The Live Green Smoothie Diet

  Don’t forget to add Raw Macadamia Nuts to your Shopping List! This was one of my first raw foods recipes, and it’s still a favorite of mine. As long as I can find raw macadamia nuts, this also tends to be a staple recipe for me, although that will go out the window when [...]

I’m in serious need of some nutritional restoration at the mo’. Having returned to New Jersey, I’ve been regaled with some wonderfully heart-felt hospitality on the part of dearly missed friends. Along with that has come more than a vitality-compromising share of delicious home-cooked foods and far too many bottles of delicious red wine. Not [...]

I’m re-publishing this recipe, which I first posted back in March of 2009, because it is just AMAZINGly delish. One of my readers, Sue, mentioned that she frequently turns to this Banana with Hempseed Milk recipe (quick & easy, no straining required), and it reminded me of one of my all-time favorite recipes, this Vanilla, [...]

(There was so much interest in this recipe, from readers who wanted to jack up the amount of broccoli in their diet, that I brought this recipe out of the members-only area and have made it public for everyone.) Yah, I know… who thinks about Broccoli and Vanilla in the same breath? Hah, well… clearly [...]

Okay, so this isn’t really a “pie” in the sense that there’s a crunchy or flaky crust filled with something… but this is a fresh version you can make on-the-spot, with zero dehydration, and it is all raw, all living… and absolutely scrumptious. When I made this, I thought I was full and didn’t have [...]

I love rose water almost as much as I love great vanilla. Almost. And if you’re like me, and you appreciate quick & filling meals that also taste great, you’ll love this combination. Which, by the way, you can also make with either vanilla or orange blossom water instead of the rose water! *swooning on [...]

Since moving from New Jersey to Tampa, I’ve had to enlist a whole new crew of tasters of my recipes. Conveniently, my little nephews are 11 and 14 years old,not in the least “raw”, and thus perfect candidates in my mind for some good recipe feedback. I loved little 11-yr-old Jayson’s response… “Wow, this is gooooood! [...]

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 [...]

This is another “revelation recipe”, the sort of thing one never imagines would be so good, and yet works so very well! This is also one more feather in my cap as far as nailing down another great raw recipe exquisitely highlighting vanilla… a personal quest of mine, since I love vanilla so much, but [...]

I doubt you’ve ever had avocado this way before. And you wouldn’t know that’s what makes it so creamy unless I told you. Enjoy it warm, like a Warm Live Tea or Hot Chocolate, and enjoy the mild, smooth, cozy, comforting vanilla-ness, a combined sensation that is quite unlike anything else found in the world [...]
