I’m still on vacation over at mom’s house (check out my Green Mommy Blog for updates on what we’ve been up to), but I wanted to share my latest love that I had today…
I love bananas and romaine, but usually I have it in either a fresh organic smoothie or as a sandwich (large leaf of romaine with a peeled banana inside). But, today, I thought to myself… I want a big fresh romaine salad and what better topping to put on it than BANANAS!!! I know it might seem weird to have sliced bananas on a salad, but heck, we often add mango, apples, berries, and other fruits to salad. I thought… why not bananas? Then, I added my Ginger Shallot Dressing to it. OMG – SO YUM! I will be having this combination a lot more in the future. A LOT MORE! Plus, it’s so easy – romaine, bananas, and simple dressing. Don’t you just love easy and fresh and delicious raw recipes that fill you up with energy?!
Speaking of Ginger Shallot Dressing… it’s going to be available in my new book, Kristen Suzanne’s EASY Raw Vegan Transition Recipes, which is going to be available SOON! The update: the book is out of my hands now. It’s going through the distribution process and I’m told it’ll show up on Amazon anytime in the next 1-3 weeks.
UPDATE: I just ate my second salad for a lunch (my first serving I had earlier was for breakfast – lol). It is SOOOO good! And, I made a quick batch of Raw Vegan Cardamom Ice Cream for us to enjoy tonight. Mom is making vegan pizza (not raw) for dinner with organic crust, organic heirloom tomatoes, organic basil from her back yard, and Daiya cheese. I figured we should follow that with raw ice cream. :)

Hi everyone! Here is the food I had on Sunday.
3 cups Bleh Blackberry Protein Shake
This was not particularly yummy – it was bleh. The result? I plugged-n-chugged! Lol. It had blackberries, sunflower lecithin, Sun Warrior Natural Protein Powder, avocado, agave nectar, vanilla, lucuma, and green powder.
1 Goji Wonder Treat
I had to have something to cover up for the bleh shake so I had one of my Goji Wonder Treats. The recipe is from my soon to be released Raw Vegan Transition book. It worked… the bleh shake was quickly forgotten. ;)
Kelp noodles with _____ Sauce
I’m not a real fan of kelp noodles, but I’ve figured the trick to liking them… giving them a good rinse, then soaking them in water with a little lemon or lime juice, then rinsing again. And, finally, topping them with a rich, creamy sauce.
Hence, ____ Sauce. I made a new recipe and haven’t committed to a name yet, so I’m calling it _____ Sauce for now. And, this sauce? THE BOMB!! It was love at first taste. I was hoping to add it to my Raw Vegan Transitions book, only 6 simple ingredients, but I think I’m too late in the editing and book designing process. Therefore, I guess I’ll just have to publish it HERE on my blog. :) It’s sooooooooooooooo good! It reminds me of a cheese fondue sauce my mom used to make when I was little. Anyway… I served it over the kelp noodles with a diced organic apple.
On facebook, I was told about a different kind of noodle that is supposed to blow kelp noodles out of the water – no pun intended – lol – is that even a pun? They’re Raw Sea Spaghetti from Sirova.com. Have you had them? Do you like? I’m eager to try them.
Toast with _____ Sauce
What can I say? I loved the sauce so much that I had it slathered all over some rye toast.
Romaine Lettuce with chickpeas and Olive Tahini Dressing
Delicious, refreshing, and both my husband and I were licking our plates because the dressing is fantastic. Who wants that recipe?
2 teaspoons green powder with water
I finally found a green powder that I feel comfortable taking while breastfeeding. I’ll blog about it this week.
Kelp noodles with _____ Sauce
Another serving. Yum!
Romaine Lettuce with chickpeas and Olive Tahini Dressing
Another serving. Mmmmmm!
3 cups Banana Finesse
rice milk, bananas, ice, carob and almond extract blended up
