<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a little too much to drink last night? This hangover remedy green juice is just the thing you need to kick the nausea and feel 100%! Consuming alcohol literally strips your body of crucial vitamins and minerals, and unless you replenish them, you will leave your body feeling energy-less and more susceptible to colds and other illnesses.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Greens are packed with quality minerals and vitamins your body needs to replenish itself after a night of drinking. They are alkalizing, detoxifying, and ease the digestive system. Ginger reduces nausea and eases indigestion, while lemon helps soothe your stomach and powers your immunity with high concentrations of vitamin C.</div>

If you haven’t already heard, acai breakfast berry bowls are the new rage! They are easy to make, fun, and basically look, and taste like ice cream. That’s right – ice cream for breakfast – your dream come true!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: center;">
Switching out your regular breakfast morning routine with an acai breakfast berry bowl is probably one of the best decisions you could make for yourself! Acai berries are loaded with an array of <span style="color: #66cc00;"><a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/lindsey-duncan-nd-cn/so-whats-so-good-about-acai-whole-lot" style="color: #565656; text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #88cc00;">health benefits</span></a><span style="color: #333300;">,</span></span> mainly due to their amazing ratio of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and amino acids, all of which combine to make you feel and look your optimal best!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: center;">
Acai’s ORAC level (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is over 3,500, which is hundreds of times higher than most conventional fruits you find in grocery stores like oranges, apples and bananas. That’s not to say these fruit aren’t beneficial, it’s just good to vary up your routine with fruit that contain higher antioxidant levels.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">This pomegranate creamsicle smoothie contains more antioxidants than green tea and features some of the best ingredients for immunity and glowing skin! Oh – and it also tastes like a creamsicle, but 10x better – mainly because of the pomegranate and blueberry addition, which bring it up a whole other level!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: center;">
Pomegranates contain tannins, which help prevent your skin from aging (in fact, many cosmetic skin care companies utilize tannins for their anti-aging effects!). They are also great for enhancing the immune system, along with the blueberries and oranges, which are renowned for their antioxidant and immune-boosting effects.</div>

Contrary to popular belief, iron is in a variety of plant foods, and any individual who properly eats a plant-based diet gets just as much iron as those who also consume animal products. Iron is a trace element required by the body for blood formation, which goes on to help activate enzymatic reactions, regulate cell growth, and act as a mediator for collagen synthesis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ingredients in this smoothie work together to help ensure that ingredients containing higher iron concentrations are readily absorbed by the body. Pairing high-iron foods with high-vitamin C foods ensures this process will occur. </div>

If you are a porridge lover, or if you simply want to switch up your breakfast options, then you MUST try this recipe! I was a huge fan of typical oat porridge before I went raw, and when I discovered this amazing combination of fruit I realized that it tasted just as good, if not better, than porridge itself. In fact, even KIDS will love this recipe more than oat-based porridges (mainly because it is sweeter and contains a larger flavour dynamic). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mulberries are one of my favourite fruits out there, aside from figs and mango. Dried mulberries taste like a combination of nuts, vanilla, marshmallow and figs. They are truly one of the most interesting and addictive dried fruits out there! They are also loaded with tonnes of iron, potassium, magnesium and B-vitamins along with plenty of antioxidants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Suffice to say, this raw porridge recipe is incredibly simple to make, and gives you no excuse to not eat breakfast! It will super-charge your morning better than any porridge you have ever consumed, and will leave you with extended energy, devoid of any crashes later in the day. Enjoy!</div>

<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
- 2 ripe bananas<br />
- 1/2 cup dried mulberries (soaked overnight - or you may use dried for a more crunchy effect)<br />
- 1 tsp. cinnamon<br />
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla bean powder<br />
- 4 medjool dates, pitted and chopped finely<br />

- Optional: 1 tbsp. coconut flakes<br />
<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
1. Drain soak water from mulberries, if you chose to soak them.<br />
2. You may use a blender or food processor to blend, just until chunky: bananas, mulberries, cinnamon and vanilla. Put in a bowl.<br />
3. To the banana/mulberry mixture add the finely chopped dates and apple, and coconut flakes if you chose to use them. Mix well!<br />
4. Put into a serving bowl, and add some chopped apple on top, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you love food presentation and get excited by what your food looks like (aka. me - haha).<br />
5. Enjoy!<br />

When you think about kale, you either scrunch up your face and say "yuck" or you get really excited - well, I have something to tell you! This salad will <b>change your perceptions on kale forever!</b> This kale salad is quite literally, "out of this world," and tastes rather incredible (if I do say so myself).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we all know, kale is one of the most nutrient dense lettuces on the planet! It contains a hefty amount of iron, calcium, manganese, and Vitamin's A, C & K. Not to mention it is loaded with fibre, so it helps prevent constipation and pushes out toxic waste matter to allow better overall digestion (as well as improved nutrient absorption). </div>

If you want beautiful, glowing skin, and a slim body devoid of aches and pains, then you MUST include this highly nutritious vegetable in your diet. I must admit..I have been slacking on the cabbage eating the last two years, but after reading about the incredible health benefits of this vegetable, I have now avidly included it in so many recipes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cabbages are an incredible healer for the digestive tract and do wonders for the kidneys. Cabbage also contains high contents of sulfur and vitamin C, which help remove toxins (uric acid and free radicals) and ease toxic load removal by the kidneys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cabbage is great for drying up oily, acne-prone skin, too. Internally, sulfur is essential for keratin, a protein substance necessary for healthy hair, skin and nails. It is also great as a weight loss aid by curbing cravings and satisfying those parts of your brain that scream for otherwise unhealthy foods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least, cabbage is wonderful for reducing inflammation in the body. For centuries, cabbage has been used to treat swelling and bruising of the skin, as well as treat joint pain due to arthritis and sports injuries. </div>

<b>Maca root</b> has been used in Peru traditionally as a stress-fighting adaptogen, and to increase libido, regulate hormones, increase stamina and fight fatigue! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Carob</b> is a great substitute for cacao powder (which contains un-necessary stimulants like theobromine and caffeine) and contains over 8% protein. It is high in minerals, especially calcium, and contains vitamins A, B, B2, B3 and D! Oh, it is also incredibly sweet, due to the natural fruit sugars of the carob pods!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Spirulina </b>is incredibly vitamin and mineral dense. It is a type of blue-green algae that is considered a complete protein because it contains a wide variety of amino acids - the building blocks of protein. It is also a great source of vitamin B12!</div>

<br /><div>
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<div>
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates</div>
<div>
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean powder</div>
<div>
- 1 tbsp. spirulina powder</div>
<div>
- 1 tbsp. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FFLHU2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000FFLHU2&linkCode=as2&tag=livlovfru-20&linkId=RIEWNQ5IIFXBUW2Z" target="_blank">maca powder</a></div>

<div>
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melt lightly over stove until liquid)</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mash everything together, or use a food processor until all ingredients are well-incorporated.

If you like, you can also vary the flavours by adding in some cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, or whatever you please!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let these balls set in the fridge for about an hour. You can also save them for a later date by sticking them in the freezer!</div>

This effective allergy remedy syrup is something you should ALWAYS have on hand! It helps relieve allergies (hay fever, pollen, animal dander, weed allergies, dust mites, you name it!), soothes sore throats (the common cold), and dry coughs (one of the most annoying things, especially if you are trying to sleep!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ingredients in this syrup are effective anti-inflammatories, which is a major process (inflammation) in the allergic response. Honey, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and turmeric are all anti-inflammatories, anti-fungals, anti-bacterials, and pretty much anti-anything. They are natures most effective (and REAL) antibiotics!</div>

Our gut is a major hub for any type of inflammation. Considering a majority of the foods people consume are inflammatory (junk foods, dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, etc.), our gut gets the brunt of it all. Inflammation in the intestinal tract can become quite painful and if chronic, can result in inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS) or other disorders of the digestive tract. Less chronic symptoms may result in bloating or gas production. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Changing our diet, or adding in better things to our diet is the main way we can help shape and improve the way our digestive tract functions. Including plenty of leafy greens, fruit and vegetables, as well as including juices (such as this recipe) will have a huge impact on your guts overall health. </div>

Whether you are looking to increase your iron stores, get rid of anemia, improve the look of your skin, or simply feel your optimal best, this juice is just the thing for you! Red beets are one of the best blood cleansers and blood purifiers. Because of the high iron content in beets (which is readily absorbed and assimilated by the body), they help support the health of our red blood cells. Not only are beets great for your circulatory system, they help cleanse the liver and spleen too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beets are also high in boron, an essential micro-mineral that most people are deficient. Boron is a catalyst that helps trigger important functions in the body like balancing the uptake of other essential minerals in the body and helping the body respond to various hormone activities. Not only that, but beets improve blood circulation, act as a mild aphrodisiac, prevent diabetes, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular disease and help improve stamina. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This simple beetroot recipe is easy to prepare, and so incredibly tasty!</div>

These all-natural flu shots are your answer to improved immunity and better health! Typical vaccines contain hazardous ingredients like aluminum, MSG, formaldehyde, antibiotics, thimerosal and egg protein (gross!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, if you just eat healthy, build up your immune system with these green shots, and wash your hands, you'll be well on your way to being flu-free! A lot of individuals who get a flu shot end up getting the flu anyway, so really, what's the point? I have never had a flu shot my entire life, and I remain strong and healthy to this day (I also exercise, drink plenty of water, get lots of sleep and ensure my diet is as raw vegan and clean as it gets! I care for my body and well-being, so I rarely get sick). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These "shots" may not be injected with a needle, but they are by far, much better than any typical needle shot out there. Give them a try! Each recipe makes MANY shots - be sure to drink them all! Switch between each recipe every day!</div>

This pumpkin pie, is FOR SURE, the BEST pumpkin pie I have ever had the chance of experiencing. The crust is incredibly tasty, and the filling is to die for! So much better than a plain dough crust and refined-sugar infused filling (with who knows what other chemicals are hidden in there!). It is 100% raw, gluten-free, nut & seed free, low-fat and AMAZING!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pumpkin is one of my favourite fall treats because it is loaded with so many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients (especially when eaten raw, such as in this recipe!). Pumpkins are packed with muscle-building protein, contain lutein for eye health, help support a healthy prostate, bladder and kidneys, help lower cholesterol, rich in B-complex group of vitamins, and they contain vitamin C, E, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, & alpha and beta carotenoids, which help prevent cellular damage! </div>

<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<i>Crust:</i><br />
- 1 mature coconut<br />
- 1-1.5 cups raisins<br />
- pinch of cinnamon<br />
<br />
1. Take the coconut and cut open - take out meat and shred it into flakes (I used my juicer, and just processed the coconut - the pulp that comes out resembles fresh coconut flakes!)<br />
2. Put coconut flakes & 1 cup of raisins into food processor. Blend for awhile, until it starts to clump and turn into "dough" - you can add more raisins if you like, just make sure the mixture is not too sticky, so somewhat dry.<br />
3. Form this into a pie dish to resemble the crust.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Filling:</i><br />
<i>- </i>1 sugar pumpkin<br />
- 7-10 dates, pitted<br />
- 1/2 tsp. cloves<br />
- 1 tsp. cinnamon<br />
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger root (or 1-2 tsp. dried ginger powder)<br />
<br />
1. Peel sugar pumpkin, and take out seeds.<br />
2. Cut into little pieces and put into a high-speed blender like the Vitamix.<br />
3. Put in dates, and spices and ginger.<br />
4. Put in a little bit of water to get the mixture started.<br />
5. Blend until smooth (the Vitamix is a great blender for blending pumpkin!)<br />
<br />
Put filling into pie crust, and voila! You can put it in the freezer to set it a bit if you please, but I just put mine in the fridge and kept it overnight. Enjoy! Leave a comment below and tell me how it went!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://livelovefruit.com/2013/07/8-amazing-health-benefits-of-watermelon/" target="_blank">Watermelon</a> is one of my favourite fruits for alkalizing the body and providing it with major overall healing benefits. It is one of the most powerful, body-healing fruits out there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The lycopene in watermelon is particularly helpful in healing our cardiovascular system and reduces bone degradation by improving osteoclast and osteoblast activity (two major bone cells involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Citrulline in watermelon has also been shown to help reduce the accumulation of fat in our fat cells! Most importantly, however, watermelon is a <b>great</b> diuretic, but at the same time does not strain the kidneys (coffee and alcohol are diuretics, but they strain the kidneys). It is rich in potassium for proper muscle and nerve function and helps improve eyesight! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The tripterpenoid cucurbitacin E is also present in watermelon, which provides anti-inflammatory support by blocking activity of cyclo-oxygenase enzymes which normally lead to increased inflammatory support.</span></span></div>

Citrus fruits are incredible for helping cleanse the body and get rid of mucoid plaque in the digestive tract, lungs and circulatory system. They free-up built-up chemicals and other toxins and thus allow for proper utilization of energy via better nutrient absorption in the intestine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we are backed up with a host of processed foods, wheat, dairy and allergens like soy, we feel tired because our body is constantly at battle with either trying to digest or fend off these foreign food invaders (foods not necessary for the human body). Thankfully, oranges and lemons help the body break through these foods, helping to expel them and reveal a host of energy you never thought possible! </div>

Excess mucoid build-up in the body is a sign that the body is in a state of agitation. This mucus can manifest from toxins, pollutants, food additives, food allergens (soy, wheat, eggs, dairy), and it mainly targets the respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and lymphatic system. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two main culprits of mucus formation are wheat and dairy. Casein in dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese, etc.) and gluten in wheat require strong stomach acids for digestion. Upon digestion completion, there are still many left-over food particles that are too big to be used by the body. These partly-digested food particles become coated with thick mucus to prevent further putrefaction in the intestines. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A majority of individuals on this planet suffer from a build-up of mucus in the body (mainly due to the standard diets so many individuals consume). This results in a body that is in a constant state of fighting off some sort of foreign "viral invasion" (the body naturally protects itself by fighting these food particles, because to the body, these products are foreign and not meant to be consumed). </div>

If you want to improve digestion and ease pain cause by inflammation (cramps, arthritis, gout, etc.), then this is just the juice for you! Pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called bromelain, which keeps things running smoothly by aiding in the breakdown of fats and protein, helping to reduce inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effects of pineapple also help relax muscles (especially after an intense workout) and ease painful cramps (helpful for ladies!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The greens involved in this juice (cucumber, celery, zucchini, spinach & kale) also provide an alkalizing effect on the body, by providing it with a host of vitamins and minerals and crucial phytonutrients. </div>

Citrus waters are one of the best ways to not only encourage you to drink more water, but to<a href="http://livelovefruit.com/2014/01/health-benefits-of-drinking-lemon-water/" target="_blank"> improve your health</a> at the same time! I find that when I add a splash of lemon in my water, I drink it much more readily than plain water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drinking citrus-based waters help to alkalize the body, flush out toxins, improve skin quality and strengthen the immune system. By incorporating citrus water into your daily routine, you'll stay slim, have more energy and radiate from the inside out!</div>

Most people don't view skin as an organ, but it is in fact the largest organ of body! If you suffer from poor skin, don't turn to over-the-counter products. Skin quality starts from <b>within</b>. If the state of your internal organs are compromised, your skin will be the first to suffer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The major detox organs of the body, namely, the liver, kidneys and intestinal tract, filter out toxins. If these organs are malfunctioning, then toxins need a way to exit the body, and thus, they come out of the skin in the form of blemishes, acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis - you name it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This smoothie will help support proper liver and kidney function, and will aid in proper elimination of built-up toxic matter in the intestinal tract. Remember, drinking plenty of water throughout the day, and engaging in regular exercise and stress-reduction techniques is also crucial to proper skin health. Consuming a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is also incredibly necessary for a beautiful complexion. </div>
