Raw Food Post-Workout Recovery Drink

Casey — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 20:10:06 +0000

Here’s the recipe for my Raw Food Recovery Drink. I like do make one of these up after an intense workout, yoga session, or bike ride. It’s 100% natural and raw. Substitute this for a vegan alternative to the over-processed Muscle Milk and other protein drinks.

Greens, Peach & Kale Smoothie

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:56:26 +0000

Simply: 3 medium Peaches (without pits) 2 Bananas 5 Stalks of Kale Blend everything together, adding water if you need to thin it out. This is another simple, great source of fruit and vegetables in one drink. Very palatable. You’re kids will even love it!

Banana Mint Smoothie

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:56:00 +0000

1/2 Cup of Water
3 Sprigs of Mint
1/2 Cup of Spinach
4 Bananas, peeled

Blend all of the ingredients together for a cooling banana smoothie. This is such an excellent way to mix fruits and vegetables together into a smoothie that feels awesome in your mouth.

Make sure you experiment with mint in your smoothies for the ultimate raw vegan smoothies possible. Try it on a hot summer day, or when you’re stuck inside and want to feel like it’s the summer.

Kiwi Banana Smoothie for Raw Vegans

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:55:37 +0000

2 Kiwi’s – with or without skin 1 Banana 2 Oranges (peeled) 1 Mango 1/2 Apple (for sweetness, to taste) Blend it or juice it. You’re going to love the taste! The apple is just for taste — I don’t put apple in most of the time, unless I am in the mood for a really sweet juice. Apples can change the entire flavor, and have a high water content. Use as much, or as little apple as you’d like. The kiwi’s have a great flavor, without being acidic. They go so well with bananas. Think of how good you’ll feel when you have one of these! This is a real treat. ** For an extra special summer dessert, try this blended with ice for a cold creamy consistency.

Simple Carrot and Greens Juice

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:55:11 +0000

Ingredients: 2 Handfuls of Spinach 3-4 large Carrots This is a super easy pick-me-up. Just throw 3-4 carrots and a few handfuls of spinach or arugula into your blender/juicer and drink the sweet green nectar that comes out. This is great for the end of the week, when you’re low on the fancy stuff that we all love. Simple, easy, and delicious. What more can you ask for in a raw vegan juicing recipe?!

Green Mango Smoothie

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:54:48 +0000

Ingredients: 1 cup Water 2 Mangos 2 cups Spinach 1-2 stalks Kale Blend this all together and drink as soon as possible. The mango flavor is perfect for the summer, and takes away the bitter flavor of the greens. An awesome favorite of many of my friends.

Muscle Building, Super Bendy Green Breakfast Smoothie

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:53:58 +0000

1 Large Handful of Spinach 1 Large Handful of Parsley 2 stalks of Rainbow Chard 1 Bell Pepper (any color) 2 Cloves of Garlic 1 inch of Ginger 3 Carrots Juice or blend all ingredients. This is super awesome for your post-workout, or anytime through-out the day. Remember — your body builds its muscle at night, when you’re sleeping. You need to give it everything it could possibly need to make sure you get stronger and get more bendy. This is an excellent way to add more greens to your diet, with or without the fiber. I prefer to blend this, to get everything from all of these wonderful plants. Give it a try — you’ll love the way it makes you feel.

V-8 Clone for Raw Foodists

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:53:26 +0000

2 Servings Juice the following together and enjoy a great clone of the famous V-8. 1 Tomato 2 Carrots 2 Green Onions (omit if you don’t like it ’spicy’) 1 Cup Red Cabbage 1 Bell Pepper (Any color, but red leads to a more red colored drink) 2 Celery stalks 1/2 Cucumber I love to drink this if I know I won’t get great nutrients when I go out. If I’m heading to the bar with some friends, I’ll drink a V-8 Clone and stick with water at the bar. This will keep you dancing all night long!

Super Simple Raw Carrot Juice

Casey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:53:05 +0000

Simply take half dozen carrots and stick them in your juicer! The high B-complex vitamins and calcium are an added bonus, as are the healthy servings of copper, magnesium, potassium, iron, folic acid, and phosphorus. Drink this whenever you’re low on produce, or just want something simple. Always a delicious and healthy way to get your vitamin B!
