Mandarin Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

Mandarin oranges are juiced creating a tangy base full of vitamin C, an entire cup of raspberries brighten the bowl and are blended with bananas for added creaminess. I added a tsp of moringa for a natural source of vitamins for the day. If that weren't enough it is then topped with fresh banana slices, raspberry chia jam and fresh raspberries creating one irresistible breakfast, snack or dessert. My husband said he should feel guilty for having ice cream for breakfast yet since it is created with smoothie ingredients of bananas, berries and moringa it creates one guilt-free delicious meal. Why did I used Moringa? Moringa is rich in minerals and vitamins boasting 25 times for Iron than Spinach, 15 times the potassium of bananas and 17 times more calcium than milk. It has vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, C, D, E and K with calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese and zinc to name of a few reasons why I think it is a great edition to your kitchen! The benefits go on and on, read more here if you are interested in learning more. Total Time: 10 Minutes | Servings: 2 Smoothie Bowls

Notes:
Happy Holidays! Love, Christa Have you ever had that chocolate craving sneak up on you, yet you don't have anything prepared and are not really in the mood to bake or make something glorious? If you do, this recipe may be just for you. It was created in such a moment of intense desire for chocolate with no desire for baking. A raw, no-bake, healthy dessert was ours in no time. Blend, Pulse, Scrape, Roll, Freeze and in 30 minutes eat. Okay, sold! Plus the flavors of nut butter, dates, agave, cacao and a dash of salt had my craving scratched especially with the fun outer coating with hints of cacao nibs. This is a great recipe for any time of the year during any time of the day. Total Time: 45 Minutes | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Freeze Time: 30 Minutes +

This salad is a delightful array of colors and textures. Each bite is exciting bursting with flavor with a new dimension of crunch, crisp, sweet, spicy with a little tang. Add balsamic vinaigrette and stand back as flavors unite harmoniously! I made us this salad early on this month and keep going back for more as it's so delicious and it makes you feel fantastic!

Homemade nut milk is as easy as 1, 2, 3! I made a short 1 minute video showing how to make nut milk. Watch and learn how to make yours! We've been making our own for about 4-5 years now and love the varieties you can make. One of our favorites is cashew milk (demonstrated) as there is little to none to filter out making it that much easier. We use homemade milk in coffee, smoothies, soups, baking and as called for or needed. Learning how to make our own has changed our lives. 2 ingredients vs. a small paragraph makes me happy knowing exactly what goes in it. Ingredients:
Feel free to try a variety of nuts or even oats, flax seeds, coconut meat, soy beans or rice! Add vanilla, sweeten with stevia or as preferred if you like yours sweet, add chocolate, fruit and most of all have fun! You can even add more nuts for a thicker milk, I've used up to 1 cup with 4 cups of water. Soaking raw cashews (almonds etc) overnight makes it even creamier and easier to blend, plus it is healthier too!

We went on a drive this weekend to a cute mountain town and found berries for sale on the side of the road! They were fresh and tasted like they were just picked and washed that morning and the price was incredibly affordable. Neither of us had seen such huge, sweet berries and were so pleased we picked up a little extra on our way back home. I offered a list of dessert ideas to my husband and he picked ice cream! I thought I'd make a quick video so you can see how I make it. Now you can enjoy healthy, vegan, raw, refined sugar & gluten-free ice cream too! A few pictures of our drive... We went out to eat a Chinese Restaurant and were able to get a big arrangement of vegan food with some to take home. It goes to show you can be vegan on the road! Back to the ice cream, watch this video to see how to make it or see below! Ingredients
I love getting a fresh sweet smelling pineapple from the market. I don't know why I don't get more than 1 or 2 as it seems they disappear all too quickly. This last week I made healthy frozen desserts using only four healthy ingredients for one sweet treat. Pineapple, bananas, cranberries and pecans are alchemically combined for bliss in each bite. The crust is made with pecans and cranberries, topped with banana slices, pureed pineapple, more banana slices and cranberry gems for a beautiful dessert. With no refined sugars, dairy or gluten you can have more than one and still feel great! Total Time: 4+ Hours Freeze | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Servings: 6 Ingredients:

P.S. - The Artistic Vegan Cookbook is available for pre-sale! The book is complete with over 150 vegan + gluten-free recipes, a meal plan and it even includes my vegan story. It is over 400 pages and will be ready for you by the end of this month! I'm making the final adjustments now. I was hoping to have it out in July but as the Rolling Stones song goes "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need..."
Have a wonderful weekend ~ Love, Christa Liver & Blood Detox Elixir

We recently enjoyed a Liver & Blood Cleanse that tastes surprisingly good. My goal was taste with full cleansing efforts. Cleansing your liver can relieve fatigue, body aches and nausea. It also helps regulate your blood sugar levels, relieve allergies, increases the amount of amino acids that reach your cells and so much more. Once your liver is working optimally it can increase your overall energy levels. Read more about the benefits and side effects here. With all of the taxing duties we impose on our liver, even just through the environment, it is important to give it a little care. Give this smoothie a try and see how you feel! Servings: 2 Elixirs
