My Favorite Easy Raw Treats

I thought I'd post a couple of my favorite recipes. I love treats and goodies, so in order to maintain a certain amount of raw foods in my diet and get nutrition and not just calories, I have a few tricks up my sleeve *U*

*With all these recipes I don't measure much. You just add or subtract to adjust for taste and textures.

Double D Raw Detox Breakfast Smoothie~

(This is what Doug and I have for breakfast in the mornings)

I use the Vita Mix for this recipe

1 1/2 frozen bananas

1 cup mixed berries- any will do, I use the purples, reds, and blues

1 cup very cold water

1/4 cup flax seeds

Blend until smooth and pour into glasses to enjoy.

Coco Nutty Halvah~

I use a coffee grinder for this recipe



2 grinders full of pureed raw (the white) sesame seeds

1 grinder full of pureed coconut (I use the bags of shaved I get from the health food store)

1/2 cup almond butter (or coconut spread)

1/2 cup carob powder

1/2 cup unprocessed coconut oil

3 TB of raw honey (or more, to taste)



* you can also add cocao nibs



mix this all up by hand or food processor. It's thick. Spread into a pan and make "brownies" or roll into balls. Put tem in the fridge or even freeze if you like. These are super yummy and kick the candy/chocolate cravings. Besides, they are chock full of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

*Don't worry about measurements so much. Just get the consistency and flavor you like.

This is the most satisfying treat. I LOVE it!
