The Live Green Smoothie Diet

My favorite way to enjoy this is actually as a slushie, straight out of the blender, when it’s flavors are so bright and untouched by the freezer. After all… and I’m actually a purist in this regard… something that’s been fully frozen is not technically raw. The cellular structure of the living foods, such as [...]

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! [...]

… and not that ground-up cauliflower “mashed potatoes” raw foodists try to pass off as the real thing. One thing I’ve said is that, if you want real mashed potatoes, just have the real cooked thing as it will never be possible in the raw world. Well, today I’m eating my words. If you’re a [...]

What a great breakfast to power you up! You won’t believe this is made from fresh fruit and vedge… it tastes like dark brownie batter in a bowl, or a rich dark pudding! Kids will love it… chocolate-lovers will love it… and Raw Vegans will slurp it up because it’s warm, creamy, yummy comfort food [...]

Raw vegans, eat your heart out. This is a recipe any chocolate-lovin’ meat-eater will enjoy. You can make this for friends and family and don’t say a word… they’ll never know it’s good for them. And it’s a lot faster than making pudding out of a box! Serve this pudding warm… that’s the point of this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The beauty of zucchini used in raw smoothies really becomes apparent in this recipe! You will instantly experience how zucchini just disappears, providing a blank background for whatever else you’re pairing with it. In this case… mango… and you end up with a delicious glass of “Essence of Mango”, without any cloying sweetness or undertone [...]

All berries are very low in sugar, so I tell all my clients not to use them as the primary fruit in a Live Green Smoothie, because they just won’t have enough sweetness to carry through — they will be too tart. Paired with zucchini, however, and they seem to shine! The zucchini provides a [...]

Mono-Smoothies simply rawk! I haven’t been so excited about something related to food since the advent of Live Green Smoothies. They are easy, cheap, fast… and did I say cheap? For anyone who is on a tight budget and still wants to eat maximally healthy, adding some Mono-Smoothies every day will definitely make a difference! [...]
