The Live Green Smoothie Diet

Here’s a great basic recipe you can use to help add more fresh greens to your kids’ diet. The avocado in this green smoothie makes it creamy, fresh parsley or baby spinach make it (unwittingly) a salad-in-a-glass, and the strawberries, raw honey, and rose water make it fragrantly sweet in a way kids (well, mine [...]

This fruity fresh, Warm Live Tea made with mango and strawberries was a big hit with the kids. Whip this smoothie up and warm it in a jiffy and every mango-lover in the house will love you.

My new favorite… creamy but light, gingery and fresh… just wonderful. And what a gorgeous shade of spring green! Definitely appropriate for the season, with the trees still springing into that lovely “green haze” before all the leaves pop full out. Utterly pedestrian ingredients picked up fresh at your local grocer’s yield such a surprisingly [...]

This lovely fresh tea looks like raspberry sherbet and isn’t made with tea at all but, like all my Warm Live Teas, is a raw smoothie made with fresh fruit, then gently warmed to a cozy temp… and take all of a couple minutes to whip up! A simple refresher… but with exotic appeal. And [...]

Naturally sweet and robustly warming with a good heap of fresh ginger root, you can also had some fresh baby spinach or parsley to make this a warm Live Green smoothie-tea.

A Live-Green Chocolate Tea? Yep! This is warm raw cacao blended with fresh spinach and grapes to make a comforting but perky refresher. It doesn’t have the rich creaminess of this Live Green Hot Chocolate; instead it’s light and refreshing, with the wonderful dark-cacao pick-you-up flavor of chocolate. Blend it in your blender, like you do [...]

This extremely creamy, delicious warm cacao drink isn’t made with any kind of milk (whether from dairy, almond, or hemp seeds) and is made with fresh baby spinach and avocado. This hot cocoa happens to also be a Live Green Smoothie chock FULL of antioxidants and magnesium (which you believe it’s the chocolate that actually trumps the [...]

Lately, I’ve been drinking my Live Green Smoothies warm. It’s been soothing, comforting, and energizing, and an excellent beverage in the evenings. This tea, warm but still “raw” (not cooked) and very much “living”, makes an excellent nightcap. The color of a nice juicy shiraz or cabernet, this Blueberry-Grape Warm Live Tea has the kind of [...]

Growing up in Minnesota in the 70s, I was a hard-core Girl Scout, complete with uniform, camping, badges… the whole nine yards. And one of the staple recipes that Girl Scout moms of that era new how to make was something called “Russian Tea”, a blend of Tang with instant Iced Tea mix and sweet spices [...]
