The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Upon recently making my first trip to Whole Foods in Tampa (oof — the bill!)

It had been ages since I”d come across any on my shopping forays [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Redolent with garlic and slightly sweet with a bit of raw honey, with the antipasto flavorings of red peper and black olives, this salad will improve wonderfully if allowed to marinated.

Feeling a bit run-down, surrounded by sneezers and coughers, or needing to compensate for nasty eating habits of late? Call in “The Immuzer”. This salad is made with mineral-rich alkalizing kale, it’s doused in garlic (famed for ages for being able to knock pretty much anything unwanted out of your system) and finished off with [...]

This Live Green Smoothie is exactly what I love so much about these delicious drinks — it’s simple, basic, and with the end product being so completely different from what you’d expect from the ingredients involved. It’s not too sweet, but “just right”. It’s not too green, but “just right”. It’s the very essence of [...]

Sometimes ya just want a bowl of greens without much fuss, and here’s one way to do’em up. This salad has the explosive flavors of lemon and fresh garlic in a traditional Greek dressing with oregano and cold-pressed olive oil, a flavor combination used in many Greek dishes.
