The Live Green Smoothie Diet

A raw smoothie with a bit of red wine, this is festive little drink that takes just a couple minutes to whip up. Got some leftover wine from a party, or a bottle of less-than-stellar plonk you don’t know what to do with? This is a great way to dress it up. Note: You need [...]

This is the type of recipe that is so easily modifiable and so delicious, it could become all the rage in the mainstream if someone would start passing the word about it and making it for friends and family. It’s just delicately, fragrantly wonderful! You can add berries of any kind to create variety… you [...]

Vanilla and macadamia nuts together are just a classic combo. And here, they combine to make a rich, creamy, delicious, mild smoothie, just loaded [...]

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 [...]

Maca root is something I have long-wanted to develop a recipe library for. It’s a tricky ingredient because of its pungent flavor, but its long list of wonderful health benefits quickly inspires the desire to want to take it regularly. You could just dose up on capsules, if that’s your thing. It’s not mine. I [...]

… with a virgin recipe for teetotalers. It’s been awhile since I posted a raw cocktail recipe, and this evening’s frigid temperatures inspired me to whip up something with fresh chiles and a bit of heat.
