A green smoothie is basically just a raw fruit smoothie with some raw greens added to it for more nutrition.

Spring is coming! I know it! We're getting a few sunny days in between the rain here in Vancouver. So sometimes I can take my pictures outside. Yay! I really love pineapple and raspberries in smoothies, I think they make almost as good of a combination as pineapple and black cherries. This is a smoothie I regularly make as it has creaminess from the bananas, the tartness from raspberries, and a tropical pineapple twist to it. As long as you're using fully ripe, spotted bananas as the base you can pretty much throw any frozen fruit into the blender…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Cherry Blaster Smoothie

I love love love cherries. I also love love love cherry smoothies. If you've never had one, YOU MUST TRY IT. Pitting cherries by hand is kind of a pain, but scroll to the bottom to find out how I do mine quickly. If you live in the USA you can also look for frozen black cherries at the grocery store, those are great to have too. You can also buy cherries cheaper at the end of the summer season and pit a bunch yourself and freeze them in plastic bags to use all year which is handy to have.…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Cherry Dream Smoothie

Raw Vegan Cherry Dream Smoothie Serves 1 Ingredients: 1/2 cup water 2 cups pineapple 2 cups black cherries, pitted 1/2 mango (ataulfo is best) Directions: Place ingredients in order into Vitamix or blender. Blend on high until smooth. You can use fresh or frozen of any of the fruit ingredients, but fresh is best for the full flavour of each fruit. The best tool I have found to help with pitting cherries is the Cherry It Cherry Pitter, which I got on Amazon. It rocks, for when you want to eat a bunch of cherries nice and neatly,…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Winter Vitamin C Smoothie

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…Low Fat Raw Vegan Green Smoothie with Grapes, Celery and Spinach

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…80/10/10 Recipe: Beginner’s Green Smoothie Banana Blueberry Spinach

For some of you green smoothies might be something new, or something you've heard of but never tried. Others may make green smoothies regularly and enjoy them. I wanted to share a really easy green smoothie recipe with you today. Something I would call a "basic" or "beginner's green smoothie". #1. Because it's not too frightening looking and you can tell it has berries in it (this may seem a little normal looking). This may also appeal to people who are afraid of drinking something that looks like green grass! #2. It tastes very nice and you cannot detect any…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Vegan Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie

So last week I launched my new ebook 'Simply Decadent Smoothies' as part of my combo recipe package with 'Savory Raw Dinner Recipes' and 'Comfort Soups To Keep You Warm' and gave it away as a free bonus. The combo package was incredibly popular, but a few of you wanted to know if you could get just my smoothie ebook if you had already purchased one or more of the other products before. So I just wanted to let you know that 'Simply Decadent Smoothies' is now available at a special discounted price here. Today I'm going to share with…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Banana Pear Berry Smoothie

You want to use ripe bananas that are soft and lightly brown speckled and pears that have turned from rock hard green to soft yellow with some brown flecks. Make sure you have ripe pears as well. If your pears have any bad spots in them cut them out before using.

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…Vitamineral Green Smoothie Recipe

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…Raw Vegan Valentines Day 80/10/10 Style: Cherry Mango Love Smoothie

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...

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

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.

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.

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…
