In the most recent episode of The Joe Show you see how Joe makes exceptional juices by adding spices, exotic produce and more. Well turmeric is another wonderful spice to add to your juices! It offers a long list of health benefits such as helping infections of the digestive tract, improves liver detoxification, prevention of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease and may help reduce cholesterol levels.
Yams are a great switch for sweet potatoes when making delicious and healthy baked fries. These fries are different because they are round and thin instead of long and thin. This recipe is quick and easy, and using the broiler helps the yam rounds to cook fast. You can add different seasonings for different flavors; such as chili powder for a spicier taste, or basil for a more Mediterranean flavor.

This smoothie is delicious, nutritious and green! Although you may think this smoothie was named after the handsome superhero that saves the day (this smoothie will save your day!), I was more inspired by the texture and thickness of the smoothie which reminded me of something a fairy tale monster might drink for breakfast. To say the least, Green Monster was runner up for the name.
When I was growing up, almost every Sunday morning my mom would pop cinnamon buns in the oven. As soon as they started to warm up, the smell would drift up to my bedroom and I would jump out of bed, run down the stairs and wait for the buns to finish cooking (see I’ve always had a sweet tooth!). So naturally, since I began my love for raw desserts about three years ago, I have been on the hunt for the perfect raw cinnamon roll. And I came pretty close to finding it!
This juice is a great dessert juice or a fruity start to the day. After spotting heritage yellow carrots at the market, I knew they would be a nice addition to this juice to enhance the color and flavor. The added spices also give this juice an extra kick with a pop of flavor.

New to juicing? Or looking for an easy, light juice that has the benefits of those stronger green juices? Well, you might love this. It’s a nice alternative to the stronger flavored green juices and it’s ideal for people that may find the darker green juices too strong to drink, especially when you are just starting out. Get the light and refreshing green juice recipe.

When the weather warms up, there’s nothing more satisfying than biting into fresh heirloom tomatoes from the farmer’s market. They’re rich in vitamins C & K, potassium, folate, and when organically grown, they tend to be higher in lycopene. I love to get creative and come up with ways to eat more heirloom tomatoes, and one of my go-to’s is an Avocado Caprese Salad. Once you see how simple it is, you’ll know that it didn’t take too much creativity for this but it is one of my favorite meals to make, especially when I don’t have much time on my hands.
