MMM I'm completely addicted to my early morning green smoothies! After one of these babies I feel like I have enough energy to lead an army. Give one a try and you will begin to believe in the benefits of raw foods. Which, by the way, I definitely need to write a detailed post about sometime soon!

So I'm completely obsessed with raw desserts. Every time I go to a raw food restaurant I just quiver when I see the options. Although I'm well aware that the desserts aren't healthy for me simply because they're raw (eating a dessert is still eating a dessert), that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to indulge in raw deliciousness!

Ok, so as my addiction to raw desserts continues, I also wanted to learn how to make delicious raw vegan icecream (it's my favorite!!). You can make some very simple recipes by blending up a banana and some almond milk, maybe some vanilla and letting it freeze (or a frozen banana and mixing in almond milk and vanilla), but here is a more complex, delicious recipe! I got this recipe from EverydayRaw also (by Matthew Kenney)

Okay so one of the first things I fell in love with that fell into a raw food diet was almond milk! You can buy it at the store but if you make it yourself there is NOTHING else like it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! You either need a soymilk maker - like the Soyabella or a blender, like the Vita-Mix 4500 and a fine mesh screen.

As I said in my last post, I'm on a bit of a green juices and smoothies ride right now. I just can't get enough of them! I love to make healthy green smoothies for breakfast (which is strange, because I normally don't even like smoothies that much!) But I just can't seem to get enough of them!

Maybe it's the weather (it's been super rainy over here) but I've been feeling a little ... in french you would say mouche. It means blaaahhh! hehe. So, I decided to look up a recipe that's good for depression. I will likely do a whole other post on depression. But just in case you are feeling down and need a little pick- me-up, give this juice a try!
