Cucumbers are just so great for hydrating, and so great for your skin, and connective tissue, and, well, every aspect of staying fresh & looking young (hah… there’s a commercial in there, somewhere!), and they pair wonderfully with mango here to make a Live Green Smoothie that is only mildly sweet. Add fresh lime juice [...]
I LOVE this dish. At the whole thing, with a fork, no chips, no nothin’ on the side, just this straight-up for my main meal of the day, and it just rocked. Didn’t share a morsel with anyone! I’m famous for needing crunchy side things to feel satisfied when I’m eating very high-raw, but I [...]
Look at these two great Mono-Smoothies using one common garden fruit and another common vegetable. Funny thing about these two… we think of cucumber as a vegetable but in fact it’s a fruit, and we treat rhubarb as a fruit but actually it’s a vegetable! They both make brilliant Mono-Smoothies. Cucumbers are wonderful hydrators and [...]
This milky dressing is light and nicely flavored with fresh garlic and olive oil to stand up to any ingredients you’d like to toss in. Paired very simply with fresh finely-chopped kale and hothouse cucumbers, anything would work in this dish: olive, red peppers, red onion, and pine nuts come to mind as great suggestions. [...]
Pickles are great. So many uses — by themselves, in or with a Salad Sandwich, on the appetizer or dinner table, to munch on with raw, dehydrated flatbreads… as a garnish or condiment off-setting your main course… chopped up in your “raw vegan tuna” avo-sprout sandwich filling… it just goes on and on. I already [...]
This raw smoothie is light, lemony, not-too-sweet, and goes down like nobody’s business! Lasted about the blink of an eye with my marginally-raw twenty-something crew around this evening! They just loved it. This recipe adds yet another cucumber smoothie to your alkalizing, rejuvenating arsenal! Both cucumber and lemon are high on the list of alkalizing [...]
I picked up a beautiful pint of organic cranberries, famously diuretic, high in disease-fighting antioxidant phenols, and certainly fresh and seasonal as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday. Paired here with another diuretic, fresh cucumber, and with mangoes, another fruit rich in antioxidant phenols, and here’s yet another youthifying, healthifying, extremely refreshing smoothie for your LGS [...]
Don’t let the humble appearance and simple ingredients of this smoothie fool you… this is some serious refreshment, and extremely healthifying! Smoothies don’t necessarily need to be dark green or explosively colorful to be wonderful for you (and wonderful-tasting). This smoothie is pure refreshment. You may find yourself drinking the whole blenderful before you even [...]
