These breakfast “nachos” are one of my favorite, fresh and easy breakfast options. They are so easy, and you can really change up the ingredients to accommodate what you already have on hand in your home! If you’re not in the mood for a juice or a smoothie, or just want something additional to eat or serve to your family and friends, give these a try. They definitely won’t disappoint!

I’m still on a blue and purple fruit simple food theme this week! We all need more purple in our diets and lives! This acai mint chia pudding is so super easy to make, and the flavor combination is incredible. You can skip the vanilla if you don’t have vanilla powder or fresh vanilla beans. I definitely do not recommend using vanilla extract here.

This is another super easy superfood pudding you can make with just a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your home. Keeping nuts and seeds in your freezer at all times is a great way to guarantee that you can whip up a fast nut milk, a pudding, a nut and seed bar or a snack, in a pinch. Plus, the freezer keeps all of your nuts and seeds from becoming rancid which can happen quickly especially in warm weather.

Sunday mornings are often brunch mornings for our family. We each like to pick out a few recipes in the breakfast and lunch category, and then add some raw juice or smoothie shots, and specialty organic teas. Today was extra special because it is the first day of March, which for me is birthday month! We celebrate birthdays for a whole month in the Rawganic household and this one happens to be mine!!!

This is for my acai-bowl loving people. I’m pretty obsessed with the beauty of acai bowls in all of their nutrient dense tastiness! There are endless varieties of these bowls of goodness, and you can change them up all the time. To me it’s a little bit like unwrapping a new present with every bite.

INGREDIENTS: 1 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen), 2 frozen bananas, 1 tsp vanilla bean powder (or vanilla extract), 1/4 cup fresh coconut, 1 tsp. maca powder, 1 cup coconut water. Blend and enjoy!

“PEACHES”: 1 Cup frozen organic peaches, 1/2 carrot, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 TBSP. coconut nectar (or sweetener of choice), Ice. Blend and pour into glass. CREME: 1 Frozen ripe banana, 2 vanilla beans scraped out (or 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla), 1 TBSP. Lucuma, 1 tsp. non-gmo soy lecithin, 1 TBSP Coconut butter, 1/2 cup water, Ice. Blend and scoop out of blender onto PEACHES!

So many people feel like they wouldn’t be able to have delicious tasting treats on a plant based lifestyle. I created Liana’s Cake Shakes to show everyone how delicious raw vegan food truly is, and since launching it 2 years ago, it’s still one of our top-sellers! Here is one of my favorites from the book,

INGREDIENTS: 1 cup blueberries, 1 very ripe large frozen banana, 1 cup frozen mango chunks, 1 handful kale, 1 tablespoon spirulina, 2 teaspoon tocotrienols, 1/2 cup brazil nut milk.

INGREDIENTS: 2 cups frozen blueberries, 1 cup frozen grapes, 1 fresh guava. Blend and enjoy!

I just made this amazing smoothie for my daughter’s lunch before she heads out to the ocean for paddling practice — a sport that requires a lot of energy and muscle strength! She loves this smoothie, and it comes LOADED with EFA’s from the ground flax, protein and selenium in the Brazil nut milk, lecithin which supports cardiovascular health, nerve function, brain function, and liver function, and of course, tons of energy from the bananas, dates and blueberries.

I had one of the most delicious, creamy, dreamy, nourishing, energizing, nutrient-packed breakfasts this morning: acai-coconut dream bowl! Of course, acai bowls come in many shapes and sizes and I’ve had some really delicious ones at various farmers markets and cafes around the island.

Kiwi fruit is a delicious little green fruit that is native to China and known as the Chinese gooseberry, but then imported and grown in New Zealand where it was re-named kiwi after the bird native to New Zealand. Kiwi fruit is incredibly flavorful and healthy. If you can source it where you live I highly recommend trying this smoothie because it is delicious.

In the summer one of our favorite things to do in the Rawganic family is to buy tons of extra melon of all kinds, watermelon, cantaloupe, canary melon, honeydew etc… and freeze it to make smoothies and slushies. Melons are the perfect breakfast food because they have an incredibly fast transit time through the digestive tract, especially on an empty stomach after a night of “fasting”.

This is one of the easiest, healthiest, energy-supporting drink you can make. It’s a perfect afternoon “pick me up”, and also excellent for pre-workout fuel, as well as post workout recovery. Three simple ingredients are all you will need: 1. 2 cups of organic Coconut Water. 2. 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds. 3. 1 Tablespoon of a pure Green Powder (my favorite is Vitamineral Green).

When the bowel is clogged, your body is toxic. It is important that your body eliminate waste at least once a day, and ideally twice a day. If you are experiencing issues of constipation, you may be dehydrated, consuming too many refined foods, or not consuming enough fruits every day. Of course, there is a large list of medications that also contribute to constipation which can become dangerous.

Today I have five amazing juices for you that will help you: increase your libido, get an afternoon energy burst, have a boost of super nutrients, help reduce toxins that cause cellulite and cleanse your cells. Juicing is such an amazing and easy way to feel great! Swap out your breakfast with juices for one week and see how amazing you feel!

Many people are familiar with the Master Cleanse, which is a 10 day program wherein you drink nothing but a maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice mixture. I do not recommend the Master Cleanse as a regimen on its own, because you are not infusing your body with enough calories on a daily basis. This results in a slowing down of the metabolism which can be hard to recover from, particularly for people desiring to lose weight.

One of the questions I get several times a week from fans is should I juice or do smoothies? The answer depends on what you are looking to accomplish. In a nutshell, NOTHING beats a glass of pure organic vegetable juice. Nothing. It is the most efficient and effective way to bathe your cells in nutrition without the nutrition having to compete with the fiber during digestion.

We drink a lot of citrus juices in the Rawganic house, mostly with fresh organic fruit picked from our own trees. There are so many benefits to orange juice, and it combines incredibly well with pineapple, lime, ginger and also carrots. Be aware that pasteurized orange juice from the store is never a good substitute, even if the juice is labeled “100% orange juice” or “100% pineapple juice” or “100% apple juice” followed by the words “not from concentrate”.
