The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Archive for the ‘Main Dishes’ Category

If the last recipe I posted, an amazingly juicy & satisfying ”meat substitute” out of Mushrooms, is the “Meat” in your living-foods equation, this dish is the “potatoes”… a comforting, filling, satisfying starch dish that will leave you feeling grounded and full. I love fresh, just-picked corn off the cob in recipes because it has so [...]

This is a potential life-changing, culture-changing recipe, one I wish I knew how to make back in April 2005 when I first embarked on a journey of discovery with raw and living foods. You could be a meat-eater and eat this instead of meat, and be satisfied. That is not only my own sentiment, but [...]

Oh for a bit of jalapeño and a handful of cilantro! They would make this salad just over-the-top yummy, yet my fridge was bare of these two staples. Even so… I mangia-ed this entire recipe for my dinner and it was wonderfully satisfying! Crunchy, juicy, sweet, with some of the comforting squoosh from the bananas [...]

Ho ho ho, this is great. If you are like me and crave rich, satisfying, savory, even “meaty” meals (tho they be raw and enlivening), things you can eat with a fork and not need anything else to round out the meal, this is it. Similar to yesterday’s recipe, another “Caesar” salad concoction, this one [...]

And don’t miss checking out this recipe for a Mushroom “Caesar” Salad, one of the best recipes on this whole site, IMHO. Yah, okay… so there’s no egg in this. And no parm. And no anchovy. And there’s tomato in it. But believe me when I tell you, if you love Caesar Salads, you’ll love [...]

This recipe is a basic one to enjoy as-is (it’s delicious and so easy!), or you can add whatever your favorite little extras you’d like, such as chopped sweet red pepper, fresh herbs, fresh corn off the cob, or jalapeno and cilantro. It’s so versatile, very mellow and comforting, and when the weather is cold [...]

Another recipe that reflects the exquisite simplicity when following nature’s natural measuring system: “one tomato, one avocado, one banana, on green onion…” Banana Guacamole? Is anyone else doing this? Surely it must have been done before, I just never heard of it. Wish I had heard of it sooner. It’s delicious. And with the amount [...]

  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. [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
