Rainbow Spring Rolls With Peanut Dipping Sauce

This is so my kind of meal! It’s refreshing, crunchy, nutritious and it tastes amazing. It’s a fun, colorful way to give your body an array of veggies and to truly “taste the rainbow”.

I also love the fact that you can switch out what you put in these with the same wrappers and sauce, which gives you near-endless options to vary this recipe and make it new each time you prepare it. It also makes it a great recipe to use whatever odds and ends veggies you need to use up in your fridge.

Chia Oat Porridge With Berries: A Radical Radiance Recipe

This is one of my absolute favorite breakfasts. If I don’t have a smoothie, it’s generally this recipe that I’m eating. In fact, when I have this around, it also sometimes serves as a great snack or dessert that satisfies, tastes great and is oh-so-good for us! I also love that you can make this in a big batch and it will keep for a couple days. It takes time for the chia to expand and be ready, so I like to make it at night before going to bed and when I wake up the next morning, voila! It’s ready.

Warming Spicy Green Juice: A Radical Radiance Recipe

Warming Spicy Green Juice: A Radical Radiance Recipe

People often ask me how it’s possible to handle drinking cold juice during the winter, whether that’s in the context of a Juice Feast, or just adding fresh juice to your normal eating routine. I discussed this more in-depth in my post, How to Juice Cleanse in Cold Weather, but one of the tricks is to use lots of cayenne and ginger. This is a good tip if you want to eat a lot of raw food in winter, too.

Quinoa Chickpea Veggie Salad Recipe

I love this recipe! You can eat it as is, you can put it over even more greens, you could scoop it up to eat in some butter lettuce leaves. Between the quinoa and chickpeas, it’s a protein-rich meal, and of course with all the veggies, it’s even more nutrient-dense! You could probably consider it a high-raw meal, since all the veggies and herbs are raw.

Pineapple Green Smoothie – A Radical Radiance Recipe

Hi again! I’ve been on a kick with this green smoothie for a few days now; I can’t get enough! I thought I’d share it with you, too. It’s a bit more of a fruity smoothie, but works well for pre-workout, which is what I planned for this morning. I personally find my body can handle fruit well if I don’t combine too many other types of foods with it, and if I also get some good dark greens somewhere else in the day. This smoothie makes me think of spring, and even though it’s still a little chilly outside, I know it’s going to be a staple for the hot summer weather that is slowly approaching!

Red Bell Pepper Green Juice: A Radical Radiance Recipe

Red Bell Pepper Green Juice: A Radical Radiance Recipe

Bell pepper is one of my favorite things to make juice with. I think it tastes good with almost anything! It adds just a tinge of sweet but really isn’t high-glycemic at all. Yum! This juice still is green when it’s done because it just has 1 red bell pepper in it, but feel free to try it with more!

Reddish Beet Kale Green Juice – A Radical Radiance Recipe

Reddish Beet Kale Green Juice – A Radical Radiance Recipe

Though this juice is reddish because of the beet, it is a green juice! And it can be fun to introduce people to green juice through juices with beet, because the color isn’t as repulsive as when it’s green. It’s really just placebo, but it’s awesome!

“Snow Shake” Green Smoothie – A Radical Radiance Recipe

I unintentionally made a very festive smoothie the other day and I decided to re-create it and record all the quantities for you! This is a thick (thought you could make it any consistency you like), really satisfying treat. I say treat because it has a fair amount of fruit in it, but also SO much spinach – a really good greens hit!

Green Juice With Carrot – A Radical Radiance Recipe

Green Juice With Carrot – A Radical Radiance Recipe

Today I decided to go for something a little darker green than my last juice recipe (Parsley Punch Green Juice), with just a little carrot to sweeten. This definitely tastes green, but is oh-so-good for you! It is the kind of green juice, however, that probably wouldn’t be as good if it’s been sitting for a while, so I would recommend drinking this one straight away if you can.

Parsley Punch Green Juice: A Radical Radiance Recipe

Hello again, friends! I woke up to a sunny autumn morning and had the joy of getting some new plants for my home. Included is a new plant I’ve never had called a Goldfish, which I’m utterly in love with. As in, I think it’s so pretty I coo at it when I walk by. It is a great morning to make a delicious green juice and share the recipe with you!

Peachy Kale Green Smoothie: A Radical Radiance Recipe

Clearly I am enthusiastic about juice: I coach juice cleansing! However, I do love myself a good green smoothie when I’m not cleansing. This recipe is great if you want a light smoothie that makes you feel energized and alkalized without feeling heavy in your tummy. I often have green smoothies pre- and post- workout. This morning, though, it was my breakfast!

My March Juice Cleanse, Days 1-4

My March Juice Cleanse, Days 1-4

I am chuckling at myself because every time I post the first blog of my juice cleanses every few months, I am always compelled with starting off by talking about the weather. Sigh…  Anyways, the weather is gorgeous and has been in the 50’s here in Philadelphia. It really feels like Spring and this feels like a Spring Juice Cleanse!

Recipe: Dessert Spice Superfood Smoothie

Happy February, juicy ones!

I’m enjoying the slightly warmer weather and more frequent sunny days here in Philly, which received approximately 1/348874th an inch of snow from storm Nemo. But no matter how cold or warm it is, I love my superfood smoothies. I have a smoothie almost every day, usually as breakfast but sometimes as dinner, particularly if I’ve just finished a workout and don’t want to eat anything very heavy before heading off to bed.
