I have a bunch of the awesome Cashew Cream leftover, so I picked up some fresh blueberries, mixed them with the cream and sprinkled some ground cardamom over top. It was a delicious and healthy dessert! This would be great for breakfast, too. Continue Reading →
Have you ever had a rich, indulgent dessert that was actually healthy? What about one that was rich and creamy but didn’t have any dairy? When I saw this recipe over at Chocolate Covered Katie, I was in awe. Could it really be that good? Had I stumbled across a way for my lactose intolerant husband to enjoy something rich and creamy without guilt? This stuff is amazing. Continue Reading →
In an attempt to make a few smoothies that aren’t full of kale and avocados, I put this one together today. After a really long day yesterday, I decided that a nice chunk of ginger would give me a good kick. So I raided the fridge and put this smoothie together. Since I wasn’t using avocado, I threw in some raw cashews for a bit of protein, and to bulk it up a bit. Continue Reading →
Today’s smoothie is full of antioxidants, vitamins and lots of tasty fruits and veggies. I really enjoyed this combination of flavors. This purple powerhouse is a naturally sweet, raw vegan treat. Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I made myself a smoothie, so I picked up a bunch of kale from the store and decided to make a smoothie with some of the fruit that I had on hand. For some reason, I feel compelled to add kale to 99% of my smoothies. It’s a really great way to bulk them up and add some wonderful nutrients. This one was nice and refreshing, and my toddler seriously loved it, too. Bonus! Continue Reading →
I made a nice, quick raw salad for lunch today to use up some of the veggies that I had in the house. I juiced half a lime in the bottom of a bowl, added a pinch of sea salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, and then whisked in a stream of a really nice extra-virgin olive oil. I dropped in some sliced radishes, chopped tomato, cucumber, and parsley and tossed to combine. It was nice and fresh, and the peppery kick from the radishes was great! Continue Reading →
I finally made a smoothie that isn’t loaded with kale. Ha! Maybe I’m trying to will the warmer weather to come here and stay with the addition of a super ripe mango. This one was really tasty, and since it was mostly fruit, it didn’t need any additional sweetener. Continue Reading →
I whipped up another batch of green smoothies at lunchtime today. I really love the creaminess that the avocado adds. I’m anxious for spring to really arrive so I can get a better variety of fresh, local goodies to incorporate into my smoothies! Continue Reading →
When I went to make this smoothie, I realized that the avocado I had left had gone bad, so I used banana instead. It turned out really nicely. It wasn’t quite as thick and creamy as most of the smoothies that I’ve made, but the banana added a really nice flavor. Continue Reading →
I was looking forward to enjoying this smoothie, but one of my pitted dates must have had a big pit in it, because as I started drinking the smoothie, I kept getting big chunks of rock hard pit. Ugh! Continue Reading →
I finally made a smoothie that wasn’t green – ha! Well, it still had greens in it, but I added some frozen wild blueberries this time around, and it made it really nice and purple. Plus, blueberries provide wonderful antioxidant benefits. Continue Reading →
I’m trying to add more raw items to my food repertoire, and I like having vegan alternatives occasionally, too. So I used the agave instead of honey and bee pollen, which I’ve been using in the other smoothies I’ve been making lately. This one turned out really nice! I really liked the addition of celery this time around, too. Continue Reading →
I found some champagne mangos on sale at the store this week, and I thought they would be a great addition to a smoothie. I loved using kale as a super hearty and healthy base for the smoothie I made yesterday, and I loved the creaminess that the avocado added, so I used those ingredients again, too. Continue Reading →
I’ve been wanting to try out making green smoothies for a while now, and it was super easy with my Vitamix. Continue Reading →
We wanted to take our baby out to the farm for a lunchtime picnic today, and I put together a salad of CSA goodies, plus some shallots that I had in the fridge. I used some red and yellow tomatoes, radishes and parsley from the farm. Then I dressed it … Continue Reading →
