Juice Pulp Granola60I love making fresh juice, but the question that always comes up is what the heck do I do with the juice pulp? I have cooked the (vegetable) pulp into soups, added it into cookies and crackers, and (when lazy) simply composted the pulp,  but I wanted to try and create something new! As I had posted a few weeks ago, my cousin and I went on a juicing spree for her and her family during the week, and I ended up saving all of the pulp from the three juices we made. My Favorite Sweet Berry Juice had pulp that contained 100% fruit, so I decided to play around with that and create something sweet, hence this recipe.Juice Pulp Granola84

Raw Cilantro Chili Corn Chips (low-fat)5You ready for this? I don't think you are....High carb, low fat, raw vegan corn chips, oh yeah! These chips are gluten-free, nut-free, seed-free and fat-free! That was a mouth full, but you get the point. These chips are everything-free and you have no excuse NOT to make it cause I gave you the option of baking these babies instead of using a dehydrator. Raw Cilantro Chili Corn Chips (low-fat)8

Three quick recipes from my Raw Vegan Cinco de Mayo festivities this year that I thought I would share with you all since they were all the bommmb. I was able to eat fully raw and be FULLY satisfied today, and I know you can too if you try these recipes! For starters, a smoothie!Raw Cinco De Mayo Recipes556I woke up in excitement for Cinco de Mayo, with ingredients that I was going to use for my smoothie already in mind. Last year, I created Raw Mango Margaritas, and I wanted to make a spin off of that. This year, I combined pineapple, mango, banana, coconut water and aloe vera (optional), and served it into a coconut sugar rimmed mason jar.

Cacao Banana Ice Cream Breakfast Bowl (raw, low-fat)If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may notice that I have a variation of banana ice cream 4-5 times a week, minimum. This is a recipe that I make almost every single day because it is easy, delicious, and extremely versatile. I purchase 40lb boxes of bananas at the wholesale produce market once or twice a month, and since I can't get through all of the fresh bananas before they spoil, I freeze them when they are ripe and spotty. From this, banana ice cream ensues :)
