The Live Green Smoothie Diet

I can pretty much guarantee most of you have never tried something like this before (I never did)… A sweet, lemony Live Green Smoothie served warm, like soup or tea. It’ so comforting, soothing, and warming… and exactly the sort of thing your body needs when it’s battling a cold or flu or allergies. I [...]

This may very well be my favorite soup. After Cream of Tomato. It’s so simple, quite bland really, in that mashed-potato blandness that gives such comfort. And that’s the point… it’s warming, comforting, and simple. And there’s so much one can do to dress it up and give it more explosive flavor, if that’s what [...]

Two things I like when I’m eating… something warm and something I can enjoy with a fork, not just drink. And this simple broth brings both together, quickly, inexpensively, and very comfortingly. You can make this broth very mild… or extremely spicy! Make as-is, or jack up with garlic, fresh chiles, and fresh miso or [...]

This is wonderful soup for when you want something comforting, soothing, grounding, and warming… but which will enliven and nourish you rather than put you to sleep and slow you down. And although the recipe is “raw vegan”, it’s not just for raw food purists (which I am not)… there are many health-conscious raw food enthusiasts who do include lovingly raised [...]

Fast. Non-fat, except for whatever macadamia nuts you throw on top. Quick. Made from just a few basic ingredients. Filling. Delicious. If there are a few raw quick-meals you want to learn, something like this should be in the Top 10. You can whip this up for a filling breakfast that will definitely last through [...]

Warm, comforting, quick (like most of my recipes…), this creamy-white freshly made corn chowder is a great base for other garnishes. Here, blended hemp seeds contribute “milkiness”. And I’ve blended up some sweet red pepper into a small portion of the soup for a garnish. Alternatively, you can leave the soup plain and just garnish [...]

Yumm-ee! Make this warm live soup and quit yer bellyachin’ about “being cold” while trying to “be raw”. It is entirely possible to make deliciously warm soups that are tasty and truly “undenatured” (my officially favorite food-related word, now). Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a 100% rawee. I love a good hot soup that’s [...]

Raw food enthusiasts are always asking how to “stay raw” or keep up their raw food intake during the winter months, when everyone craves warmth. I’m one who thinks there’s a logic to desiring warm foods in cold seasons or locales, and therefore think that Warm Live Soups are just bloody brilliant. No need to [...]

On a cold winterish evening, a nice warm bowl of soup really hits the spot… and you can make Warm Live Soups that are filled with still-living enzymes and still-raw nutrients. It just takes a gentle hand while your soup is over the heat. And the delicious upside: you’ll have your soup ready in just [...]

In the spirit of the Autumnal Equinox, which is upon us this week, I’m offering up this creamy homage to a memorably delicious cooked Sweet Potato-Sausage soup I once was served. There’s no way to truly duplicate “potato boiled in milk” in the raw & living foods world, but this dish comes as close as [...]
