INGREDIENTS
(For each smoothie) 1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into four or five pieces, then frozen overnight in a plastic freezer bag. 1/4 cup fresh or frozen organic berries OR sun-dried mulberries and/or goji berries. OPTIONAL 1 teaspoon of Navitas Naturals Superfruit Blend INGREDIENTS
1 cup of raw cashews or other nut or seed (or combination) 3 cups of water KAL Pure Stevia to taste Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg The seeds from 1/2 a vanilla bean 1 teaspoon lucuma powder 1 teaspoon chia seeds METHOD 1. Blend all of the ingredients and any or all of the optional ones as well. 2. Strain through a nutmilk bag or a strainer, saving the pulp for a dehydrated cookie recipe. 3. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a covered jar for up to 2 days. This is a refreshing afternoon (or anytime, really) pick-me-up:
It's super-easy to make. The following recipe makes one glass. Multiply for more. INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon of Navitas Naturals raw pomegranate powder (find in a health food store or Whole Foods Market or order from our store), The juice of half a lemon, and 1 tiny spoonful (the tiny spoon comes in the jar) of KAL Pure Stevia. Cold water Stir all of the above ingredients together and serve cold. Or refrigerate until ready to serve. I'll toast you: L'chaim! (Serves two) Ingredients: 2 Thai coconuts (both the liquid and the "meat") 6 small cloves of garlic (mine were really small, thin; otherwise I would have used 2 larger ones) 1 inch piece of ginger 1/4 cup chopped up lemongrass 1 inch piece of a fresh Jalapeno pepper 1 teaspoon of powdered turmeric (or better yet, freshly ground turmeric root) 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt To prepare 1. Open the coconut. (It took me one minute by using my chisel and a hammer. I made a round circle on the top, then flipped it open.) 2. Pour the coconut water into a large bowl, and from that, into your Blendtec Total blender. Then set the coconut aside. You will scoop out the "meat" later. 3. Cut the garlic cloves into a few pieces and put into blender. 4. Peel and grate the ginger and put the gratings into the blender. 5. Add the lemongrass, jalapeno pepper, turmeric and Celtic sea salt to the blender, and blend. 6. Now scoop out the coconut "meat" and add to blender. Blend until smooth. 7. Pour into bowls and eat. Enjoy! (Serves 8) Ingredients 2 cups macadamia nuts, soaked 8 hours and drained 2 cups filtered water 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt 1 teaspoon turmeric powder or grated fresh turmeric root 4 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 2 hours Juice of 1 lemon 1 cup pine nuts, soaked 8 hours and drained 6 cups cauliflower florets To prepare 1. Place macadamia nuts, filtered water, salt, turmeric, sun-dried tomatoes and lemon juice in a Blendtec Total blender. Blend until smooth. 3. Chop cauliflower into small pieces and place in a casserole dish. 4. Stir dressing into cauliflower and serve. 5. Casserole may be covered with plastic wrap and placed in a dehydrator for two hours to soften and warm the cauliflower. Serve immediately. This can be a complete meal with a green salad. |
