I’m counting down to the Believe In Green 10-day Green Smoothie Challenge.

This year’s challenge is benefiting the Lower Eastside Girls Club. In honor of the event, The Raw Divas have lined up 10 Fascinating Big Thinkers for the Challenge participants.

Ani Phyo is scheduled for Friday, August 20th. Ms. Phyo is a raw food chef-extraordinaire! I’m looking forward to checking out her newest book, Ani’s Raw Food Essentials. Having already browsed some of her Raw Food Dessert recipes, I’m confident this book will be filled with new treats to taste! When Ms. Phyo is not in the kitchen, she shares her time helping teach youth how to create their own gardens with Community Services Unlimited. For some great how-to videos and some wonderful culinary adventures check out her website, www.AniPhyo.com, the Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato looks like a perfect match for my ripening cherry tomatoes!
