Home Made Velvet Ginger Lemonade by The Blender Girl

When the universe gives you lemons – make naturally sweetened ginger lemonade! I remembered a frothy Lebanese lemonade my friend Christine made with a whole lemon. The zest from the whole lemon adds a strong, aromatic citrus essence, and the freshly grated ginger adds a special zing that makes this lemonade extraordinary. Those of you…

Vegan Gluten Free Skordalia by The Blender Girl

Do yourself a favour and partake of this simple rustic treat inspired by the fabulous spud. As anyone will happily agree – a spud is never a dud; and these mashed spuds are simple and sublime. There are a ton of fantastic skordalia recipes out there. A lot of them use crusty bread, which is of course, is a recipe for disaster, for…

SWEET: grapes by katerina papaspiliopoulou

OK – So this shake is absolutely scrumptious. I cannot rave enough about it. This shake is decadent, rich, creamy, and delicious. If you want to make this shake colder, add in some ice cubes.

Vegan Coconut, Almond or Cashew Milk by Jill

Great replacement for soy milk. Much less expensive than buying already prepared and tastes just as good. Works very well in coffee and cereals! Excellent for Raw diets. I"ve only made these using my Vita-mix but I'm sure a regular blender will work too, just take a bit longer with a bit more wasted pulp. When you are ready to…
