The Live Green Smoothie Diet

This is still one of my faves! It’s chocolate with a KA-POW!!! flavor, intense and spicy (made with cayenne). Most of the “best” brand names of dark chocolate taste like plastic compared to this… Hope you enjoy. The Best Dark Chocolate You Ever Had… Made With Raw Cacao!

Anyone who is familiar with my site knows I am not a proponent of adding protein powders and other heavily processed ingredients to Live Green Smoothies, unless they are of a very high quality, low-temp-processed, and genuinely “superfood” in nature, such as hemp seeds, marine phytoplankton, and quality super-green powders. In fact, the massive array [...]

Am currently working on creating some good breakfast recipes with crunch and texture, to redirect my morning inclination for bready things. This dish, with the satisfying crunch of raw cacao nibs combined with a creamy fudge pudding, works for me. And… it’s not too sweet. Just a bit. Would make a nice light supper as [...]

Got a mint plant out back that tends to rage out of control and want to know what to do with it? Start making Live Green Smoothies with it! Paired with some raw cacao powder, avocado, banana and a few other ingredients, you’ll have a deliciously creamy LGS, or even frozen “milk” shake if you [...]

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 [...]

A Live-Green Chocolate Tea? Yep! This is warm raw cacao blended with fresh spinach and grapes to make a comforting but perky refresher. It doesn’t have the rich creaminess of this Live Green Hot Chocolate; instead it’s light and refreshing, with the wonderful dark-cacao pick-you-up flavor of chocolate. Blend it in your blender, like you do [...]

You’ll be so surprised how this tastes… no one would ever suspect that there’s fresh, raw zucchini in it! Talk about a reason to over-plant your garden with squash this year! You can even make this rich, creamy smoothie utterly non-fat… or luscious-it-up with a bit of raw cacao butter, which really makes a fabulous [...]

Raw chocolate and raw maca go together brilliantly. I already have a “ChocoMacaVerde” Live Green Smoothie recipe on my site for pairing those two, and you can also add a teaspoon or raw maca powder to my Liquid Brownie recipe for spectacular results. Now here’s a third option, one without hemp seeds or avocado, but [...]

Frankly, this is a great chocolate to make when you just want chocolate… forget the nuts & nibs. Honestly, when you make a raw chocolate treat like this for the first time and experience and fast and easy it is to make something so satisfyingly delicious, you’ll wonder why you ever made those Peanut M&M [...]

If you haven’t yet tried any of the smoothies I’ve been whipping up lately with fresh aloe vera gel, maybe this will be the one to send you over the edge and buy a handful of aloe vera leaves at your local grocery store. I’d like to say that this is my favorite one, but the [...]
