In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a gorgeous and flavorful Summertime Fruit Salad. The in-season fruits of peaches, blackberries, and bananas are used in this salad, and it is bound together with a tangy lemon sauce. Very Refreshing! Ingredients: 3 medium-sized peaches, peeled and sliced 3 medium bananas, peeled and sliced 1 pint blackberries, washed and drained. 1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed or reconstituted) 1/2 cup Splenda (or sugar) Slice 3 peaches and 3 bananas into two separate bowls. Immediately cover each bowl of fruit with up to 1/4 cup of lemon juice to hold the color and freshness. Wash and drain 1 pint of blackberries into a separate bowl. Now, use a large bowl, and combine the 3 prepared fruits (including lemon juice). Add 1/2 cup Splenda or sugar. Stir gently, so that the blackberries will not bleed into the other fruits. When completely blended, pour the fruit mixture into a nice, clear serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is a great salad for using seasonal fruits; it looks and tastes lovely!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty Lemonade Syrup Splash. It is a concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze and have instant, refreshing lemonade anytime! Ingredients: 1 cup fresh lemon juice (In a pinch, you may use reconstituted lemon juice from a bottle.) 2 cups sugar (You may use artificial sweetener, if you choose. I used Splenda.) 1 cup water Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. (You may cool this syrup at room temperature for a bit, and then you may refrigerate it to make it cool faster.) Add 1 cup lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (I use a *clean* mayonnaise jar with a lid, and shake the mixture every time I use it.) When ready to serve, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemonade syrup to 1 tall glass of ice water. During the summertime this is great to keep in your refrigerator. You can have a tall, refreshing glass instantly, or you can use more of the syrup for a pitcher of lemonade for lunch or dinner! This should be one of your savers!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a great side dish for lunch or dinner—Bettys Orange Glazed Beets. The beets are glazed with a paste made of brown sugar, butter, flour, and orange juice. The combination of sweet and tart with the beets is fantastic! Beets are a natural source of beta carotene, a component that promotes good health and prevents disease. Ingredients: 16 oz. can sliced beets 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons brown sugar ½ cup orange juice Heat 16 oz. beets in their own liquid. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ½ cup orange juice. Return to heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Drain heated beets. Add sauce to beets, and stir gently to coat. Pour into a nice serving dish. These beets are an excellent accompaniment to almost any meat entree. Happy beet-eating!

I have type 2 diabetes and recently lost 30 pounds with raw foods and green juices. I could not do a lot of fruit juice due to my diabetes. This juice provides plenty of greens, which are recommended when you try to eat more raw foods. I use a blender and a paint strainer bag – but would recommend a nut milk bag. I am now going for the next 30 pounds drinking a quart of this juice daily along with a mostly raw food diet. If you would like to follow along and get updates, subscribe to my channel and my blog at: www.bjaysblog.blogspot.com I also have a Rawbetes community – a forum for people with diabetes who are trying to get more raw food in their diet. You can find the link on my blog.
