yummy way to start off your day!
I cannot believe it’s almost been a month. I feel fantastic (aside from the exhaustion from school work, senioritis is killing me right now) and I keep making these ridiculously delicious juices. Today I added some raw hemp seed powder to my Mystic Mango kombucha (try it!) and I made this great kick start juice this morning. I took about seven sprigs of cilantro, an entire bag of spinach...

Right now, I’m inlovelovelovewith grapefruit grape juice, equal parts ruby red grapefruits and purple grapes with a little ginger. Also just made a really delicious green juice with fennel, broccoli, parsley, kale, spinach basil and green apple. Another one I make a lot (and...

Here’s a couple:
One bunch of basil, five handfuls of spinach, one quarter...

Fasting
I decided to do another extended juice fast at the beginning of the month. I plan to go two months this time around at the most. At the least this will be a thirty day cleanse. I should have started this on the first…but it didn’t occur to me until just now how how much I’ve neglected this blog. I apologize to my followers. I think I will track and post my juice recipes and...

At a loss for time.
I promised I would be bringing you more recipes, but that obviously hasn’t been the case. I’ve been a lot busier during this break than I thought I would be and I just want to extend a thousand apologies. Right now, I’m going to be reblogging and maybe throwing in some salad recipes because salads are the only things I have time to prepare right now. I have a few I make...

Chocolate Crunch Banana Ice Cream
SO good. Break apart two bananas and freeze for at least two hours. In a food processor add the frozen bananas and a spoonful of raw cacao nibs. Pulse until bananas are creamy. Add five dates and pulse until dates are chunky, do not let them get smooth, the date chunks are a great touch. Hooray for easy desserts!

Breakfast Bowl.
Been missing oatmeal? Forget about it! This is much more delicious! Good for post-yoga workout or an hour after a green smoothie. Yummy! In a bowl place the segments of three mandarin oranges. Slice up ten dates, place in bowl and coat with flax seed oil. Sprinkle cinnamon on top (amount can be determined by you) and toss. Super yummy without being too filling. If you like sweet things...

Eggplant and "Cream Cheese" Sandwich.
My first sandwich! And it was unbelievable. You need to try this, seriously. Seriously, seriously. Also, mine was a monster! I would advise against piling on the fillings, unless you want to eat it with a fork and knife, which I don’t advise against. Up to you!
For the bread you can use anything that you make, any of your favorite or preferred breads, crackers or crusts. But, if...

Effortless Salad Diaries: Entry Six-More Fruit and...
I obviously have a love affair with fruit and spinach combos. Friggin delicious! Spinach is one of those underwhelming greens, it has almost no taste, so the fruit flavors always dominate these salads. That’s my explanation for why I always tend towards spinach and fruit.
For this salad fill a bowl with baby spinach leaves, add a clementine or two, stem and deseed ten cherries.
Then...

Something That's Not a Salad! Nori Roll.
I make this at work ALLLLLLL the time. I love it! It is definitely my favorite dish, and it’s not a salad! I really need more dishes that aren’t salads, I realize that’s all I post. So here’s a dish that is not a salad!
If you have never worked with nori sheets before I suggest checking out this video…it does give a recipe but you can breeze through the middle....

Let's Talk About Chocolate.
A nine letter word that has such horrible connotations, which is unfortunate because it actually is a goldmine of benefits. Know as cacao, chocolate in its raw state is higher in antioxidants than acai, blueberries and green tea. It is a great source of protein, carotene and the good fats. And just because it’s raw doesn’t mean it has to taste bitter!
Say hello to the two most...

Effortless Salad Diaries: Entry Five-Green Orgy...
Oh my goodness! Delightful! An abundance of greens-very filling! This is a good way to pack in all those greens you “forgot” to consume for the day…yeah…I do it too. Forgot my green smoothie this morning. For shame! So, at the end of the day, when you remember that you have consumed no leafy greens, you can quickly throw this together for dinner.

Goji Berry Salad.
Goji berries have stolen my heart. I truly love these things so much, it’s hard to put into words. Therefore I’ll avoid trying and get straight to the point. This salad is super yummy, just make sure you add a generous amount of these parched gems.
Goji Berry Salad:
In a bowl place baby spinach leaves, on top add julienned carrots and beets. Slice up a small apple of your...

Rainbow Smoothie.
“Plants, as far as I know, are still bending towards the light.” MGMT <3!
This is my colorful smoothie, it came very close to looking like a rainbow:
Orange, purple, red, blue, green. Colors! Food should always be colorful, that means you’re getting an array of nutrients and vitamins from all these colorful sources.
In a blender place:
2 peeled mandarin oranges

The Dirty Dozen.
I live by this list! I really want to share it with everyone to inform and help you all stay as healthy as possible. Healthiness is happiness!
It’s very important to buy organic as often as possible, but as a college student, I can understand how difficult it can be. Organic isn’t cheap. But I always follow the rules of the “dirty dozen.” The top 12 most contaminated...

1/2 tsp himalayan pink salt

Dates are at their peak right now! I cannot stop introducing them to my stomach, they are so undeniably tempting. And they add such a dainty sweetness to this salad. I highly suggest this one, it’s undemanding and interesting, two great combinations for a quick salad!

In a bowl place two and a half handfuls of baby spinach. Peel two mandarin oranges and separate...

Delicious!
In a bowl use a vegetable peeler to peel a third of a sweet potato (skin removed prior), a third of a beet (skin removed prior) and a whole small carrot (skin removed if preferred).
Drizzle flaxseed oil over peeled veggies and squeeze almost half of a small lime over the bowl. Cut twenty black grapes in half and slice up a small gala apple. Add the vegetables to the salad and...

1/2 an orange bell pepper (no seeds)
medium sized nob of ginger
5 to 6 very ripe frozen or fresh strawberries
about 1/2 a cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 fresh or frozen bananas
Blend all ingredients on high. There’s no need to add any sweetener because it will take away from the bell pepper flavor (which isn’t to over powering, it’s just right, trust...

"Antipasto" Salad with Marinated Kale.
This is one of my favorite salads, I eat it every day at work! That’s four times a week…I am entirely serious about this. And, even though I would consider this the meal, I still think it deserves the “antipasto” title because of its rich Italian flavor. It definitely reminds me of the antipasto salads I would get at Italian restaurants before the pizza or spaghetti...

Easiest Kale Marinade.
I’ve wondered through a maze of these very elaborate marinated kale recipes that call for numerous ingredients that seem unnecessary. Marinating kale doesn’t require a bunch of spices and oils-it requires two things: lemon juice and salt. Easier than pie.
Step one: de-stem your kale by tearing or cutting diagonally along the stem.
Step two: chop up the separated leaves, not too...

Zucchini Pasta with Spicy Marinara and Pumpkin...
This dish is super easy to throw together once the marinara and cheese are already made. It’s a great cheesy spaghetti for those days when the time in your day seems to keep running away from you.
Use vegetable peeler to peel a whole zucchini into a bowl. Add two spoonfuls of Spicy Marinara Sauce and three spoonfuls of Pumpkin Seed Cheese, coat zucchini and you’re done! Super...

Turmeric is such a healthy spice! It has anti-inflamitory properties, removes amyloyd buildup in the brain which is directly linked to Alzheimer’s disease, cancer preventative, improves liver function, helps lover cholesterol and offers cardiovascular protection. It’s quite a powerful spice, not to mention, very tasty. Which is why it’s the star of this super simple salad. It...
