I wanted to share one more set of five fabulous recipes with you, from all the 100s of "Essential" recipes y'all sent in, in response to the August RawReform Giveaway Contest to win a free copy of Ani Phyo's new book "Ani's Raw Food Essentials". Here below are five more of your wonderful suggestions for yummmmmy raw meals that you love and rely on...enjoy ;)

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen Smoothie
I would have to say my essential Raw Food recipe is my green smoothie, where all the ingredients, except the lemon are green!
2-3 handfuls of organic greens (favorites are spinach, green leaf lettuce, kale)
1 organic haas avocado
1 organic cucumber, 1⁄2 of skin peeled (otherwise tastes too bitter)
20 organic green grapes
1⁄4 lemon, with peel removed (white pith left on)
Handful or 2 of ice cubes
1⁄2 cup filtered water
Blend it until it’s super smooth. Depending on the amount of greens and water, this will easily fill a 32 oz bell jar (or your smoothie container of choice). It has a sweet & sour flavor and super filling, especially when coupled with a handful of sprouted almonds and fresh bell pepper J

Cashew Cheez
This is a recipe I found online a couple of years ago, I make it more often than anything else. It's great because it can be a spread, a dip, or a sauce. Everyone that tries it loves it, too, and it's so easy!!
1 cup raw cashews
half a large red bell pepper
one juiced lemon (large)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Put cashews in blender, then add the lemon juice. Add a bit of water (preferably spring water) so that it almost covers the cashews, but not quite. Then add the rest, and blend away!
I like to pour this into halved bell peppers and then top with fresh dill or dulse.
To make it into a salad dressing, just add more water.
SO good, seriously. Sometimes if it seems to sweet I just add more lemon juice. and blend again until it has the nice tart tangy flavour.
P.S. Your recipe for kale chips is now in my top 2 fave recipes - I LOVE them, and so easy.

"Waldorf" Salad
I'd have to say that my essential raw food recipe that I love to make is a variation on the Waldorf Salad.
Ingredients for salad:
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 handful of walnuts, soaked then chopped
chopped parsley to taste
Sauce:
juice of 1 orange
3-4 tablespoons almond butter or tahini
cinnamon to taste
To prepare, whisk together sauce ingredients and toss with salad ingredients in a large bowl. This is a quick and easy recipe that definitely satisfies a sweet tooth.
Much love to you,
