Blended Melon Juice

-

Melons have been my fruit of choice lately. I eat an entire melon as my meal. As I type this I have 3 melons ripening on the counter top! There were 4 but I cut one up for  two of the boys--they are melon heads too :)
 I will usually have one for my lunch but today I wanted something icy cold and truly refreshing in the form of a drink. This was definitely a winner!! SO delicious. Melons are everywhere right now in the markets, so why not give this blended juice a try?!


Blended Melon Juice
(serves one)

1/2 of a large yellow melon (I ate the other half)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/2 C ice

Peel the melon, dice into large cubes. Add the melon, cilantro and ice to your high speed blender. Blend until icy smooth. Enjoy!

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for new discoveries.

Juiced melon with cilantro sounds like a wonderfully refreshing drink on a hot spring day. We will be growing Black Mountain watermelons this year and I will have to try them that way...fingers crossed that they turn out.:)

Is there some advantage in eating the skin sand the seeds please, I have heard that a lot of the goodness is in the skin.

Thank you for your time, Alan

Yes, Alan, there is great benefit in watermelon skin and rind but I'd only use the skin of an organic melon!!!

Seed Yogurt

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
