Raw Munchies!

Hello all you future Health ‘Nuts’!

I hope you enjoyed our health segment tonight – Stephany and I sure had fun shooting it

As promised I’ll pass along two of my favorite raw recipes:

1. Pineapple Ginger Apple Reviver

This is a fairly easy drink to make, provided you have a juicer.  If not, you can still mix the ingredients in a powerful blender and make a smoothie out of it.  It will have pulp in it, but just consider that your daily dose of fiber. If possible, try to stick to organic ingredients. Also try to eat all ingredients at room temperature, it’s not such a shock to the body that way.

I large, ripe pineapple

4 – 5 medium Granny Smith apples

A 1″ chunk of fresh ginger root

Juice or blend all ingredients and enjoy! 

 

2. Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup with Lime

This is from one of my favorite raw cook books, Raw Food – Real World.  It’s filling and easy to make and you can even warm it slightly (under 118 degrees) to help take the chill out of a winters night.

3 cups carrot juice

1 small, ripe avocado

1/3 cup coconut meat (from young Thai Coconuts)

1/4 cup lime juice

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teasppon sea salt

a few sprigs of cilantro for that extra kick

2 tablespoons lime juice or oil (to drizzle as a garnish)

 

Yummy!
