These past two months have been a whirlwind of guests and travel, both of which I love! I’m excited to share with you over the course of the next few posts my travels including the beautiful sights, vegan eats and where we stayed. Since having moved here I’ve finally gotten to explore travel outside of […]
Apricots with Spiced Banana Nice Cream
It’s officially summer today woohoo! My favorite fruits are those of the summer. It makes it so easy to stay raw cause I can just feed off watermelon, peaches, cherries and apricots all day! Unfortunately here in La Spezia (Italy) summer has yet to show its face. It’s a huge change for me adjusting to […]
Guest Post: Day 5 Raw Food Challenge + Banana Strawberry Basil Ice Cream
Thankfully, it was much cooler today in Santa Cruz, California. We have a beautiful breeze blowing through the new screen door our wonderful landlord installed to make us more comfortable. He is so kind. Fridays and Saturdays I generally try to do a bit of volunteer work. This helps me to feel like I am […]
The Raw Vegan Date Shake
This date shake is so delectable, creamy and sweet it is like a dessert in a glass. It is literally one of my favorites! Last year I visited Palm Springs where they are famous for date shakes. But I found out they were full of ice cream, sugar, milk and they said the dates were […]
Raw Vegan Savory Chipotle Bell Pepper Soup
Here in Los Angeles we are having quite the unusual winter. I have actually had to bring out a couple of my New York winter jackets it has gotten so cold! It has rained more in the past two months than it normally does all year. I am not complaining though cause we definitely need […]
Raw Banana Ice Cream Parfait
I have been working a lot on raw dessert recipes. For one, because with these 85 degree days here in L.A. I am often desiring ice cream, sorbet or a cold refreshing dessert. But, also because I think about the fact that so many kids eat so much junk with sweets, candy, soda, etc. that […]
Carrot-Orange-Ginger Soup
With winter here, many people ask me how I eat raw foods and stay warm? Usually when it’s cold out people tend to crave warm, comforting foods and so the idea of eating raw food isn’t appealing. First, I must clarify that a raw diet does not mean cold food. But also, it’s interesting that […]
How to Make Delicious Salt & Oil Free Salad Dressings
One of the beauties about eating raw is that you really learn to enjoy the pure, raw, natural taste of food. The taste buds are cleared of all the toxic taste stimulators in processed foods, such as salt, thus the natural flavors of whole foods intensify. So I really like to keep my meals simple […]
Raw Creamy Acorn Squash Soup
One thing I love about squash is that it is so versatile and there are so many varieties to choose from. Now that colder weather is coming, for some of us already here 🙁 , some find it a challenge to maintain a raw diet because they gravitate to warmer, heated foods. What is one […]
