Getting ready for my Raw Food, Vegan, and Gluten-free Thanksgiving on Thursday, using all whole food and superfood ingredients. Here's a new recipe made with Cashew Kream that is topped with persimmon off a friend's tree. It's then finished with mesquite-lucuma sauce and cacao that's been candied with coconut sugar. This is one of my new favorite desserts, and I'm feeling grateful. What's your favorite Thanksgiving recipe?
I whipped up some Superfood Cacao Avocado Tartlets for a dinner party tonight. They are made with avocado for creaminess, and sweetened with superfoods: lucuma, carob, stevia since I'm watching my sugars (no syrups and need low-glycemic). Added in spirulina, which is why the pudding's a bit green. The crust is made with raisins, cacao, pink sea salt, and cashews. Topped with goji berries and vanilla sauce. Delicious way to detox in the summertime with whole, unprocessed, local, seasonal, nutritious, rawfood goodness!
Energy Truffles are a great way to power a long hike, bike ride, and even a car ride. These truffles travel easily, and are packed full of delicious organic goodness. I took this batch on a 4-hour hike in the Santa Monica Mountains this past weekend with my personal trainer. Each time our energy would get low, we'd pop one of these truffles to boost our endurance and stamina. They are made with omega-3 rich walnuts, antioxidant filled cranberry and raisins, and superfood cacao and maca. Flavored with a hint of vanilla, and rolled in coconut. Delicious!
