Another day, another salad! There are so many fun veggies and fruits out there that the combinations are endless! I really love this one but I also really love grapefruits so it was perfect for me. If you are not serving this right away, or have leftovers, keep the dressing and grapefruit separate from the greens. This will give you a couple of days to finish the salad.
I love that gorgeous Winter Citrus! Take advantage of it while you can 🙂
Grapefruit and Endive Salad
2 medium grapefruit
2 heads Belgian endive
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons capers
1/2 teaspoon agave
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pound mixed baby greens or mixed salad greens
- Over a bowl, peel grapefruit and cut sections. Place sections on a plate and squeeze the remaining juice out of the membrane and into the bowl.
- Cut endives lengthwise into strips.
- Add salad greens, grapefruit sections, and endive to dressing in bowl.
- In a serving bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, mustard, capers, agave, salt, and 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice. Add the olive oil while whisking the mixture together.
- Either reserve the rest of the grapefruit juice, or drink immediatley like I do!

I love snap peas and peppers! I normally prefer to eat both of them raw (as in plain, straight from the garden, store, fridge) but sometimes it is fun to mix things up. If you do not have a dehydrator just stir-fry them up in the same way. The recipe measurements are approximates as I am more a pour and dash kind of gal 🙂
Raw Snap Peas and Peppers
1 lb fresh sugar snap peas
1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup nama shoyu
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together to coat vegetables. Marinate for 1/2 to 1 hour.
Spread out on a teflex sheet and dehydrate for 1/2 hr., or until snap peas are tender but firm.

mmmmm!! We have been eating Banana Ice Cream for so long and I have never posted it! I am sorry not to have shared this beloved ‘secret’ recipe with everyone before!! It couldn’t be simpler (to make and ingredients) and is so delicious! For us it is super easy because we always keep a bunch of frozen bananas in the freezer to make smoothies and ice cream, so there is no planning for this fabulous dessert, ever! Since this recipe is really just bananas, you can enjoy it anytime; even for breakfast!! How great is that, Ice Cream for Breakfast! There are so many twists and additions you can make with this recipe, so have fun with it! Let me know anything else you try and love!
Banana Ice Cream
1-2 frozen bananas per person serving
any toppings or additions you want to add
So Simple! Just take the bananas and blend away in your Vita-mix, Blend-tec, blender or food processor until smooth. ENJOY 🙂
Suggested Topping or Add-Ins
- The pictures in this post, we used our beloved Agave Pecan Butter, basically making an amazing frozen version of Chocolate-Covered Katie’s Banana Butter
- Sometimes we add in Cocoa Nibs and we get amazing Chocolate Chip Ice cream
- ChocAgave –yummy raw chocolate sauce, or just use regular chocolate syrup
- Goji berries for a great chewy taste
- add other berries in the mixture to change up the taste, or as a topping
- add cocoa powder to make chocolate ice cream
- maca, mesquite, lucuma , protein powders
- have fun, this is such a great treat to play with

Butterscotch Smoothie anyone? OMG! This was so good! Non-green smoothies are rare in my house and normally a weekend treat. This one is perfect for a treat anytime though! SO good! Mesquite is always a great addition. If you have never had it before I would definitely suggest this sweet, butterscotch tasting powder that is made from ground mesquite pods. Check it out here.
Plus they match the wood 🙂
Butterscotch Smoothie
4 large ripe bananas (I used some frozen and some ripe)
1 ½ cups water
4-6 dates
1 tablespoons of agave nectar
2 heaping tablespoons mesquite powder
Also the best thing about this smoothie, is you just put everything in the blender and blend away! You can add more mesquite or sweetener to taste.

Here is another version of a deelish corn soup. This one is simpler but still super good! So easy, so creamy and good! This is best in the summer with fresh corn.

3/4 cup walnuts
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp sea salt
2 cup water
2 avocados, diced

More Apple Cookies 🙂 I am on a kick here. These were great! They had a bunch of ingredients and made a little more than I wanted, but since when do I complain about too much of a good thing?!?! It was a little hard to work with all these ingredients in the food processor. I would suggest processing all the dry ingredients and then pouring that mixture into a large bowl. Then adding the wet ingredients to the processor and then combining dy and wet together…that would simplify matters. But either way I am sure you would be happy with the results. These are good!
Buckwheat Apple Cinnamon Cookies
Recipe from The Sunny Raw Kitchen
makes a big batch of cookies
1 1/2 cups soaked almonds
1 1 /2 cups soaked buckwheat
2 cups apples, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cup dates, soaked
3/4 cup dried coconut
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup agave nectar (or to taste)
1/4 cup liquid vanilla
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup ground oats
1/4 cup ground flax
1 tbs cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup oat flakes
Mix all ingredients except oat flakes in a food processor until well incorporated. (You may need to do this in more than one batch!)
Transfer batter to a large bowl and mix in the oat flakes by hand.
Drop by the spoonful directly onto a dehydrator mesh and flatten with a spatula or a glass. (Mine were about 1/3″ thick.)
Dehydrate overnight at 110.

More oats and chia 🙂 This was great because it was raw and still included oats. Having the oats become saturated by the almond milk overnight really worked! I added a few drops of stevia for some sweetness and raspberries because they are my fave. Yum!
Oats and Chia
serves 2-3
1 cups thick rolled oats (raw if you can find them)
1 cup almond milk, plus more for serving
1 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
pinch of cinnamon
berries
stevia and/or agave to taste
I am medium bowl place the oats, chia and connamon. Add the almond milk and stir well. Let sit for 10 minutes and stir well again. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning stir again and then top with berries, stevia and/or agave for some sweetness.

Ahhh Fall we meet again 🙂 When I think of fall, I think of fresh and crisp apples. There are so many varieties and so many flavors! Love them! Such a great snack, but also so fun to cook with of course.
This was something I was able to just throw together to have healthy and quick snack bites in the house. They turned out deelish! They are super light and slightly chewy inside. So perfect for a great, sweet, apply bite.
Apple Cookies
3 apples, cored
1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup raw honey or agave
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 cup dried coconut
Blend/Process everything till combined. Either form into balls with your hands or use an ice cream scoop to drop cookies directly onto teflex sheet. I love using an ice cream scoop for raw and non-raw cookies alike. They make everything uniform and are so super easy to use. Dehydrate cookies for about 10-12 hours until solid on the outside but still chewy inside. ENJOY 🙂
