One of my recommendations when radically jacking up the raw foods in one’s diet with Live Green Smoothies is to make the 3rd quart of the day be a richer, creamier, more nutrient-packed smoothie, often with raw cacao and hemp seeds. But here’s another alternative, without cacao. Rich, creamy, substantial, made with fresh pineapple, banana, [...]
Kumquats are abundant and affordable in my neighborhood grocery stores this time of year. Thing is… what to do with them? Answer: Live Green Smoothies! Kumquats have a delicious citrusy flavor, slightly exotic, and with a very delicate and pleasantly bitter aftertaste (much milder than marmalade) because they are used whole, including the very thin [...]
This is one of those recipes I wish I’d known how to make back when I first encountered the whole raw & living food world. Would have made staying “high-raw” so much easier. This “hummus” is made from raw macadamia nuts and a few other utterly pedestrian ingredients. It takes only a few minutes, and [...]

This unique Live Green Smoothie is a meal, and though you could probably live on the thing, could also easily categorize as either a dessert or a high-test energy drink. Wow.

This sweet and nutty recipe is just zippy-quick…no need to strain the hemp seeds to make a nice creamy milk. You just whip a few ingredients up in your blender, pour over sliced bananas, sprinkle with cinnamon, and you’re eating. Excellent for on-the-go adults (are any of us NOT “on-the-go”??????) and moms looking for truly [...]
This recipe is definitely a Christmas gift to me from my generous culinary muses, who know very well that I’m an unrepentant vanilla whore ever in pursuit of raw vegan recipes that can showcase vanilla the delicious way that milk can. If I were in biblical times, I’d go sacrifice a goat or something in [...]
Warm, comforting, quick (like most of my recipes…), this creamy-white freshly made corn chowder is a great base for other garnishes. Here, blended hemp seeds contribute “milkiness”. And I’ve blended up some sweet red pepper into a small portion of the soup for a garnish. Alternatively, you can leave the soup plain and just garnish [...]
