Take two Utterly Pedestrian produce ingredients, add a wee bit of many of the most common superfoods raw foodie types tend to keep in their pantries, and you’ve got a rich, tasty, uber-nutritious Live Green Smoothie! Starting with apples and fresh cilantro (which lends a rather floral-herbal quality here), we add small amounts each of: [...]
Upon recently making my first trip to Whole Foods in Tampa (oof — the bill!) I was Christmas-morning squealy-happy to find gorgeously white young coconuts tucked into a corner of the produce department, obviously just waiting for me to take them home. It had been ages since I”d come across any on my shopping forays [...]
Frankly, this is a great chocolate to make when you just want chocolate… forget the nuts & nibs. Honestly, when you make a raw chocolate treat like this for the first time and experience and fast and easy it is to make something so satisfyingly delicious, you’ll wonder why you ever made those Peanut M&M [...]
Still one of my all-time favorite ways to start the day! **************************************************** The post below was originally published on my “This Raw Life” blog on March 29, 2009: My New Favorite Raw Breakfast Smoothie… p My Breakfast Smoothie: Papaya, Raspberry, Goji Berry & Lime! p The fuschia color of the smoothie against the orange of [...]
Here is a “blended salad” type of Live Green Smoothie, loaded with salad vegetables, but it’s very mild… not at all like a V-8 cocktail. Goji berries, cold-pressed coconut oil, and a bit of agave nectar (or raw honey) softens and melds the flavors into a gently-flavored smoothie that’s chock-full of good things. With some [...]
After a couple days of over-doing the holiday feasting, this is a great refresher and digestif to help repair some of the damage and get things moving in the right direction again! Goji berries, cold-pressed coconut oil, and either agave nectar or raw honey help mellow out the boldness and bitterness of the grapefruit. After [...]
Two exotic flavors combine luxuriously into a fragrant concoction… for romance, rejuvenation, and longevity. Take your pick for what you need: A whole-food raw, Live Green Smoothie whipped up quickly in your blender, a virgin superfood cocktail made with fresh juice and the healthful power of goji berries… or a full-on cocktail to “get your [...]
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, [...]
The Dream Team Galangal tastes something like ginger, but with a more pungent flavor and with perhaps more heat. Paired with Goji berry, the King of health in Traditional Chinese Medicine (considered its #1 food/herb), the two are like the Dream Team if your energy is lagging. Mango joins them beautifully together. There’s a lot [...]
p I picked up a beautiful bunch of organic lemons this week and thought they’d make a great lemonade…which I incorporated into this extremely wakifying Live Green Smoothie recipe! I juiced the lemons whole through the juicer, which allows me to get all those scrumptiously healthful bioflavanoids in the peel and pith, but you can [...]
