Also known as the “Bunny Smoothie” back in our Kindfood days. We always make our own fresh carrot and ginger juice – it’s so easy. Commercially prepared juices are pasteurized, which causes so much nutrient loss.  With the cinnamon and banana, this smoothie tastes like that classic dessert we can’t resist! Active time: 5 minutes Total time: 5 minute 2 large carrots, peeled 1-inch piece of ginger 1 cup almond milk ½ avocado 1 frozen banana, chopped into 1-inch pieces 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut Pinch of cinnamon In a juicing machine, juice the carrots and the ginger just before you make the smoothie. In a heavy-duty blender on high speed, blend 2/3 cup of the carrot/ginger juice with the milk, avocado, banana chunks, coconut and cinnamon until smooth. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings Did you know? Pasteurization involves heating to kill any harmful bacteria. Unfortunately, the process also kills…

Cucumber is probably the best NATURAL diuretic known to mankind, secreting and promoting the flow of urine. Thinking detox? This is your best juice in the morning to help your body continue it’s elimination process and enhance a healing state. Cucumber Juice also has many more valuable properties too. For example, the promotion of hair growth, due to high silicon and sulphur content, particularly when mixed with carrot, lettuce and spinach juice. Cucumbers contains more than 40% potassium, 10% sodium, 8% calcium. 20% phosphorus and 7% choline. I LOVE Cucumber juice and try my best to make it a staple in my daily diet by incorporating it with lemons and apples. I know it has helped my skin and my hair tremendously. Just think how quickly all the daily pollutants and toxins get pulled from my body…quicker than most….all because I’m nourishing it with LIVE living food that is working…

I thought I’d share this healthy and delicious smoothie. We featured it often at our restaurant, LettuceLove Cafe, and the customers always love it! It tastes like Carrot Cake which makes it an instant “FALL IN LOVE” moment with the kids and if any of you know me by now, you know that this is ALWAYS my primary focus. To get kids turned ON to loving REAL FOOD!! For me, I’m always thinking about children’s palates (their sense of taste) and how they have changed over the past 30 years. So many children now have been swayed from healthy, whole food by the likes of McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Mars (Bar) Incorporated, Dairy Industry, Sugar Assoc.(Washington DC), etc. that they have no clear idea what REAL food should taste like and are subjected to the daily onslaught of media propaganda and peer pressure. It takes brave moms and dads and other care-givers…

Just by the sheer taste of this on it’s own, you would be surprised at the many health benefits of celery juice. The benefits of celery juice far outweigh the taste of it. For many, celery juice can taste salty and quite frankly, yucky and that is due to the natural salty (natural sodium) composition of this nutritious vegetable. I love juicing it as I can I can get so much juice from it and it is easily mixed with organic green apple juice and/or parsley juice to get a well balanced, more palatable flavour and I love it to start my day as often as possible. This vegetable is an all round body regulator. It is high in magnesium and this is a mineral that helps to reduce our stress levels and allow us to cope better and sleep well at night. It improves our immune system and reduces…

Beet ‘Em to the Finish Line Beetroot juice is becoming the fitness world’s newest natural energy drink. Some studies are showing that it gives athletes an extra edge in endurance and speed, taking precious seconds off competitive times. Beetroot is naturally high in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide, a gas that actually widens blood vessels. The widening blood vessels bring more oxygen to the muscles and increases an athlete’s efficiency. According to a study in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, drinking beetroot juice helps shave off seconds for competitive-level cyclists. Researchers studied nine competitive male cyclists while they competed in two time trials. Let’s break down their study: Before each trial, all of the cyclists drank half a litre of beetroot juice. Time Trial #1 – The cyclists all had regular beetroot juice. Time Trial #2 – Without knowing, the cyclists drank beetroot…
