Baja Salad also known as Southwest Salad YUMMMMMMMY.

Now this may not all be raw but all I can say is WOW!!!

I tried this salad mix from Costco the other day and it was great had some roasted pumpkin seeds for garnish, some dried corn kernels, and the dressing even though of course it was processed was some spicy avocado concoction that tasted great.

t was a combination of green cabbage, carrots,  kale, and radicchio.  Just very tasty.  So if your out and about and looking for something different and well tasty give it a shot for Costco it is actually on the small side so if its for your family grab 2-3 bags.  1 bag with some additions is a nice meal for 1-2 people.

For the Real Raw Experience omit the toppings and the dressing and use your own stuff for instance some peppers, tomatoes, and some spinach could easily be added to not only extend the mix but make it better.  For the dressing make your own with some avocado, chili flakes, olive oil or avocado oil or even better some organic coconut oil;  blend it up and drizzle over the salad.  You could take some corn off a cob and toss it in for that fiesta feel. 

Now of course for the people who know there way around the kitchen this would be easy enough to mix up.  But for those single people who hate to cook or just run out of time in their busy schedules and want a healthier alternative to the evening meal give this a try you will love it. and buy it again and again.  \

P.S. Would also work great for a lunch grab the bag and go.

Awesome Pumpkin & Fruit Juice MMMM!

Well we all know that fall is here to stay and the wonderful squash season is upon us many people look at Pumpkin and simply see something to carve for Halloween.  However this delicious squash has some amazing properties like other bright orange veggies it is full of carotene and of course a great source of fiber, vitamin C, A and E, and even iron.  This is a super food not only can this delectable vegetable be juiced, roasted, steamed, made into pies of course we all know that one but truly it is one amazing fruit so indulge today try having this in a smoothie, as a juice mixed with other fruits and even some spices for that Halloween treat.

Take one pumpkin cut in half after it is washed off of course scoop out seeds separate from the pulp these can be set aside to be dried in food dehydrator for a light snack.


3-4 cups of pumpkin one half of large pumpkin will make a lot of juice enough for 2 people easily.
2 apples
2 carrots
dash of cinnamon and nutmeg "optional"

Cutting peeled pumpkin in sizes small enough to fit in juicer chute depending on strength or style of juicer this may not work.

 I have a strong centrifugal style juicer my Breville Juice Fountain Elite.  I have heard many people say the auger style doesn't work well with getting juice from pumpkin can always use high speed blender and make smoothies or pudding.

After juicing or blending has been completed transfer to glasses and garnish with spices if so desired and enjoy.
