The Live Green Smoothie Diet

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 [...]

Refreshing, easy, quick, alkalizing, great for your skin… what are you waiting for? This recipe is a snap. Make one blenderful with 1/2 of a cantaloupe, a second with the other 1/2, maybe adding some fresh berries for variation, and you’ll have your first two blenderfuls done for the day! They go down *sooooooo* easily, [...]

The way tomatoes taste in heaven… This is a sweet, tropical answer to the Bloody Mary, and I’ll bet you’ve never had anything like it! The intent of this recipe was to make a Tomato-Rose Sorbet sweetened with Mango, made creamy with Zucchini, and made aromatic with Rose Water. But it was so delicious, I [...]

What a lovely texture… and you can whip this up in minutes! Easy ingredients, all fresh, all wholesome… and there’s no way you’ll find this combination in any store! Fresh mango paired with fresh blueberries, quality vanilla (in this case, some richly fragrant vanilla from Mexico) and natural sweetener whips up lickety-split in your blender [...]

Got a mint plant out back that tends to rage out of control and want to know what to do with it? Start making Live Green Smoothies with it! Paired with some raw cacao powder, avocado, banana and a few other ingredients, you’ll have a deliciously creamy LGS, or even frozen “milk” shake if you [...]

Beets aren’t just for slicing and borscht. The work wonderfully in many raw smoothies, and pair brilliantly with both berries and fresh greens to make some winning Live Green Smoothie combinations! Rich in minerals, antioxidants, and the valuable phytonutrients that deep pigmentation gives clue to, this is a beautiful smoothie to give you energy and [...]

Carrots are not just for salads and juicing! Especially if you have a high-powered blender, in which case blending them makes them completely smooth, like a whole-food juice. Carrots, obviously jam-packed with beta carotene, blend brilliantly with fresh berries! And especially strawberries. The result: a deliciously flavored, highly refreshing, wildly nutritious raw smoothie that is [...]

What a beautiful drink. Just looking at this smoothie in your glass, you know it has to be good for you… especially your blood. Whip this one up on Valentine’s Day… or give to your kids and tell them to pretend they’re vampires. Made from fresh beets and mangoes, with a bit of fresh OJ, [...]

This smoothie is knockout gorgeous! I poured it into a tall clear container to keep in the fridge (it didn’t last long…) and drank the rest of it in a tall glass, and just couldn’t believe how radiantly orange it was every time I looked at it. I almost hated to drink it! Almost… Chock-full [...]

This smoothie is great for anyone, but especially for someone new to the Live Green Smoothie world… it is soo fresh-tasting, with hardly any flavor whatsoever except for a slight after-taste of fresh orange juice. Slightly creamy and very smooth, especially when blended in a high-powered blender, anyone just starting out and dipping their toes [...]
