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, [...]

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 [...]

One of my recommendations when radically jacking up the raw foods in one’s diet with Live Green Smoothies is to make the 3rd quart of the day be a richer, creamier, more nutrient-packed smoothie, often with raw cacao and hemp seeds. But here’s another alternative, without cacao. Rich, creamy, substantial, made with fresh pineapple, banana, [...]

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 [...]

Make this tasty raw smoothie either without fresh greens: Or throw some fresh greens in to make it a refreshing Carrot Cake “Live Green Smoothie”: If you enjoy Carrot Cake, you’ll like this raw smoothie! Refreshing, mildly sweet, a little bit tart, quite creamy from blended raw macadamia nuts… made with carrots, apple, raisins, good [...]

Fast. Non-fat, except for whatever macadamia nuts you throw on top. Quick. Made from just a few basic ingredients. Filling. Delicious. If there are a few raw quick-meals you want to learn, something like this should be in the Top 10. You can whip this up for a filling breakfast that will definitely last through [...]

This unique Live Green Smoothie is a meal, and though you could probably live on the thing, could also easily categorize as either a dessert or a high-test energy drink. Wow. Vanilla and macadamia nuts together are just a classic combo. And here, they combine to make a rich, creamy, delicious, mild smoothie, just loaded [...]

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 [...]

This recipe just explodes with flavor. I’ll remember to make a double-batch next time, because once the twenty-somethings came round, they were practically licking the bowl to get up every last drop. Almost felt bad I’d eaten so much of it for dinner. Uh…almost. p Eggplant… Tricky For Some Sensitive Eaters I’ve always had a [...]
