The Live Green Smoothie Diet

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 [...]

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. This is definitely one of my favorite Warm Live Teas. It’s unexpectedly creamy — something about the watermelon, I’ve observed, when you smoothify it. [...]
