Relevance: 24%      Posted on: February 28, 2012

Today I thought I'd share another fat free raw vegan smoothie recipe with you  (this one includes cherries and pineapples) and go over some questions some of you may have on green smoothies. If you're looking for the recipe, you can scroll to the bottom of the post. What is a Green Smoothie? A green smoothie is basically just a raw fruit smoothie with some raw greens added to it for more nutrition. It can look green, red, purple or even brown coloured depending on what the ingredients are. Why Would I Want To Add Greens To My Smoothie? Most of…

80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Pineapple Mango Delight Smoothie

Relevance: 7%      Posted on: May 23, 2012

This delicious breakfast smoothie kind of reminds me of a Pina Colada but gets it's creaminess from bananas instead of coconut. I was going to throw some other fruit into it, but once I tasted it, it was too delicious to mess around with so I left it with just 3 simple ingredients and it's definitely one of my favourite smoothies. The best smoothies are made with fresh ripe produce, so I always make sure to select the best sweetest pineapples, (See my video on How To Select and Cut A Pineapple) and let my mangoes fully ripen on the…

80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Persimmon Fruit Pudding

Relevance: 7%      Posted on: October 7, 2011

We're coming into persimmon season soon, so I highly recommend trying them this year if you haven't yet. You can find persimmons at Asian markets or specialty ethnic grocery stores. Persimmons look rather like an orange-red tomato and are short and fat. When they are unripe, they will be rock hard and VERY starchy and need to be cut with a knife. Some people like the Thais enjoy eating fuyu persimmons raw in salads more like a vegetable, but personally I find they leave an awful starchy film on my tongue. So I prefer to only eat persimmons that very…

80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Winter Vitamin C Smoothie

Relevance: 6%      Posted on: September 28, 2011

Winter time can be a little harder to get a wide variety of fresh ripe fruit. So this is an easy staple that you can add to your breakfast regime. Just make sure you are using fresh squeezed orange juice (home-made is best) and ripe bananas (that are very speckled and sweet). An unripe banana or sour oranges can really ruin your smoothie, so make sure you use quality ingredients that taste good on their own first. If you find that you are feeling cold in the winter months, make sure you take your fruit OUT of the refrigerator before…

Soy-Free Vegan Tropical Acai Berry Bowl Recipe

Relevance: 6%      Posted on: June 9, 2013

Whipping up acai bowl recipes are pretty easy. I like to use whatever fresh and frozen fruits I had on hand. This one is similar to my Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe , but it's perfect for summer with fresh mango and berries. Acai bowls can be topped with your favorite fruits, but I know some of you have never had one before and are unsure how to make them at home. Acai is usually sold in a frozen puree for use in smoothies, acai bowls and frozen desserts. You can also buy acai juice, powder and supplements, but I stick with…

This is a very delicious and healthy, but decadent stuffing recipe you can use for Thanksgiving or Christmas! It contains no butter, margarine or earth balance, and you won't even notice! It's full of flavour and very moist and tasty with so many colours and textures to enjoy. We ate it along with my Baked Maple Yam Pecan Casserole and Decadent Vegan Pecan Pie.

Antioxidant Omega-3 High Protein Vegan Granola Bars

Relevance: 6%      Posted on: November 11, 2012

The other day I was looking at granola bars at the grocery store and I was starting to get frustrated. Most granola bars are pretty unhealthy, they contain a lot of high fructose corn syrup, milk ingredients, oil, nuts and salt. When you're looking for a quick high energy snack for traveling, hiking or to have before your work out it's nice to eat something that's just as healthy as a home cooked meal. So I decided to make my own homemade no-bake vegan granola bars, and came up with this bar which is high in protein and contains lots…

Vitamineral Green Smoothie Recipe

Relevance: 5%      Posted on: February 3, 2013

So can you use green powders in green smoothies instead of fresh greens? Why yes you can! I think a lot of us are guilty of not getting enough green leafy vegetables in their diet day after day. Myself included. Sometimes I don't have enough room in the fridge to have salad ingredients every single day, and sometimes I get tired of chewing salad every day. So I often opt for a green smoothie to get more greens in my diet and it's pretty fast and simple. You kind of need a decent blender to blend the fresh greens though…

Vegan Chocolate Cherry Blender Ice Cream

Relevance: 5%      Posted on: May 26, 2013

With Summer coming soon you might be craving some sweet warm weather desserts. My favorite is always a fresh homemade blender "ice-cream", which uses frozen bananas for a creamy texture and natural sweetness. Instead of my old staple of "vanilla" I decided to switch it up with some frozen cherries and I have to say I'm absolutely hooked on this recipe! Chocolate cherry anything was basically my weakness growing up, but this version is all natural and actually good for you so there's no guilt! All you need are a few simple ingredients, unsweetened almond milk, frozen very ripe bananas,…

This is a really quick smoothie that you can make in the summer. It's an 80/10/10 fat free style smoothie that is really delicious!

The Fruitarian Restaurant: A Decadent Fantasy on Rarotonga, The Cook Islands

Relevance: 5%      Posted on: June 17, 2013

A friend of mine just came back from a trip to an exotic island in the Pacific called Rarotonga in the Cook Islands and was raving about this “amazing” restaurant he had discovered there. It’s called “The Frutarian”, and truly, it’s the most amazing place I have ever heard of. Apparently the owners have been raw for over 20 years, and have decided to open this place in this remote island, and in spite of all expectations, it’s doing great! I was a little curious because I have yet to find a restaurant that truly blew me away with the…

Fruit and Veggie Smoothie Recipe with Beet Juice

Relevance: 5%      Posted on: September 10, 2012

Sometimes people ask me, "Can I put vegetables into my fruit smoothies?".  And I say "Well that depends". I wouldn't necessarily tell a novice that they should try broccoli or carrots in a smoothie, because those vegetables are pretty hard to blend and you may not like it. Same goes for beets. Don't just toss them into your blender (unless you have a really high powered one and like a gritty chewy smoothie).  So instead I recommend for those wanting to up the nutrition of their fruit smoothies that you juice some veggies like carrots or beets and use that…

Engine2 Inspired Tempeh Mushroom Panini Melts

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: February 10, 2013

I was watching Engine 2 Kitchen to the Rescue on Netflix the other day and got a hankering for a homemade panini melt like Rip was showing in the recipe section of the film. This recipe is DELICIOUS! I'm definitely going to be making this regularly because the combination of mushrooms and caramelized onions is one of my favorites. Hummus is a great cheese-free way to make an ooey gooey panini melt because it adds some nice flavor and moisture to it and gets all melty when heated. So make sure to slather it on thick! For a healthier oil…

(Vegan) Holiday Eggnog Smoothie

When I was a kid I used to love eggnog. I have no idea why, but I would go crazy for it at Christmas and couldn't help myself. Now I can't even imagine drinking that stuff because it's just so thick and rich and obviously not vegan.  Last year I tried some vegan eggnog from the health food store, but it was also very thick and rich. My tastes have definitely changed and it just wasn't my thing! So this year I decided to make a healthier version, using ripe bananas. If your bananas are really ripe and spotted it…

80/10/10 Recipe: Purple People Eater Green Smoothie with Chard and Blackberries

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: June 19, 2012

So maybe this smoothie is not a "people eater" per se, but it is purple and it is delicious so I think you need to make this green (err purple) smoothie recipe so you can become a purple smoothie eater! "Purple People Eater" is just a silly song from the late 1950's about a monster that comes to earth because he wants to be in a rock band. He happens to have only one eye and one horn as and he apparently only eats purple people, so most of us should be ok... I said should... if you drink a…

How To Make Great Vegan Smoothies Every Time Tools Necessary For Making The Best Smoothies There are a few tools that will help you make the best tasting smoothies. The most important is obviously a good blender. I recommend using a high power blender if you are serious about making delicious smoothies regularly and if it fits your budget. My preferred blender of choice is a VitaMix because of the superior motor, warranty and large size (64 oz.) container. I use it almost daily, some days multiple times! It’s excellent for breaking down fruits and greens into tiny particles, which…
