Green Recipes
This is my new favorite green smoothie. It is smooth & creamy, low fat and alkalizing. I add dehydrated shredded / desiccated coconut & chill for a beautiful pudding. You could probably add thick creamed coconut for a smooth pudding also, but I have not tried that yet. But I plan to!!! MMMmmmm
This is a wonderful raw version of the traditional broccoli salad with bacon and cheddar. Someone else deserves the credit for this recipe, but I can’t remember where I got it from. Sorry!
I am not a huge fan of onions, so I prefer to use only 1/4 cup, and add the onion to the dressing ingredients in the blender. I also sometimes throw the broccoli in the dehydrator for a while before I mix it with the other ingredients, just to soften it up a little.
This is a recipe for a spinach caesar salad (make a more traditional caesar by substituting 1 large head of lettuce for the spinach). Recipe by Rhio in her book Hooked on Raw.
I call it a milkshake cause that’s what it reminds me of. Thick creamy and MMMM… Although it should be kept in mind that it has been five years since I had a “real” milkshake so… heheh, I’m sure a triple thick Rotten Ronnie fan would violently disagree!
Add all ingredients into blender and blend on high for 30 seconds (or more or less, depending on the power of your blender).
Nothing too unique…just really yummy!
This is my standard morning smoothie. It brightens my day and keeps me going for hours.
Ok I did this because 1 there are none on here and 2 we are going to be called GONE Desserts if we don’t start making some recipes for better life. This juice is great, and I can only vouch for the mylk bag technique for this, as I don’t have a juicer. I have this juice everyday that I pack in my mason jars for work. It is great for all you TEA lovers who just need that taste of tea.
Like the stuff in the sushi bar. That stuff comes from a giant vat shipped from Asia, and has cooked oils and sugar, so your will be much fresher and healthier!
My first green smoothie recipe to make! Very yummy and energizing. My favorite fruit smoothie was always Strawberry Banana with a bit of orange, so I added the spinach and it was a winner! This smoothie keeps well overnight in the fridge for a great ‘to go’ breakfast.
A simple, mild guacamole. The recipe is based on one found in an old Better Homes and Gardens Mexican cookbook from the 70’s. I updated a bit with a few healthier ingredients, but the taste is quite similar.
This beautiful dressing will make you crave salad. Even my kids ask for it! All credit goes to Wendy Rudell and her book Raw Transformation. I always use fresh basil and cut the garlic in half to taste. When out of honey we have used agave nectar or a single date and it’s just as delicious.
For those who want a quick drink without juicing, here’s a nice one using a blender. This smoothie is runny enough to be called juice without having to extract it by straining. It is very simple, yet so delicious and REFRESHING!
Tropical because of the fruit. Suburban Summer, because the blended greens give the refreshing smell of freshly cut grass in the summer in the ‘burbs. (I don’t ever get that aroma in the city!)
I have been experimenting with green smoothies, and trying to move past just using spinach. At Trader Joe’s I found in a bag, already washed and cut, ready to use “Southern Greens” that includes collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, and spinach. I also got a variety of organic frozen fruit… makes smoothies quick and easy!!
I am trying to get into green smoothies. The only leafy green that I had in the house was organic romaine lettuce. So, this morning I gave this a whirl, and was pleasantly surprised!
so this isn’t COMPLETELY raw… i’m really knew to eating a high-raw diet. i ussually have this later in the day and consume all raw fruits/veggies before this… SO.. if you know of ways to make this more/completely raw then go for it! and tell me too :)
One version of my favorite raw dish ever. I ate this for Christmas dinner and at least three (non-raw) tablemates kept leaning over to pick at my plate! Red lentils are the most consistently cooperative sprouters I’ve encountered so far: I love them for that; plus they taste fantastic and add a lovely splash of color wherever they’re used. Kale is both hearty and versatile, with a wonderfully resilient texture which, marinated, complements the lentils beautifully.
This smoothie is a great “pick me up” if you are feeling low-energy or down. After 1 sip I can start to feel my heart beating faster!
This has been my new favorite breakfast smoothie for the past week!!!! MMmmmmm
Just had this for my lunch – the lettuce doesn’t really get a look in flavour wise but it gave me a big chocolate hit whilst still getting some vits from the lettuce! :-)
I would’ve never dreamed these could taste so amazing…they are supremely addicting! Plus, it’s a super way to greens into your diet. I could eat 3-4 bunches of kale straight this way! This is also a great movie snack or to make with kids!
Refreshing and delightlfully light while also completely filling. Easily combines cilantro for toxin mobilization and chlorella for toxin removal. An inspired version from one of Sarma Melngalis’s cilantro smoothiea
Super simple, quick and easy, nutritious and delicious. What more can I say? The funny thing about this is I do not care for any of these items alone but together… together they are one of my favorite foods!
This is the best green smoothie I have ever had!!!! I just wanted to share it with you all so you could enjoy it too. It actually comes out a lovely purple-ish color. If it isn’t sweet enough you can add honey or something. I’m sure many of you drink something like this often, but I just wanted to share my variation, (also since some people were asking for lighter recipes) well here’s mine, anyway. I hope you like!!!!!
A breakfast smoothie that tastes like buckwheat pancakes, according to my 17-year-old daughter! What the…
Really gets you energized in the morning. Only use bee products that are local to your area, otherwise stick to other sweeteners like dates. A pear might also go really nice in place of the bee products. My local coops discount fruit bins have been overflowing with perfectly ripe mangos and pineapples.
This definatly perks you up in the morning. Tangy and spicy.
My first recipe, my favorite green smoothie, named after a Vincent Price movie.
This is my favourite green smoothie, its delicious. I make it in the morning before getting ready and once I’ve peeled the mango I smear the skin all over my face, leave it for about 5 minutes and then rinse off. It’s a great skin toner and gives my face that little zing all day long :-)
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and it will be my first St. Pattie’s day 100% raw, so I’m in the midst of re-creating my favorite dishes for the holiday. This one will definately satisfy your “green” sweet tooth!
One of the most fantastic green smoothie ever! Here’s the recipe for those who want to experience the taste of orange and green mingled bliss…

Delightful cupcakes to satisfy your raw green sweet tooth for St. Pattie’s Day or any old time.
The peaches are perfect in lifting the greens, the color is beautiful, and the blueberries makes this smoothie decadent
I made this juice up today, when I wanted to have something green, refreshing, and use up my kale. Measurements are not exact, so add or take away what you desire to make this green envy your own. I added the juice to a tall glass of purified ice cubes…and saved the pulp to make crackers later in the dehydrator.
Start out with the fruits in blender with about 1/4 cup of water to get a nice base going. Then slowly add ingredients in whatever the heck order you want until a nice non-chunky green…unless you like it chunky, in which case: LEAVE IT CHUNKY! May finish with chunks of apple to eat like soup. Mmmm juicy.
So simple, so yummy!
I was craving broccoli last night but I didn’t feel like chewing anything, so I put together this powerful and very filling green smoothie. Kept me full for hours! The broccoli gives this a really cool flavor – don’t know how to describe it other than just try it!
Okay, I just had a craving for some kiwis and I just came up with this drink… it serves one and it is bliss.
This is a heavenly sweet and creamy smoothie for hot summer days.
