I just got home from a day in San Francisco. I went to a 6 hour presentation by Dan McDonald titled "Juicing for Beauty, Energy, and Mental Clarity." You would think I'd be exhausted from a day of sitting and learning, but I got home totally pumped! He is a raw food educator that uses YouTube as a medium to get out the message that fruits and vegetables can save your life.
So the basis of the day was how to turn all of this:
Into all of this for about 18 people!
Part I of the day began with a watermelon-lemon juice, followed by a green juice of celery, cucumber, herbs and lemon. Part II covered things you could make with a Vitamix. We were all amazed at how delicious a simple hami melon could be when liquefied in a Vitamix!
He made enough for everyone to have about 12 oz of each drink.
Then he switched to things that could be used as dressings. The Coconut Almond "Yogurt" was the base for a dressing with avocado, basil, and garlic. That one was my favorite dressing. Another dressing he made was an orange/tomato/dill and the grand finale was the Corn Fiesta Soup/Dressing. The corn soup was so good that it motivated me to go to not one but two grocery stores to find fresh basil so that I could make it for lunch tomorrow! I've already made it and let my husband try a tiny spoonful, at which point he told me I'd better box it up for lunch or there might not be any for tomorrow!
Dan is putting out a new DVD next week that I'm looking forward to getting, "Life Saving Salad's and Dressings." All of the dressings he made were today are on the DVD, so if the rest of them are even half as good then the DVD will be totally worth it.
