Raw Dinner Party & Sweet Potato/Apple Juice Recipe

by | 8 comments

“Good job, Raw-Vegan Chef,” my husband said to me as he left for work this morning. He was referring to the all-raw dinner party I hosted last night in honor of his parents and two dear friends of ours.

What was on the menu?

Zucchini pasta with tomato sauce, kale/avocado/tomato salad, green salad including romaine lettuce, shredded carrots and grapes (my son’s favorite), pear cobbler, and papaya/banana pudding topped with walnuts.

We had kicked off the cold evening around the cozy fireplace, chatting and reading a few poems from the 2008 Edition of Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans; one of my son’s poems (from 6th grade) is published in that wonderful book of children’s poetry.

We ended our evening with a round of Green Smoothies!

Before our dinner guests relocated to the dining room table for the main meal and dessert, I said “here’s to your health” as I passed out samples of sweet potato/ apple juice with a little cinnamon sprinkled in. I had never thought to juice a sweet potato until I saw Shannon Leone with one in her hand on her video that was recently on Toronto’s W Network website.

Since then, I’ve begun making it for myself and for a customer who supports my new “Bottling Health” business. That website — www.bottlinghealth.com — is coming soon.

Sweet Potato/Apple Juice

Juice a large sweet potato and about two apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and stir. Enjoy!

(Of course, for a larger juice, you may want to juice a couple of sweet potatoes and either two or three apples. Simply adjust to your needs.)

Well, off I go……. My husband has just called from work asking if I would e-mail some pictures of last night’s get-together to him; he wants to share the evening with some co-workers. Yay…another opportunity to spread the wealth about Raw-Vegan living! Maybe I’ll also land some new Bottling Health customers in the process! 😉

In Sweet Potato Health!
