Now here’s a hot-weather beverage that could really take off. It has the light, truly refreshing quality of iced tea, with the fresh basil having an almost minty accent. Fresh, raw zucchini provides a light, tasteless backdrop for the basil and red grapes for sweetness.

(If you have organic zucchini, make with the skins on and jack up the “green” aspect of your Live Green Smoothie).

I gave a glass of this to my non-raw father to enjoy whilst watching the latest World Cup game. A great refresher after having worked outdoors all morning in the Florida sun.

Well, autumn is beginning to segue into frost season, so I had to bring in the potted basil plant that’s been on my balcony all summer. And those basil leaves looked so enticing on my kitchen counter, I decided to just use them all up in a new Live Green Smoothie recipe!

Paired with fresh lime, fresh aloe vera gel, and a couple other goodies, this whipped up into yet another aromatic and refreshing LGS With Aloe. Am just amazed at how deliciously restorative aloe-based drinks are. I had a couple less-than-stellar days with my diet and wanted to create a potent alkalizing smoothie, one that would really jack up the alkalinity of my system and go a long way to calm any inflammation in my tissues and joints.

For alkalizing, this smoothie means business! The fresh basil (as a living green…), the aloe vera gel, and the lime juice all have potent alkalizing effects, and the basil, aloe, and raw honey all have anti-inflammatory properties. So… after a day of drinking this yummy stuff, I’m already feeling back to my normal self again.

And health properties aside, this smoothie is fragrantly delicious! Truly an excellent one for taking to the gym and the dance studio.
