The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I drew a long espresso for the start of my day this morning but… never got to it because this great day-starter came along and afterwards the espresso had no appeal! And this lovely fresh beverage was quicker to make than most pots of coffee can brew! Although I drink espresso more for the dark [...]

It’s hot out and you want a light but filling and nutritious meal? This is a great summer cooler-offer. I’m a big fan of nutritious ice creams, and this is a good one. Like a very lemony sorbet with some fresh fennel greens… and made creamy with baby zucchini, which you would never, ever know [...]

Made with all fresh, raw ingredients and bolstered in medicinal power and sweetness with raw honey, this Live Green Smoothie is gently heated up and served frothy and warm, as a tea. No less potent in its green-smoothie-ness, it’s soothing for when you have a scratchy throat, feel under the weather, or just want a [...]

I can pretty much guarantee most of you have never tried something like this before (I never did)… A sweet, lemony Live Green Smoothie served warm, like soup or tea. It’ so comforting, soothing, and warming… and exactly the sort of thing your body needs when it’s battling a cold or flu or allergies. I [...]

I’m a bit puzzled as to what to call this drink. I mean, it’s creamy like hot cocoa, but warming and with the zesty heat of a nightcap. And it’s made like a Warm Live Tea… Well, it’s utterly wonderful for any of those purposes. And in fact, it’s absolutely delicious without being heated up. I wanted [...]

A great thing about Mono-Smoothies is that, as long as you have at least ONE type of fresh fruit, vegetable, or leafy greens in the house… plus a bit of raw honey (or even dates… medjool dates would make brilliant natural sweeteners)… you can crank out a 32-oz (3-quart) batch of Live Smoothies. Take it [...]

With this one recipe you have a few options — with or without greens, super-lemony or just mild, and dessertly sweet or just sweetly average. Personally, I’m partial to With Greens, Super-Lemony, and Quite Sweet to off-set the lemon… but you pick your fave combo! Any way you do it up, tho, it’s a great [...]

If you’re not a drinker, no worries… this is a GREAT combination to enjoy without alcohol! Just wonderful! There is no tangerine in this delicious martini cocktail, but it tastes like pure tangerine. Made of fresh cantaloupe juice with Meyer lemons and fresh orange juice, this cocktail does not taste like cantaloupe in the least! [...]

This is one of those recipes I wish I’d known how to make back when I first encountered the whole raw & living food world. Would have made staying “high-raw” so much easier. This “hummus” is made from raw macadamia nuts and a few other utterly pedestrian ingredients. It takes only a few minutes, and [...]

I am thoroughly persuaded of the healing and healthifying benefits of drinking fresh aloe vera gel, and for this reason the plant is on my Top 5 list for learning how to cultivate at home. Every time I discover another great way to enjoy it in a raw smoothie, I’m blown away by how refreshed [...]
