Raw Vegan Coconut Date Shake by The Blender Girl

This shake is absolutely scrumptious! Throw some dates in the blender with some bananas, almond milk and coconut water, and prepare for pure heaven. You can substitute cashew milk if you want a richer, more buttery shake, and you could always add a spoonful of coconut butter and lecithin to make it even more creamy. It depends on how…

Vegan Brown Rice Banana Smoothie by The Blender Girl

I made this brown rice milk smoothie and it was nothing short of spectacular. OK – so it will be affectionately reserved for the “I don’t care about carb overload” trough for future emotional emergencies. But hey – I might just have to pull it out in times of celebration too! It is really that good. Rich, thick, creamy, and delicious.…

Gluten-Free Vegan Brandy Cream by The Blender Girl

This vegan incantation of my mom's sensational recipe can be made in five minutes and is utterly divine. This cream is delicious poured over Christmas pudding, fruit cake or berries. Or, try the "scoff-straight-out-of-the-blender" approach that I have been sprung indulging in this week! I deliberately kept this blend mild to…

Celery crackers with tofu and onion salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love celery! And most of all I love crunchy edible stuff! I found out this recipe a long time ago and I finally decided to make it. These crackers are the perfect combination and you can eat them with almost any salty meal. About tofu....what can I say?! At first I didn't like it so much, but know I enjoy it more than I used to…

Peanut Butter Banana Tortilla Snack by Spicie Foodie

Peanut Butter Banana Tortilla Snack or roll-ups, wow that's a name. Well I don't actually know what to call these yummy snacks, so that will have to do. My husband is the one who actually introduced me to and told me about the existence of these. He told me that in the American Southwest they are called peanut butter roll ups and are…

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto by CrunchyLettuce

Who doesn’t crave pasta? I certainly do. Classic comfort food, right? But no one wants to wake up in the morning with carb face :) The solution: raw zucchini “noodles”! Don’t underestimate the simplicity of this dish. This pesto really is delicious. And the noodle texture is surprisingly similar to regular fettuccine noodles.

Minty Broccoli Soup by gypsy696

Nice way to get your kids to eat their greens. You can have this raw as well - I just needed some heat in my body last nite.

Guava, Mulberry and Maple Salad by gypsy696

This is a really easy salad/dessert to make with very few ingredients. I added a couple of broken down pieces of my flaxseed chikki for added crunch. Flaxseed chikki is really easy to make – just melt some jaggery or brown sugar in a pan. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add the flax seeds. Stir well. Transfer to a flat bottomed pan and cut…

No-Bake Apple Tart by Rich H

Get in on the raw food movement! Raw fruits and veggies are really the best way to enjoy all the healthy benefits of a plant-based diet. While I am not a raw foodist in general, I do enjoy raw dishes now and again and really enjoy seeing what I can come up with in the lab (aka kitchen)! Try this one...you'll love it!

Insalata di arance rosse by Frank Fariello

I recently found some blood oranges from California at the market--and I love blood oranges--so I made a blood orange salad as 'dessert': you just peel and slice the oranges, sprinkle over some black olives (Gaeta or nicoise are best), bits of red onion and parsley. Season with a bit (not much) of salt and pour over un filo d'olio.…

Marinated champignons with lentils and cashew sauce by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love marinated mushrooms. Actually I love apple vinegar with honey! This recipe is the perfect combination of tastes. The acid flavor of vinegar combined with the sweetness of cashew sauce blend magically. This dish is perfect for hot summer days, it is very light and refreshing.

Meatless Humpday! Not Your Grandpas' Spinach Salad! by kathy gori

Who says the only meatless day is Monday? The middle of the week, when things get crazy is also the time for something fast and simple that doesn't involve turning on the stove. This is about a spinach salad that makes up in minutes, has interesting flavors and is not like your average spinach salad. I learned about this from one of…

Raw Vegan Zesty Lime Corn Salad by The Blender Girl

This raw vegan corn salad is super easy and absolutely scrumptious. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of corn. Well the vegetable variety anyway. I don’t cook with it very often as I can think of so many other more nutritious vegetables I prefer to work with. But there is something about the light zestiness of the lime juice and…
