Green Mint Sorbet

My sweetie wanted a treat the other night so I threw this together for him. I must say it was very, very good. I loved the little specks of green and the mint and slight hint of lemon were just amazing in this recipe.
Green Mint Sorbet
In a food processor, process the following until creamy and smooth:
1and 1/2 frozen bananas
5 small mint leaves
small handful of baby spinach
1 lemon wedge, seeds removed and half of the skin remaining
Enjoy!
+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for trampolines and bean bags. I got such joy today out of watching my kids play on the trampoline and try so hard to get their bean bags into the toss game. Precious moments that I cherish.

This looks delicious! I left my new peppermint plant on the deck. It's frozen now! It should come back in the spring, right?
I'm trying to incorporate more raw veggies into our diet, but since I went back to teaching after Christmas, I end up going the quickest route. I love a good salad with raw veggies and need to start having them again. Your blog inspires me to eat healthier!
Thanks for stopping by Healthy Home Blog by the way! :)

Charla,
Bummer about the peppermint! Try growing some inside during the winter.
It is amazing how much better you feel when you keep adding in more and more fresh vegetables. I try to serve only raw vegetables as side dishes for the rest of the family and they love all of my raw recipes--no complaints so far. They haven't even noticed that I cut out cooked veggies and swapped them for raw.
The organic bags of mixed salad greens that are already washed make a quick and easy salad. I know they are more money but it will save time and time is valuable for busy people.
Peace Raw Health,
Elizabeth

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or you set you

My First Post

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience gratitude.

Health Benefits of Sea Vegetables

Elizabeth's Sea Vegetable Salad Lunch yesterday was a fabulous salad made with loads of fresh vegetables and  sea vegetables. I used the Creamy Thai Dressing from yesterday's salad dressing post. I decided to use the red pepper flakes instead of the Thai bird chilies. I like things slightly spicy, not overly spicy. The red pepper flakes gave it just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed this salad so much, I was tempted to lick my plate when it was all gone! If you are trying sea vegetables for the first time you may want to use less than I did in my recipe. I really adore them so my recipe has quite a bit. Alter it to your tastes and I'm sure it will be fantastic. Below the recipe I have pasted an excellent article outlining the wonderful health benefits of sea vegetables. It also points out the one sea vegetable you should steer clear of. Please read it and educate yourself. You will be truly amazed at how healthful these plants are. Here is my
