The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I must be doing something right in the kitchen, because here’s another recipe I just wasn’t fast enough to grab my portion! Sure, as the chef de cuisine, I get my taste, but so often everything disappears before I can settle down for a good munch! In this case, my son scurried away with two [...]

At times this is a staple in our house. It’s just so brainlessly easy to make, and so ridiculously delicious, I love having it on the table to go owith whatever else is rummaged up. Fresh papaya is so succulent and rich… like juicy butter! It’s such a wonder that it has no fat in [...]

This is another sorbet recipe given texture (but no fat) by using fresh zucchini! I love this sorbet for breakfast. I’m partial to papaya in the morning, so this makes a great recipe to keep in the freezer for a refreshing start to the day! The mango gives more body and substance… and certainly  makes [...]

My son Curran’s comment while tucking into a second cup of this tea with a friend: “How many pink drinks do you know that are healthy for you? …Pepto Bismol does not count!” These new Warm Live Teas that I’m making are a big hit at home, and this one is just fabulous! Gorgeously colorful, [...]

Alas, I could hardly get a taste of this yummy smoothie, as the Marginally Raw Twenty-Somethings in my home absconded with the majority of it. I always take that as a very good sign. Luscious, creamy, and a bit tart… and would do well with the addition of some fresh parsley or spinach to make [...]

Thinly sliced, crisp slices of pear tossed with succulent, lusciously juicy red papaya… tossed with the exotic nuance of rose water, with a bit of raw sugar for slight crunch… what a great starter course for any meal, and a lovely one for Valentine’s! Pair with this Pink Pussycat Martini and you’ve got a great [...]

Who said salsas have to have tomato in them? Certainly not me… Papaya makes a great substitute for tomato in a salsa! This fresh, all-raw recipe would make for an interesting change of pace the next time you entertain. For my part… I ate it all up just as you see, and it made quite [...]

What a wonderfully luscious breakfast smoothie! Ridiculously creamy, extremely mild, low in sugar (you might want to add some additional sweet fruit or raw honey if you’re craving some sweet)… and slightly exotic due to the bit of Orange Blossom Water that finishes it off. What, you say… you still haven’t picked yourself up a [...]

This extremely mild, sunny-flavored smoothie is in response to two requests this week for various ways to increase Vitamin C. So add this to your list of rejuvenating, immune system- boosting, beta carotene rich raw smoothies. And just add some fresh greens to make it a Live Green Smoothie! Papaya is just tops for enhancing [...]

This is one of those smoothies that makes me wonder why in the world, when beverages like this are so easy to whip up, do most people spend their days drinking diet sodas and other drinks filled with chemicals, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup. People soooo need to learn how to whip drinks up [...]
