The wild idea for making this vibrant orange JUICED GRANOLA® was born out of our belief and experience that eating a whole food plant based diet reaps health benefits. Inspired by juicing, we blend organic carrots, turmeric, ginger, pineapple and mango, the whole plant, so you get the juice plus the fiber. It’s all added to organic gluten-free certified oats, ancient grains, seeds, slivered almonds, Montmorency tart cherries, and sweetened with coconut sugar. Veggie-powered GARDEN GRANOLA is here to help you win the day!

This beautifully vibrant pink smoothie bowl by Melissa (@the_queenship) has just four ingredients. But while it short on ingredients it is not, short on deliciousness. Did we mention it pairs perfectly with our Beetroot Ginger granola.
What to Know. For this recipe a large frozen banana is must. Make sure you peel the banana before freezing it. Slicing it is not essential but it can make blending easier. Fresh or Frozen raspberries and strawberries can be used. When preparing this we used fresh, but if you like your smoothie bowls as thick as possible we recommend using frozen raspberries and frozen strawberries.

1 large Frozen banana - do in advance or overnight
1/2 cup Fresh or Frozen raspberries
1/2 cup, Fresh or Frozen Strawberries, halved

Always load your blender container in the following order: liquids first, then soft fruits or vegetables, greens, then frozen fruit or vegetables and ice on top (if using).
Persimmon smoothie bowl! Recipe and Photography By @the_queenship
Persimmon Season is here! Much like avocados, enjoying a perfectly ripe persimmon requires vigilance and patience. But the payoff of this waiting game is a fruit that is unmatched in its subtle sophistication and perfect sweetness. Persimmons have a sweetness a bit honey- like and and a taste most akin to apricot. Plus there is a bonus, they are very high in fiber, nearly twice as much fiber as an apple.
Technically a berry, Persimmons are native to China, and grown in Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Spain and in the USA (California). There are two main varieties Fuyu and Hachiyas. Fuyus are smaller and squatter in shape than Hachiyas and tend to also ripen faster. Fuyus stay firm when ripe, making them easy to slice and common addition to fall and winter salads. In contrast, the Hachiyas variety soften as they reach peak ripeness, taste a lot more tannic and are more often used for purees and winter steamed puddings.
