The Live Green Smoothie Diet

  Don’t forget to add Raw Macadamia Nuts to your Shopping List! This was one of my first raw foods recipes, and it’s still a favorite of mine. As long as I can find raw macadamia nuts, this also tends to be a staple recipe for me, although that will go out the window when [...]

I’m re-publishing this recipe, which I first posted back in March of 2009, because it is just AMAZINGly delish. One of my readers, Sue, mentioned that she frequently turns to this Banana with Hempseed Milk recipe (quick & easy, no straining required), and it reminded me of one of my all-time favorite recipes, this Vanilla, [...]

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 [...]

My son’s evaluation of this Live Green Smoothie: “You don’t even taste all the greens… it’s so goood!” Lately I’ve been assembling some good Kale recipes for the Newbie Set, and today I wanted to create one with significantly more fresh greens, with the idea that it might be better for someone who’s already been [...]

Boy, was I both surprised and delighted when I discovered how well fresh spinach goes with chocolate; or rather… raw cacao. Parsley goes great with it as well. But spinach is truly brilliant, because it adds no flavor whatsoever, only an exquisite taste of “freshness”. Added to nutrient-rich raw cacao… what a wonderful pairing! These [...]

Want a chocolate chip cookie dough recipe that’s actually GOOD for you? This is it! With raw cacao being king of antioxidants, hemp seeds offering a perfect balance of essential fatty acids (EFAs), the rich minerals and cholesterol-lowering properties of macadamia nuts, the nutritional powerhouse of pine nuts, and the enzymes and healing power of [...]

A delicious, simple, quick, warm, raw, comforting vegan soup recipe full of living enyzmes, protein-building amino acids, and the health-giving properties of essential fatty acids, beta carotene & lycopene. Literally prepare and clean up after this soup within just a few minutes. A warm and satisfying raw-foods meal could hardly be much easier… And the [...]

A delicious, creamy, warm, comforting and satisfying raw vegan soup you can make quickly and easily! Wish I had a camera to photograph this one, but the kids have absconded with it for a party… The creamy surface is a lovely golden sunshine color (actually, think “mac ‘n cheese”) while the body of the soup [...]

Last night I was craving some sorbet and got to snooping around my kitchen to see what ingredients were laying about to satisfy my jonesin’, and ended up assembling an absolutely delicious sorbet from Red Grapes, Apple, Hemp Seed, and Coconut Oil (with added ice, of course). Got me thinking that I’m hardly maximizing the [...]
