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 eat this straight, as a salad. You can use this as a salad sandwich filling. It makes a wonderful salsa-like dip for raw crackers or organic tortilla chips. And would be a colorful and unique side dish for a buffet or raw pot luck!

Not the best salad to munch before going out dancing, though.

These Mono-Smoothies are a revelation, and something I’ll be drilling into my kids over the next year, as they have determined that this is the year which they want to learn all about how to navigate the kitchen and feed themselves (and their prospective guests in the future) under the auspices of their own acquired knowledge.

Live Green Smoothies and raw smoothies may be super-easy, but these Mono-Smoothies are in a whole new category of easy! Complete and utter no-brainers.

And they are DELICIOUS… light, sweetly refreshing, and just the very essence of freshness!

And Not Only Are They Both Delicious & Easy… They’re Cheap, Too!

And for anyone who has a concern about the cost of radically jacking up the raw and living fruits, vedgies, and greens in their diet, being able to make use of this easy smoothie-making technique will be a budget-saver!

I’m introducing 4 Mono-Smoothie recipes here, and I have 4 more to follow… and I will be sharing boatloads in the coming days so that my readers and subscribers truly gain an understanding of how valuable and useable the Mono-Smoothie concept is.

What do you need to make a Mono-Smoothie?

To make a Mono-Smoothie, you need a single kind of fruit, vegetable, or green (fresh and uncooked should go without saying…), some raw honey, spring water, and ice (ice is optional, according to your preference).

If you don’t want to use raw honey, that’s your business — do what works for you. But I’m an advocate of raw honey and all things made by bees. It is not “just another sugar” (can’t in any way compare with white sugar in my opinion, sorry).

It is rich with living enzymes, is a natural anti-inflammatory agent (read up on its helpful effects for people with asthma and arthritis), and has been famed for ages for its health-promoting, longevity-enhancing, and various healing properties. It is also included in a list within the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) paradigm of foods that are recommended, as a part of “food therapy”, for diminishing candida-causing yeast and mold in the body.

I use raw honey generously. You use it according to your own taste and health requirements.

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 combination. Super way to take advantage of the yummy pineapples and Meyer lemons currently overflowing the grocery bins!

A raw smoothie with a bit of red wine, this is festive little drink that takes just a couple minutes to whip up. Got some leftover wine from a party, or a bottle of less-than-stellar plonk you don’t know what to do with? This is a great way to dress it up.

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, cold-pressed coconut oil and raw macadamia nuts, this would also make an excellent breakfast on a day you know you’re not going to have time to stop for a mid-morning snack! It will give you endurance and a bit of a nice “rib-sticking” quality, as opposed to a smoothie that goes right through you.

Definitely try this one. It will expand your concept of what Live Green Smoothies can be like!

Simple. Succulent. Gorgeous. Quick. Slightly exotic. My favorite combos.

You can make this fresh fruit salad in a jiffy, and if you don’t have pineapple or enough mangos on hand to make the fruit cup, you can use a single ripe mango to make the delicious Mango-Orange Blossom Dressing to put over any fruit you have in your kitchen!

Any… no matter what you pour it over, it’s going to be a real treat!

Lovely smoothie to look at… refreshing to drink. It’s sweet, but not like a dessert, with a bit of limey tang and a very slight savory undertone of red onion and olive oil. Despite the savory ingredients, this Live Green Smoothie is not exotic — even a child would like it.

And such a lovely green… everyone will be asking you what ingredients are in this one when they see you walking around with your Live Green Smoothie water bottle.
