fruit, vegetable, or leafy greens in the house… plus a bit of raw honey (or even dates… medjool dates would make brilliant natural sweeteners)… you can crank out a 32-oz (3-quart) batch of Live Smoothies. Take it [...]

These Mono-Smoothies are a revelation, and something I’ll be drilling into my kids over the next year, as they have determined that this is the year which they want to learn all about how to navigate the kitchen and feed themselves (and their prospective guests in the future) under the auspices of their own acquired [...]

With this one recipe you have a few options — with or without greens, super-lemony or just mild, and dessertly sweet or just sweetly average. Personally, I’m partial to With Greens, Super-Lemony, and Quite Sweet to off-set the lemon… but you pick your fave combo! Any way you do it up, tho, it’s a great [...]

Zucchini contributes a respectable bit of protein to this Live Green Smoothie, accounting for its its creamy texture (high-protein foods like goji berries, hemp seeds, and broccoli are well-known for contributing creaminess to smoothies). In addition, if you peel your Zucchini, it adds no taste to your LGS (and for you weight-conscious folk, hardly any [...]

This recipe is very much like Live Green Soda Pop. Only waaaay more refreshing and infinitely more healthifying! A friend mentioned making “live green Coke” earlier today, and it got me thinking… “Gee, I’ve got this giant vat of homemade Kombucha in my fridge right now. And I haven’t used it for an LGS because…?????” [...]

This extremely mild, sunny-flavored smoothie is in response to two requests this week for various ways to increase Vitamin C. So add this to your list of rejuvenating, immune system- boosting, beta carotene rich raw smoothies. And just add some fresh greens to make it a Live Green Smoothie! Papaya is just tops for enhancing [...]

One of my recommendations when radically jacking up the raw foods in one’s diet with Live Green Smoothies is to make the 3rd quart of the day be a richer, creamier, more nutrient-packed smoothie, often with raw cacao and hemp seeds. But here’s another alternative, without cacao. Rich, creamy, substantial, made with fresh pineapple, banana, [...]
