Raw Matcha Latte

One of my favorite after dinner treats used to be the matcha latte I would get from a favorite sushi restaurant of mine in NYC.  The creamy mellow sweetness had me hooked everytime …Of course it was made with thick frothy milk and sweetened with sugar.  So excited to have come up with this thick frothy treat to satisfy my matcha latte craving without the milk or the sugar! You can even add some raw protein powder for the perfect post workout treat.

1 c green hemp milk*

1 T lucuma powder

1 tsp matcha powder

1/4 tsp vanilla powder

raw honey or sweetener of choice to taste

Blend all ingredients except matcha powder well in high speed blender until smooth.  Add matcha powder and blend again.  Yum!
*To make green hemp milk, blend 1/4-1/3 c green hemp seed meal (depending on desired thickness) with 1 c water and strain through a nut mylk bag.

Vanilla Goji Lemonade

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! This is an awesome drink to keep you hydrated throughout the day (and perfect for those who need a little extra flavor in their water to make it palatable)!

Vanilla Goji Lemonade pre-soaking

24 oz purified water

1/2 lemon

1/2 lime

3 handfuls goji berries (approximately 3/4c)

1/2 tsp vanilla powder

optional: 2 T chia seeds

optional: vanilla stevia

Put 3 handfuls of goji berries in a 32 oz jar and add lemon, vanilla, chia if desired, and a few drops of vanilla stevia if you desire a sweeter drink.  Fill jar with water, place lid on the jar and shake, making sure that all gojis are covered with water.  Let jar sit in the fridge for 3 hours or longer so gojis get fully rehydrated and plump.  Drink as is allowing for a delightful little goji surprise with each sip or drink the water first and use a spoon to finish the gojis at the end.  Adding chia will simply give your lemonade an additional boost of hydration and fiber.  No need to worry about the chia changing the lovely sweet lemon taste as chia is flavorless

This smoothie is a great source of vegan Omega 3 & 6 without the heaviness of oil. This will keep you going for hours without an increase in blood sugar levels. Excellent source of dietary fiber, especially if you add the zucchini. For those who find maca on its own harder to swallow, the flavors of this smoothie combine really well and are even mellowed out by the zucchini. Feel free to experiment with other spices too! Green Leaf stevia is less processed than white or liquid stevia and actually helps stabilize blood sugar levels to keep your pancreas and liver happy.

The water and mineral content of the Himalaya salt will help you stay hydrated, it also brings out the sweetness of the stevia. Remember that chia can hold up to 14 times its weight in water so be sure to stay hydrated through out the day to keep things moving along in your colon. Drinking chia smoothies regularly (along with hydrating adequately, gentle exercise like yoga and a diet high in raw vegetables) is bound to keep your internal elimination organs healthy and clean. Chia’s absorbing properties help draw out toxins and the hard shell can clean the intestinal walls.

All in all, a fabulous life-affirming smoothie! May you enjoy radiant health & happiness!!!

Often in the evenings I find myself wanting a creamy, warm and soothing beverage. Usually I'll make a chai maca milk which is perfect but usually sweetened. I rummaged through my cupboards trying to find the right combination of things that wouldn't require a concentrated sweetener. This little Cashew Spice Milk is what I came up with.

Cashew Spice Milk

1/2 cup Raw Cashews
1 tbs. mesquite
1 tbs. Lucuma Powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. Vanilla Powder
1 tsp. suma powder
stevia to taste
pinch of himalayan pink salt
3 cups water
2 tbs. Cacao Butter, melted

Combine all ingredients except cacao butter in a high-speed blender. Blend on high. While running slowly drizzle in cacao butter. You can add a little warm water for a warm beverage of some ice cubes for a cool, frothy delight.
