Raw Smoothie Week

Similar to a juice fast, a raw smoothie challenge is meant to be undertaken for a short period of time, like for a few days or a week maximum since smoothies are not nutritionally complete. They can be a great way to transition between unhealthful eating to cleaner eating.

This challenge also includes unlimited fruit as snacks in between smoothie meals.

Raw for Food Lovers Week (Intermediate)

This week is perfect if you already have some experience making raw food. We get a little more advanced this week, making slightly more complex recipes like pies and cakes.

No dehydrator is required this week though.

Cindy's Amazing Raw Chocolate Pie

The most delicious raw chocolate pie you will ever eat!

You're going to love this!

This is so good, it rarely lasts 2 days at our house! But will keep in the fridge for 5 days or so.

"Back to India" Raw Fruits and Nuts Nougat

A friend of mine wanted to find a raw version of nougat, as she tasted a delicious one.

I searched for special ingredients that would re-create the gooey and "caramely" taste of traditional nougat.

What I found is simply delicious, fatty, extra sweet, but even better than the original version.

I usually don't used honey, but in this case, I think it has a major role in the nougat taste.

I discovered that mixing sugar - agave, maple or honey - with melted cocoa butter ended up, when refrigerated, to a sticky cooked caramel texture. Yummy discovery!

Cardamom Spice Raw Donut Holes

These raw cookie balls (or donut holes) are so quick and easy.

Arrange on a platter with fruit for parties and other gatherings. Even raw skeptics will love this simple dessert.

Using freshly ground cardamom really does make a big difference! If you don't have a spice grinder, you can do it the ol' fashioned way with a mortar and pestle.

I rolled some balls in coconut for a variety of flavors. It looks pretty too!

I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookie with Hemp Frosting

I like the cacao bean texture in this crust.

Depending on the raw honey you use, the flavor will change.

Experiment and have fun!
