It's a real surprise when you make it for the first time.

It's simple and one of the easiest recipes to make if you want to eat healthy and want your family, friends and guests to eat healthy too. The kids love it. I have served it many times and no one even guessed that it wasn't really ice cream in fact people ask for it over and over again when they come to visit or when I serve it at events.

Of course it's a little hard to take to potlucks unless you're having it at home because it needs to be kept frozen. It's best served right after you make it. I often make it after my family or guests have arrived, but you don't have to. You can make it ahead of time and just keep it in the freezer.

Pineapple is one of most nutritious Foods on the planet. It contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulphur and manganese. It has high amounts of vitamin C and has vitamin A, B1 and B2 among others. The proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzyme bromolain (sometimes spelled bromolin) is responsible for healing and curing many diseases and conditions and new discoveries are made for it all the time.

Pineapple can stop or lessen inflammation in the body. It's been used for arthritis - both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and to help repAir tissues after injuries. Many people with hand and joint pain claim it has stopped arthritic pain in their fingers etc. It has been used for diabetic ulcers and to speed healing after surgery.

Pineapple can help digestion and is often used in some countries following the evening meal. It breaks down protein easily easing the demand on the body for its reserve Supply of enzymes. It reduces blood clotting and can helps reduce or remove plaque from the artery walls.

It can actually help improve circulation and has helped many people who suffer from angina. It has helped bronchitis by clearing mucous waste and throat infections by digesting dead or diseased cells and microbes in the throat. It has helped all sorts of digestive problems and works like a laxative and a diuretic. It's great for the brain too, helping with memory, sadness and that melancholy feeling. Other claims are that it helps cure eczema, gout, hiccups with one bite and lowers blood pressure.

So here's the easy raw recipe.

Hard to believe but there is only one ingredient. It's best made in a Champion juicer or Green Life, Green Power or Green Star Juicer or any juice extractor that has a homogenizing blank, however, it can be made in a food processor too. Centrifugal type juicers usually won't work though - the mass market kind. You can try it if you have a juicer.

If you have a Trader Joe's in your area you can easily find frozen pineapple tidbits they have in the frozen food case. Or you can use frozen pineapple from any other store it doesn't matter. If you can't buy frozen pineapple you can buy fresh chunks and freeze them or cut up fresh pineapple and freeze them.

I've found fresh pineapple from Costco seems to be the cheapest running around per pineapple. Produce people have told me they grow like weeds in Hawaii and it's doubtful they're sprayed with chemicals. Cooked or canned pineapple won't work and don't contain bromolain, which is destroyed when it's heated.

So take any amount of frozen pineapple and put it in the Champion juicer with the homogenizing blank or Green Life, Green Power or Green Star with the homogenizing blank or just use a food processor. In the juice extractors just run it through. In the food processor process it Fast until creamy and quickly remove and refreeze.

You can also run frozen raspberries through after the ice cream and swirl some through or on the top of the pineapple ice cream for a nice effect.

You'll magically have made the healthiest pineapple ice cream, sherbet or sorbet raw recipe on the planet and nobody will know they're eating healthy, unless you tell them of course. This raw pineapple recipe is so easy and so good for us!

Eat More Vegetables - 12 Easy Sneaky Ways to Get More Vegetables on Your Plate

Do you get 5-12 servings of fruits and vegetables every day?

I bet you would love to get your family eating more fruits and vegetables (and yourself too!) The latest recomMendation is 5 - 12 servings and I am pretty sure MOST people don't eat nearly that!

I have some really sneaky ways to hide fruit and vegetable servings!

I don't find it difficult to personally get my recomMended fruits and vegetables. My house is loaded with fresh produce of all descriptions. I have fresh watermelon, honey dew melon, cantaloupe, pears, apples (red delicious and granny smith), naval oranges, tangerines, blueberries, green and red grapes, bananas, a mango, black plums, nectarines, lemons, limes, avocado... and I am probably missing something. I also have several bags of frozen fruits in the freezer (mostly berries). That's just the fruit!

I won't begin to list all the fresh vegetables I have on hand... I know I would miss a lot. Health is not, however, about what I eat today (or what my family eats today). Health is about what we eat consistently over time. Each day of getting an abundance of fresh whole fruits and vegetables adds up to the grand total that will make a difference over the enTire course of your life. It will affect how you feel, how you look, how you move, how you respond to viruses, how you fight off things like cancer. It is important that you pay attention to this now. It is not too late to start eating more fruits and vegetables.

As a mom, I found a number of creative ways over the years to get extra servings of vegetables into meals and snacks. You know the obvious ways, i.e. salads, veggie side dishes, and fresh fruit snacks or desserts, but these can get boring or tedious.

Here are 12 ways to make sure you get more fruits and vegetables.

Use grated vegetables in Pasta sauces - When I used a canned Pasta sauce I always saute onions, garlic, fresh mushrooms, green and red peppers and add the sauce with or with out browned ground beef, but I ALSO grate several large carrots to put in. Carrots give the sauce a real fresh flavored lift and the tomato sauce disguises the carrot flavor. To this day my family does not know I put carrots in their Pasta sauce. Grated vegetables are also good in meat loaf or hamburger patties. When having spaghetti, grate a zucchini or 2 lengthwise and add it to the long noodles. If you peeled it they may not even know! Mix grated vegetables (carrots, onions, into salad Dressings or sour cream and use as a veggie or corn chip dip. Smoothies - Using fresh or frozen berries as a base throw in some flax seed oil, a banana, and some melon (water melon, honey dew or cantaloupe) Then for more liquid JUICE 2 large carrots per person, and 1 pear per person, to dump in the blender instead of water! Add some "super fruit" powder or "green" powder to your smoothies for added wallop. Today it's easy to find organic freeze dried acai powder, goji powder, raspberry powder or any number of high antioxidant pure fruit powders. You can even find a mix of greens and fruits... these powders dramatically increase the power of your smoothie. Semi-frozen strawberry yogurt- take a cup of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of strawberry yogurt, 2 scoops of protein powder, and 2 tablespoons on flax seed oil. Blend. Add just enough apple or orange juice (or water) so the berries blend) Pour into bowls. This is MUCH more delicious than ice cream and makes a wonderful breakFast for children who don't like to eat in the morning Make more casseroles- meatless casseroles with cheese and spices are a yummy way to load up on veggies, and their easy too! Chop. Stir. Bake. Serve. Make it accessible... Veggies always fresh chopped and in serving sizes... with meals I put the large salad out and I get out their favorite salad Dressings ad open the top and set it right next to the silverware, I always have fresh home made salsa available and they will often scoop that up as a condiment or side dish. Make fresh cobblers for dessert instead of pies. Lots of fruit in a very lightly greased baking dish topped with a crumble of equal parts raw oatmeal, almond meal, shaved coconut and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Add a bit of coconut oil to make a crumbly mixture and bake at 350 until fruit is soft and bubbly. If using apples or peaches sprinkle a bit of cinnamon. Berries may require a bit of your choice of sweetener. It is very Fast to do something like this up and pop it in the oven after you take the casserole out. It is ready when your meal is done! Wrap large lettuce leaves around sandwich filling instead of bread. And don't forget celery or carrot sticks spread with peanut butter. YUM!

The other night my teen age daughter actually ASKED for a vegetarian dinner. I had taken some pita breads, brushed them with olive oil and sprinkled them with garlic powder and sea salt and then baked them until lightly browned at 450 degrees. Then I served some home made salsa, a guacamole made with fresh avocado, juice of one lime, garlic clove crushed, and cilantro, and served both dips with the "chips" and some carrots, celery, cucumbers, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. The ONLY reason she asked for this is because she LOVES the "homemade nacho chips".

My rule of thumb is.. if I am having something they aren't crazy about, I serve it with something they love!

Happy healthy eating to you, and get your 5-12 a day! Twelveliness is next to healthiness!

Juice is sensitive to Air, so it should be kept in an Airtight glass container and filled right up to the top to make sure that there is the least amount of Air inside the container as possible. Keep the container away from light by wrapping it in aluminum foil and storing it in the refrigerator.

Fruit and vegetable juices should be consumed at room temperature. If they have been stored in the refrigerator, remove them at least half an hour before consuming. Never drink juice that is over 24 hours old, as all of the nutritional value and main benefits of juicing will have been lost.
