Raw Cookie Recipe

This is one of my all time favorite raw cookie recipes. Many people don't like raw chocolate but for me it seems to work as long as I do it in moderation.

So here goes the raw cookie recipe, chocolate chip style:

1. 2 cups cashews
2. 2 cups almond flour
3. 1/2 cup agave nectar
4. 4 table spoons coconut oil (melted if possible)
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla to taste
6. pinch of sea salt
7. 1/2 cup cacao nibs

I like to split this raw cookie recipe in half and do it in two stages because it's easier on my food processor. In any event, put all the ingredients and blend. Then form into flat cookies and dehydrate on 105 degrees for about 12-18 hours.

Enjoy.

Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

This was a fun chia seed recipe that I put together that is sweet but not too sweet. It tastes amazing.

1. 1/2 cup chia seeds soaked in 3 cups water overnight.
2. 2 packets stevia powder
3. 1/4 cup agave nectar
4. Huge tablespoon raw cacao powder or raw carob powder if you prefer *

* You can always replace the chocolate flavor with fresh fruits if that suits you better.

Raw Soup

This raw soup recipe is rather quick and easy. It's also perfect for the winter months. I kind of made this up on my own but also got ideas from books like Ani's Raw Food Kitchen and raw food real world. Essentially I made it up and man is it good. So here she goes:

1. Heat 2 cups water on the stove to 160 degrees.

Add to the blender these ingredients.

2. 1/4 cup spinach
3. 1/4 cub cilantro
4. 2 celery stalks
5. 1 clove garlic
6. 1 tomato
7. 1/4 cup olive oil
8. 1/4 cup basil
9. big chunk of fresh onion

Poor water in and blend until smooth.

After it's done, add cut up avocado chunks, carrot chunks and use a spiral slicer to make noodles.

Enjoy. :)
