(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 [...]
The blood oranges are abundant in the grocery store lately, and they just beckoned for some cocktail action. This recipe is a twist on the classic Screwdriver, with a custom juice blend to provide the right amount of sweetness and lemony “zing”. What is a Blood Orange? As the name suggests (the photos here demonstrate), [...]
If you’re like me, you frequently pass by the Exotic Fruits section at the grocery store and survey with wonder at some of the cool stuff lining the bins… but then keep on walking, because what does one actually do with these things, other than slice them up and use them as garnish? It’s not [...]
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 [...]
Alas, I could hardly get a taste of this yummy smoothie, as the Marginally Raw Twenty-Somethings in my home absconded with the majority of it. I always take that as a very good sign. Luscious, creamy, and a bit tart… and would do well with the addition of some fresh parsley or spinach to make [...]
What a lovely way to wake up! This beautifully sunny glass is full of Vitamin C, whole-food fiber, and the alkalizing, energizing, soothing power of fresh aloe vera gel! Add a bit of rose water (or orange blossom water… your pick), and you’ve got a light, refreshing day-starter with a wee bit of exotic appeal. And for [...]
What a wonderfully luscious breakfast smoothie! Ridiculously creamy, extremely mild, low in sugar (you might want to add some additional sweet fruit or raw honey if you’re craving some sweet)… and slightly exotic due to the bit of Orange Blossom Water that finishes it off. What, you say… you still haven’t picked yourself up a [...]
You can use this one recipe to make any kind of fruited “soda” out of Kombucha. Use mango, berries, pear, persimmon… anything you can think of, to flavor either your homemade or store-bought kombucha. You can learn more about Kombucha (a low-sugar sparkling beverage made from sweetened sweet tea) and how to make it here. [...]
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 [...]
This is one of those smoothies that makes me wonder why in the world, when beverages like this are so easy to whip up, do most people spend their days drinking diet sodas and other drinks filled with chemicals, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup. People soooo need to learn how to whip drinks up [...]
