The Live Green Smoothie Diet

This is definitely one of the most gorgeously spring-green Live Green Smoothies… a spectacular shade of vitality!

And did you know that people in hot climates tend to eat spicy foods because it makes them sweat and helps keep them cool? What a great drink for the summer months… or even for the cold months, when you want something to heat you up!

It’s also not overwhelmingly spicy, and is actually quite mellow. But… there is enough heat in the recipe that as you drink it, your lips get a nice tingle. If you want to clear your sinuses, you’re going to have to double the jalapeno (or other chiles used).

I made this with parsley, which is my favorite green to pair with mango because they complement each other so nicely! And one of the fun things about parsley is that, when juiced or smoothified and left to sit, it gels up, so this will turn into a nice thick shake-texture after a short while.

This is such a great smoothie. Will be LGsing with this one lots over the summer!

… 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. I picked out a nice fragrant Serrano chile for this Tequilatini, and it gave a delicious flavor of fragrant hot pepper (with not a little bit of heat) to this blend of dark tequila, lime, mango, and a few other goodies. Pick out your own chile… Jalapeño, Habañero… whatever’s your fave.

This would be great in hot weather, too… the heat allegedly makes you sweat and cools you off. But tonight, as the temps sink ever closer to zero… I appreciate the sweating for the warmth of it.
