Today I decided to take a break from my usual green smoothie for breakfast and go with an all-fruit smoothie. I recently cracked open a couple of fresh coconuts, and I still had some coconut water left, so I decided to use that, as well as some of the coconut flesh. The result was a…

Strawberry Superherb Green Smoothie
There are some tasty foods that just don’t look that appetizing, and certainly are not photogenic. This is one of them. We stopped by our local orchard yesterday and were lucky enough to score some strawberries “for jam” at half price. So this morning’s smoothie featured… you guessed it, strawberries! I’m also getting a bit…
Super C Fizzy Antioxidant Refresher
This is one of by favorite refreshing pick-em-up drinks. I drink it nearly every day and I really miss it when I don’t. This is one of my ‘happy foods’, combining red bush tea (also known as rooibos) and the fermented wonder-drink kombucha. Rooibos tea is high in minerals, loaded with antioxidants and very hydrating, making…

Cashews are quite soft and will blend well without soaking, but if you have…
Green Smoothie of the Day
Today’s green smoothie (breakfast of Champions!) came out really creamy. I’m not sure why, but I’m sure enjoying it. I’ve got 2 superfoods packed in this one, goji berries and goldenberries (a.k.a. Incan Berries and Golden Inca Berries). Just for a change I decided to add some spice – cinnamon and ginger, it’s a subtle…
How To Make Almond Milk
This delicious, creamy almond milk is so satisfying that it was the key to my easy transition to being completely dairy-free. I’ve wanted to give up dairy for some time now, but the one challenge was my morning latte. This almond milk was so good it almost made me forget to add the coffee. It’s…
Banana Mocha Non-Milk Shake
I created this as a non-dairy alternative to my former favorite, espresso milkshakes. Now, I may be biased, but I’d say espresso milkshakes pale in comparison to this baby! This is a favorite afternoon pick-up drink in my house. I also find this satisfies my sweet cravings, and is a lot healthier than having a…
