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

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

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…My TOP TEN Favorite Things To Do To Feel Better When Feeling Down, Sick Or Having a Bad Day

My new recipe eBook Comfort Soups To Keep You Warm is available! Somedays are better than others and somedays can be worse. Maybe you're feeling under the weather, maybe you're a little stressed out, over tired, sore from a work out or working too hard, whatever the case may be. Instead of just feeling blah and laying around like a lump on the couch or sitting in a "poor me" or foul mood, here are some things I suggest doing to feel better, de-stress, and get back to your normal happy energetic self.

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.

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…5 Secrets For Making Quick And Healthy Vegan Meals At Home

I have another delicious acai bowl recipe for you with mango and banana. This one is similar to my Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe , but it's perfect for summer with this tropical twist.

Almond milk is something that many people use nowadays, whether they are vegan or have dairy allergies. Sure you can buy some (non raw) almond milk at the store for your smoothies or cooking, but there's likely going to be sugar, preservatives and other additives and synthetic stuff in it as well. While it is convenient to use pre made almond milk, it's not a good idea to base your whole diet on processed packaged foods. It's very easy to make at home, and most cost effective if you enjoy using almond pulp in recipes like raw bars, cookies, crackers,…Raw Vegan Antioxidant Rich Apple Celery Carrot Beet Juice

Eating a whole foods plant based diet doesn't have to be hard or time consuming. It can be very cheap, quick and satisfying, but you need to be able to design a meal that will at least give you enough calories and be enjoyable to eat to succeed in the long term. Dr. John McDougall has come out with a new book in 2012 called The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good! and he talks about why starch is the best food to base a healthy plant based diet on.

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Miami and Southern Florida by Veronica Grace Back In April 2010 I spent 10 lovely days in Miami, Florida. What a treat it was to have a little mini vacation from my “tropical paradise” I was living in at the time in Costa Rica. I have to say it was a little shocking though to go from a tropical third world town to a subtropical first world mega city! Suddenly certain frustrations like poor internet reception, poor road quality, lack of sidewalks and pedestrian crossings were a thing of the past.

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Banff, Canada by Veronica Grace (originally written in 2010 for an old blog) The mountain town of Banff, Canada is one of my all-time favorite places to visit (and get a delicious vegan meal). The Rocky Mountains surround you from every side, the smell of crisp mountain air and the abundance of the glacier lakes and rivers give rich green landscapes as far as the eye can see. Growing up in nearby Calgary, my family and I would often take trips to Banff during the winter and summer for things like camping, Christmas shopping,…
