Mint Chip Smoothie

By · On May 17, 2013 · Comments (0)

mint chip smoothie by julie morris from Superfood SmoothiesTucked beneath a very convincing ice cream-like flavor, a wealth of beneficial spinach awaits you in this smoothie. It’s so good it almost makes a person wonder why spinach isn’t used in all minty treats. I love how the cacao nibs provide a bit of dark-chocolate crunch without being overpowering. Reprinted with permission from Superfood Smoothies© 2013 by Julie Morris, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.

Luscious Pistachio Smoothie

By · On Apr 29, 2013 · Comments (1)

Pistachio smoothie by helyn dunn from helyn's healthy kitchenThis smoothie brings back happy memories of eating gobs of pistachio ice cream with my cousins at Jones Beach. Pistachio was always one of my favorite flavors. The texture is smooth and thick like an old-fashioned milk shake. Pistachios contain large amounts of antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin E and lutein compared to other nuts. They are also lower in calories than other nuts and are loaded
with flavor and healthy fats. Contributed by Helyn Dunn, from

Velvety Chocolate Mousse

By · On Apr 25, 2013 · Comments (0)

velvety chocolate mousse from practically raw desserts by amber shea crawleyFor some of you, avocado pudding is probably old news, but for others of you, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Avocado creates a silken texture that you have to taste to believe (and I promise you won’t notice any avocado flavor). Unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder can be used instead of cacao powder, and
1/3 cup maple syrup or coconut nectar can be used in place of dates, just reduce or omit the water. From Practically Raw Desserts *©2013 by Amber Shea Crawley. Used by permission from Vegan Heritage Press.  Read More→

AppleCrumbleThis dessert is easier and faster to make than an apple pie or apple crisp, and it requires no baking. Instead of refined sugars, this recipe uses dates for sweetness and lemon juice and nutmeg for that extra zing. Bonus: it’s mostly raw as well as soy-free, oil-free, wheat-free, and gluten-free.Courtesy of Colleen Patrick Goudreau’s 30-Day Vegan Challenge. Read More→
