Raw Vegan Creamy Avocado Banana Green Smoothie Recipe!

Relevance: 70%      Posted on: July 10, 2012

This heavenly avocado banana green smoothie is a real treat.  I normally don't add any nuts or seeds to my smoothies, but I was inspired from our trip to Hawaii a few months ago to make one of these. In many tropical countries the locals use avocados in sweet drinks and desserts instead of just the standard salad topping or guacamole. Avocado is a very versatile fruit and it's extremely creamy and satisfying to eat. Kind of like nature's butter! On it's own it has a very mild taste and is not very overpowering but season it right and it…

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…

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

Relevance: 69%      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…

Relevance: 69%      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…

(Vegan) Holiday Eggnog Smoothie

Relevance: 68%      Posted on: December 16, 2012

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…

Relevance: 67%      Posted on: June 27, 2012

I don't know about where you are, but summer is really just starting where I live outside of Vancouver, Canada. The whole Pacific Northwest area is just so darn RAINY we only get a day or two of sun or mixed sun and clouds each week! It's crazy. May was such a beautiful month, we had almost 2 weeks of sunshine and as soon as June hit it was like June-Gloom... Now that it's almost July I'm starting to feel that panic set in that summer is fading away before it even really started... Do you ever get that feeling?…

80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Berrylicious (Banana Mango Berry) Smoothie Recipe

Relevance: 59%      Posted on: May 3, 2012

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back home in Vancouver after spending 2 weeks in Oahu and Kauai. Hawaii is still one of my top favourite places in the world. Probably because as an island state it has many more amenities than most smaller tropical islands I've been to (and loads of fresh fruit and veggie friendly restaurant options). It's rather chilly and rainy here right now as we're getting a late start on warm sunny weather, but it's the perfect time to start eating more fresh fruits and vegetables now that summer is approaching. Smoothies are something that there is no…
