The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Since moving from New Jersey to Tampa, I’ve had to enlist a whole new crew of tasters of my recipes. Conveniently, my little nephews are 11 and 14 years old,not in the least “raw”, and thus perfect candidates in my mind for some good recipe feedback. I loved little 11-yr-old Jayson’s response… “Wow, this is gooooood! [...]

This is a serious beta carotene blast with explosive ginger flavor! And it retains a smooth, creamy texture in the freezer, unlike many raw sorbets which get kinda “sharp” and hard pretty quickly. I made a Ginger Float outa my portion… I scooped some of the Carrot-Mango-Ginger sorbet into a bowl and poured some of [...]

Raw sorbets commonly get “sharp” and crystalline when frozen. This one however remains smooth and creamy, without the use of any nut milks or oils. It’s also naturally sweet enough that you don’t have to add a sweetener, if you prefer to minimize the sweets (in fact, it has a faintly “grapefruit” freshness without grapefruits [...]

What a lovely texture… and you can whip this up in minutes! Easy ingredients, all fresh, all wholesome… and there’s no way you’ll find this combination in any store! Fresh mango paired with fresh blueberries, quality vanilla (in this case, some richly fragrant vanilla from Mexico) and natural sweetener whips up lickety-split in your blender [...]

Got a mint plant out back that tends to rage out of control and want to know what to do with it? Start making Live Green Smoothies with it! Paired with some raw cacao powder, avocado, banana and a few other ingredients, you’ll have a deliciously creamy LGS, or even frozen “milk” shake if you [...]

… and not that ground-up cauliflower “mashed potatoes” raw foodists try to pass off as the real thing. One thing I’ve said is that, if you want real mashed potatoes, just have the real cooked thing as it will never be possible in the raw world. Well, today I’m eating my words. If you’re a [...]

What a great breakfast to power you up! You won’t believe this is made from fresh fruit and vedge… it tastes like dark brownie batter in a bowl, or a rich dark pudding! Kids will love it… chocolate-lovers will love it… and Raw Vegans will slurp it up because it’s warm, creamy, yummy comfort food [...]

Raw vegans, eat your heart out. This is a recipe any chocolate-lovin’ meat-eater will enjoy. You can make this for friends and family and don’t say a word… they’ll never know it’s good for them. And it’s a lot faster than making pudding out of a box! Serve this pudding warm… that’s the point of this [...]

This is another “revelation recipe”, the sort of thing one never imagines would be so good, and yet works so very well! This is also one more feather in my cap as far as nailing down another great raw recipe exquisitely highlighting vanilla… a personal quest of mine, since I love vanilla so much, but [...]

This smoothie is great for anyone, but especially for someone new to the Live Green Smoothie world… it is soo fresh-tasting, with hardly any flavor whatsoever except for a slight after-taste of fresh orange juice. Slightly creamy and very smooth, especially when blended in a high-powered blender, anyone just starting out and dipping their toes [...]
