Naturally sweet and robustly warming with a good heap of fresh ginger root, you can also had some fresh baby spinach or parsley to make this a warm Live Green smoothie-tea. This is definitely one of my favorite Warm Live Teas. It’s unexpectedly creamy — something about the watermelon, I’ve observed, when you smoothify it. [...]

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 [...]

Dark tequila contributes it’s own reputed “medicinal vibe” and delicious flavor, and Kombuch adds a champagne-like sparkle and zesty tang. Add some fresh mango and a bit of orange peel and fresh orange juice and… it’s a [...]

It’ so comforting, soothing, and warming… and exactly the sort of thing your body needs when it’s battling a cold or flu or allergies. I [...]

I’m a bit puzzled as to what to call this drink. I mean, it’s creamy like hot cocoa, but warming and with the zesty heat of a nightcap. And it’s made like a Warm Live Tea… Well, it’s utterly wonderful for any of those purposes. And in fact, it’s absolutely delicious without being heated up. I wanted [...]

My son Curran’s comment while tucking into a second cup of this tea with a friend: “How many pink drinks do you know that are healthy for you? …Pepto Bismol does not count!” These new Warm Live Teas that I’m making are a big hit at home, and this one is just fabulous! Gorgeously colorful, [...]

I doubt you’ve ever had avocado this way before. And you wouldn’t know that’s what makes it so creamy unless I told you. Enjoy it warm, like a Warm Live Tea or Hot Chocolate, and enjoy the mild, smooth, cozy, comforting vanilla-ness, a combined sensation that is quite unlike anything else found in the world [...]

(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 [...]
