Hey all!
So pleased with the huge reaction to Brendan’s interview. Keep the entries coming — I can’t wait to award a lucky reader with a copy of Thrive Fitness!
A few days ago I posted some of my favorite raw or semi-raw breakfast options. I mentioned that chia seed pudding is a quick and easy breakfast [...]

Basic Chia Seed Pudding
Interview with Jessica Apple, Founder of A Sweet Life
Hi all!
Hope that your transition back into the work week has been relatively painless.
It seems that everywhere we turn these days, we’re reminded of mounting health epidemics: cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, HIV/AIDS. Very few of us can say that our lives have not been touched in some way or another by one of [...]
Fudge babies.
Happy Monday, people!
It seems that this is a dessert themed week: on Saturday it was chocolate banana soft serve. Today, I’m sharing a dessert recipe that I cannot take credit for (I wish I could!), but which I’ve delighted in all weekend. The recipe is my friend Katie’s. Remember last week, when I announced Katie’s [...]
Rainy Day Chocomole
Rain, rain, go away!
I am not impressed with NYC weather lately. First, we endure over twenty days of rain and cold in June. Then, we’re deprived of all save two weeks of a proper summer. Now, temperatures have already taken a turn for the autumnal. I love fall, but not without a proper summer preceding [...]
Raw Delivery: Only in NYC? Think Again.
Lasagna and Garlic Bread (c) Pure Market Express
Yesterday, as I announced the lucky winner of Living Raw Food, I hinted at my upcoming review of a new raw foods delivery service. “A raw delivery service?” one reader commented. “Man. Only in New York.”
Au contraire. You guys will be surprised to hear that raw foods delivery [...]
Lemon Chiffon Pudding
The following recipe was born out of indecision–a rarity in my kitchen, since I’m a doggedly decisive person. It was a warm summer evening, and I was in the mood for something sweet. The thought of my lime-in-the-coconut smoothie crossed my mind, but quickly retreated: too sweet. The thought of chocolate crossed my mind (let’s [...]
Red, White, Blue, and Green: Berries and (Raw) Whipped Cream
Happy 4th of July!
I’m taking a break from my exciting day of work, which will hopefully be punctuated by some fireworks later. As the scent of charred meat wafts up to my apartment from the Mexican restaurant below, I’ve been enjoying my favorite summer foods: fresh berries, jersey tomatoes, avocados, and lots of coconuts. With [...]
This Post Will Change Your Life.
One of the challenges I enjoy most–both as a coach and with friends–is persuading newcomers to raw foods that there is a divine-tasting natural equivalent for for every man made concoction on earth. For every bottle of Gatorade there is a cup of young coconut water; for every dab of cream cheese there is a [...]
OMG! I made a dessert!
Hello friends.
Hope your transition back into the work week hasn’t been too painful! Today was crazy at the office, but I managed to stay sane with a morning yoga class (thank you, Laughing Lotus) and will soak up some schadenfraude as I watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey later (no, it’s not as good [...]
Raw Dinner for Two!
Morning, all! I hope you had a good evening. After a long day at work, I had the good fortune to share dinner with my friend Cassie last night.
I’ve met lots of fantastic people in my raw journey, and Cassie is one of the most special. As a colonic hydrotherapist here in New York, she’s [...]
