Today’s smoothie features a powerful antioxidant, omega fat and amino acid source—acai. You pronounce this “ah-sigh–ee” and it is a very trendy superfood lately. You may have seen/heard commercials for cleanse and detox programs featuring the acai berry. It’s good for you, but like everything else, it’s not magic! In fact, a lot of those …
Today I wanted a combination recovery plus energy boost smoothie. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it turned out more like a pudding. Here’s the recipe: 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 1/2 scoop Vega powder (chocolate flavor) 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 2-3 Tbsp agave 1 Tbsp maca powder I …
I decided this will be smoothie week. Not green smoothie week—just Smoothie Week. So everyday, I’m going to make up and post a new recipe. But I’m counting the Valentine’s Day smoothie twice (Sun and Mon), just because it was so good. Today’s smoothie is not as beautiful as I had hoped, but it tastes …

Yes, wheatgrass is green grass, grown from wheatberries…and once you juice it, you drink it! No, it is not delicious. It is beautiful (In my opinion), and it does taste like, well, juiced grass. Why would I drink …
Today I am going to be busy and scheduled all day, so I wanted to have enough portable food with me to last until I get home waaaaaaay later. Although a salad would be nice, I have no fridge (except my car, I suppose!) to use during the day. I decided to go with smoothies—and …
I’ve done some research to find “healthy” cocktail ideas, and I keep coming back to the same source—Sarma Melngailis’ books: Raw Food Real World and Raw Living Food. At her restaurant in NYC, Pure Food and Wine, they serve raw food and drinks, with the exception of the sake in the cocktails. In one of …
I’m participating in the Dauntless Diva’s 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge. It’s not significantly different from what I’ve been doing, although it has altered my focus from primarily green juice to green smoothies. So far, I have mostly been consuming a very simple spinach-banana-water smoothie recipe. There isn’t a specific reason for this, except that it’s …
