The Live Green Smoothie Diet

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 [...]

My new favorite… creamy but light, gingery and fresh… just wonderful. And what a gorgeous shade of spring green! Definitely appropriate for the season, with the trees still springing into that lovely “green haze” before all the leaves pop full out. Utterly pedestrian ingredients picked up fresh at your local grocer’s yield such a surprisingly [...]

Two things I like when I’m eating… something warm and something I can enjoy with a fork, not just drink. And this simple broth brings both together, quickly, inexpensively, and very comfortingly. You can make this broth very mild… or extremely spicy! Make as-is, or jack up with garlic, fresh chiles, and fresh miso or [...]

If you’re a lover of savory fruit salads, here’s a good one, sweet with juicy pineapple, chewy with finely chopped kale, and pungent with both garlic and fresh ginger. A bit of fresh orange juice… and raw macadamia nuts to make a dense, almost mayonnaise-texture dressing… and this becomes an extremely versatile dish. You can [...]

Mono-Smoothies simply rawk! I haven’t been so excited about something related to food since the advent of Live Green Smoothies. They are easy, cheap, fast… and did I say cheap? For anyone who is on a tight budget and still wants to eat maximally healthy, adding some Mono-Smoothies every day will definitely make a difference! [...]

One glass of this and I felt warm and ready for… well, for somethin’! A night of dancing, I’d say, if it weren’t already 11pm on a Thursday night. This is a delicious, non-fat, low-cal, energizing drink you can make a few different ways. Made with fresh lime juice and raw cane sugar as I [...]

A shout out to Melinda Chiavelli, who asked for a smoothie recipe made with apples. This is for you, doll. This tasty smoothie has got ZING and HEAT from fresh lemon juice and lots of fresh ginger root! Woo-hoo! It’s not too sweet… “just sweet enuf”… and you can certainly make it with or without [...]

My son Auden is the Carrot-Goji Smoothie King, regularly combining these two into smoothies for himself and his friends. I can’t say I was ever much into carrot-based smoothies until I tried his concoctions, so let it be known he’s the official inspiration for this very yummy ginger-goji smoothie recipe! If you like ginger ale, [...]
