Iskiate
What the heck is “iskiate?” This is a super-simple chia seed drink that I read about and had to test. I am reading this book called Born to Run, in which the author seeks out a Mexican tribe called the Tarahumara who are amazing world-renown runners (we’re talking major endurance runs and inhuman speed here), […]

Coconut Almond Chai Smoothie
This is the breakfast to eat when you really want dessert for breakfast. And when you don’t have the time to make something like oatmeal cookie pancakes. It tastes like a milkshake, but is way more nutritious than any milkshake I’ve ever had! I absolutely love the flavor of chai – all those delicious […]

Tipsy Blackberry Sage Lemonade
It’s about to be summer. And it already feels like it. Sacramento summer. Meaning I need no end of cooling refreshing beverages to detract from the summer heat, and I’m getting a head start on preparing those! Fortunately, I love making such delicious drinks! I especially love this one because, aside from the […]

Ginger-Lime Papineapple Agua Fresca
Reunited with my juicer at last! Oh juicer, how I have missed you. Such a welcoming beacon in a groggy dark morning. We must celebrate with something extra-special! So special I made up a word for it. Papineapple? Yeah. Ginger-Lime Papaya Pineapple Agua Fresca was an excessively long title (so I made it […]

Guava Pina Colada Smoothie
Quickie post today! I’m trying to keep the posts coming even in the midst of my currently chaotic life. I was not a fan of the 10-day lack of posts! So I’ve scrounged up a quick post for you. Remember my lava flow sorbet? Coconut milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla bean […]

Mango & Greens Smoothie
I see smooth bright beautiful green smoothies on other food blogs and am overwhelmed by jealousy over one thing: Vitamix! I don’t even have a proper blender. I’ve got my trusty immersion blender who does so much work for such a tiny guy! And there’s my boyfriend’s Magic Bullet. It hates me. Clearly it favors […]

Fuchsia Beet Juice
I usually call all of my veggie juices “green juice,” no matter what their color is. But just look at this! It had to be re-named. And there’s nothing to it!

El Pepino
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For those of you, like me, who don’t want green beer or Irish cream to celebrate the day, here’s a delicious green cocktail for you to toast with! No, this has nothing to do with the Pepino melon I featured on my first New Flora post. In that post, […]

Cantaloupe Coconut Mojito
Here’s the recipe I mentioned in my Hawaii post — I tried to make this right before I left, but it was just a little bland and unexciting. The simple addition of mint simple syrup turned this into a delicious treat! I wanted to make this more exciting without adding sugar, but this mint […]

Favorite Green Juice
Meet my juicer: He’s awesome. And yes, he’s a “he.” I love to make a fruit and veggie juice in the mornings. Now I know that some people criticize juicing or shy away from it since it removes all (or at least almost all) of the fiber from the produce. But I […]
