Serves 2
by Gena Hamshaw (Choosing Raw)

-1 cup beet juice
-1 1/4 cut carrot juice
-1/4 cup grapefruit juice
-¼ tsp salt
-1 tsp apple cider vinegar (more to taste)
-A sprinkle of pepper
-1 small beet, chopped (or half of a large one)
-1/3 medium avocado (so ¼ of an extra large one and ½ of a small one)

-½ grated carrot
-¼ grated beet
-¼ chopped avocado
-Sprig of dill

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients together in a Vitamix or powerful blender, stopping to adjust saltiness and sweetness. Pour into two bowls and garnish with the chopped vegetables. (I always find that the addition of chopped veggies can make or break raw soups, which are typically smooth and in need of some texture.)

-7 cups Milk (brazil nut, hemp seed, or cashew)
-1 cup Chia Seed
-2 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
-1 Vanilla Bean
-2 tablespoon Cinnamon
-1/3 cup Agave Nectar
-pinch of Sea Salt

Blend all ingredients together minus the chia seed, pulse in a high speed blender. Place chia seeds in a large bowl, pour mixture over the chia seeds and begin to whisk. Keep whisking periodically to be sure the tapioca does not clump. It takes about 1 hour and a half for the tapioca to set. You can adjust the sweetness. Great for a quick and healthy Omega-rich dessert or a kids snack.

-2 1/2 cups Water (more if desired)
-1 1/2 cups Hemp Seeds

By Latham Thomas

-2 1/2 bunches Dino Kale (lacinato) – cut thin strips across ribs
-1 teaspoon Sea Salt
-4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-4 tablespoons 2 oz Nama Shoyu
-1 tablespoon Raw Agave Nectar
-1 teaspoon Spicy Curry
-1/2 cups Lemon Juice
-1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
-1 cup Raw Tahini
-1 ounce grated Ginger
-1 1/2 cups pitted Green Olives
-1 1/2 cups diced Red Bell Pepper
-1 cup Pine Nuts
-1 cup Hemp Seeds

Slice the kale by the bunch across the ribs to get thin slices. Blend all ingredients minus olives, bell pepper, hemp seeds, to get a thick dressing. Add the olives, bell pepper, and hemp seeds to the bowl with kale. Then pour over the tahini dressing and mix thouroughly. Can be served right away or made a day ahead. Will not keep very long in the fridge if dressed, maybe two days tops before it gets soggy.
