How To Make Perfect Vegan Smoothies And Green Smoothies Every Time

Relevance: 11%      Posted on: August 5, 2012

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…

Sinless Fat Free Vegan Chocolate Banana Shake Recipe

Relevance: 11%      Posted on: May 10, 2012

I don't usually eat a lot of chocolate or use cocoa or cacao in my smoothie recipes, but I'm sure some of you out there have cravings for a chocolate milk shake or smoothie once in a while and I thought I'd make a little treat for us! There are few things more delicious than the combination of bananas with chocolate and even without the traditional ice-cream, this shake is still delicious. The key to making it creamy and naturally sweet is to use fully ripe (lots and lots of spots) bananas. To make this recipe truly fat free I…

Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe

Relevance: 9%      Posted on: April 21, 2013

I have been having my fill of acai bowls since visiting southern California. Originally they come from Brazil, but they are also popular in Hawaii and many American juice bars. I visited one of my raw food friends in California and had the chance to actually make something while on the road in her kitchen. I went in search of acai frozen smoothie mix (as I haven't seen it yet where I am in Canada) and found some from Sambazon at Whole Foods. (Check their website to find a dealer near you.) It's about $4.99 for four 100g gram packages.…

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

Relevance: 9%      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…

How To Tell If A Banana Is Ripe With Pictures! (A Yellow Banana Is Not Ripe Enough)

Relevance: 6%      Posted on: October 23, 2011

So you want to know how to tell if a banana is ripe and if the ones you have are ripe enough. One of the most troubling things I find when promoting fresh fruits and vegetables to people is that they don't understand that many fruits have to ripen before being eaten. You cannot just assume you can simply pick the fruit up from the grocery store display, take it home and eat it right away like a frozen dinner, a box of pasta or a can of beans. (There are a few exceptions like apples and oranges.) As society…

80/10/10 Recipe: Low Fat Raw Vegan Green Pea Lemon Dill Blended Soup

Relevance: 6%      Posted on: October 7, 2011

Green peas and dill are some of my favourite green things to eat. So I decided to combine them into a tasty raw soup recipe. This is sort of a chunky style raw soup with diced veggie chunks in a blended base. Feel free to customize it as you like, but I find that having something to chew on in raw soups is nice so it's not just eating smoothie with a spoon. Alternately, if you don't love green peas raw, you can substitute more of something else like zucchini, cucumber or even diced peppers. Raw Green Pea Lemon Dill…

10 Tips For Eating Out Raw At Restaurants

Relevance: 5%      Posted on: June 18, 2013

Depending where you live, you might be more or less able to continue your raw eating habits when dining out with friends and family. Just because you are a raw foodist, it does not mean that you have to eat all of your meals alone or at home (unless you want to). Some people in your life might even be put off with the fact that you no longer socialize the way they do. Although you are living a healthier (and hopefully happier) life than some of your friends with unhealthy eating habits, there’s no reason to make an outcast…
