Here's the recipe for the raw chocolate "maple" syrup that I put on top of that yummilicious Xammin' Pancake.
Ingredients:
1 hass avocado or half of a large avocado
1/4 C Raw Cacao powder
1 Tbsp. Maca Root Powder
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/4 C Raw Honey or Agave
1/2 C Water
Recipe: Mix all ingredients in the food processor until it becomes somewhat-pudding like and there's no chunks of avocado left. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Taste it and add more sweetener if necessary.
After I made this, I put it in a dispenser and dispensed it onto my Xammin' Pancake:
Then I smoothed out the "Maple" syrup and sprinkled cinnamon on top:
And then I cut it into 3 parts and served it to me and my roommates!!! Yum!!
Ingredients:
1/2 C Dates (pitted)
1/2 C Raisins
1/2 C Walnuts
1/2 C Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp. Honey or Agave
Recipe: Throw the dates in the food processor and let it go until they're nice little balls/chunks. Then throw the raisins in there with them and go until the raisins lose their structure a little bit. Add the walnuts until they've broken down to little chunks then add the oats and go until it makes a fine looking batter as shown above. Add the honey to get a little more stickiness-factor in there and make a 1/2" thick patty the size of your pancake.
Comfortably serves 4

I'm starting to like these white smoothies...recipe?
1 Grapefruit
1 Banana
1 Tangerine
5 Yellow Beans
5 Kale Stems
1 Tbsp RevitaPhi
1 Tbsp. Maca Powder
2 Tsp. Spirulina
1/2 C Natural Spring Water from my partner's house
Peel everything (except for the beans and kale stems!) and throw all ingredients in the blender!
Those cookies in the dehydrator? Yeah, here's the recipe:
3c Soaked Almond Pulp (that we used for making almond milk)
2c Soaked Oats
1c raisins
1c apricots
3 Tbsp. Raw Local Honey
3 Tbsp. Cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Carob powder
2 Tbsp. Maca root powder
Throw the raisins by themselves in the food processor on high until they break down a little bit. Then throw in the apricots until they break down as well. Take the pulped almonds and oats and put them in a bowl and add the dried fruit. Mix it up real good. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix it up some more real good. Make small (thinish) patties and put it into the dehydrator @ 105 degrees for 8 hours or until dry.
Tonight we made collard wraps and now we're waiting on the oatmeal cookies are in the dehydrator.
Collard Wrap recipe? Simple ingredients - intermediate preperation - those leaves can be tricky!
We used:
Fresh Collards
Zucchini
Carrot
Celery
Red Pepper
Kelp Noodles
Corn
Ginger
Nama Shoyu
And my own variant of Tonya's Seed Cheese
Julienne (long thing slices) all the veggies except the collards, corn and ginger. Mince the ginger, and slice the corn off the cob. Take a collard leaf and lay it on your plate so that the dark green is on the bottom. Add a healthy layer of the seed cheese on it long-ways and directly on top of that the corn & ginger (it will stick in the seed cheese and not fall out). Then add kelp noodles followed by the rest of the ingredients with nama shoyu being last. Then wrap it!
So this was my to-go smoothie this morning to take on the road:
1 grapefruit
1 big leaf of local kale stem and all
1 pear
1 banana
1 handful sprouted mung beans
~15 local yellow beans pod and all
1/2 a lime's juice
1 Tbsp Raw local honey
Local Natural Spring Water
Scoop the grapefruit in there - flesh and all, cut up the pear, take the stems off the yellow beans, squeeze the lime and add all the rest of the ingredients in the blender and voila! You have a beautiful-looking, delicious white-ish smoothie!
Hey Everybody, I was Xammin' this morning and in a BIG hurry to get out the door, but I made sure I had enough time for 2 smoothies!
First one was a variant of my sweetheart's smoothie:
Raw Cacao
Local Spring Water at 16ppm (parts per million)
1 Banana
1/4 c Raw Local Honey
1 tbsp Spirulina
1 tsp MSM
So this morning my sweetie made
a raw chocolate smoothie
that got me feeling groovie.
Recipe? As always, very simple and easy:
Ing:
Natural Spring Water
Raw Chocolate Powder
Kelp
Acai
Hemp Protein Powder
1 Apple
Raw Local Honey
Throw it all in the blender and blend until smooth!
The Acai with all the antioxidants and vitamin C couple together well with the endorphin releasing Cacao with Theobromine. Top it off with the low-glycemic local honey from a farmer that is completely natural - no antibiotics, doesn't feed the bees sugar in the winter, and cuts with a cold knife - give it that sweet taste and the hemp powder gives the natural protein your body needs. Top that off with the wondrous kelp from the sea and you're feeling GREAT!
My partner's roommate Tonya made a seed cheese today - a kind of multi-purpose dip/spread/dressing to do a variety of things with. We put them on some onion flax bread and leaves of kale to make nice little wraps. I've also used this type of thing as a salad dressing (if you add more water) and as a hummus substitute! Anyway, here's the recipe from today's!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c sunflower seeds
1/4 c nama shoyu
3 lemons
3 cloves of garlic
2 tsps cayenne powder (or 1/2 a cayenne pepper)
Water to consistancy
Recipe:
Blend or grind the sunflower seeds by themselves until they're a coarse powder.
In the blender, put in the nama shoyu, squeeze the lemons, add the garlic and cayenne. On top of all that add the sunflower seed powder and blend (and add water) until you've achieved a hummus-like consistancy. If using for a dressing add more water until you've reached the consistancy you'd like!
I'm real impressed with the collard wrap I got today at the local organic grocery store - Greenlife. The chef of the Living Foods department there, Misty Northam is great! She makes this sauce for the wraps, I'm not sure what exactly it is but it must have an ume base with some nama shoyu, ginger and lemon. I'll figure this one out for you guys - some variation of it anyhow and post it up!
So here's my recipe for this morning's raw fruit and vegetable smoothie!
I used:
2 bananas
1 gala apple
3 leaves of lacinto kale
3 kale stems
1 celery heart (leaves and all)
Good dose of cacao RevitaPhi ImmuneDetox Spirulina
Dash of Cayenne Honey
MSM
Water
Raw Crust:
1 cup of dates pitted
1 cup of walnuts
Dash of Cinnamon
Splash of Honey (or Agave of you're a strict V)
Throw the dates into the food processor by themselves first. Or chop them. Let them grind into little balls then throw the walnuts and cinnamon in there. Process for about 45 seconds and add the honey. I used about 1 1/2 tablespoons? At this point everything should stick together pretty nicely and you should be able to form the batter any way you wish. Some people would stop here and just eat the crust 'cause it's so good. But I promise, if you keep going it gets better. Fit the crust to whatever pan you're using. Be sure to go up the sides, 'cause that's the best part.
Raw Chocolate Filling:
1 ripe large avocado (or a couple ripe hass avocados, you know, the regular ones)
Mmmm, around 1/4c of cacao? This varies depending on how dark you want it Honey to taste - this varies depending on how sweet you want it
Put the Avocado in the food processer and blend on a low speed for a good bit - about 2 minutes until it makes a smooth creamy consistancy. Then add the cacao and honey and process a li'l more. I also threw in a pinch of cayenne powder. That's completely optional. Add the filling to the crust and smooth it out nicely.
Throw the bananas in the food processor for a good bit....5-8 minutes? It'll get creamy a fluffy. You'll know what I'm talkin' about. Scrape down the sides as needed. Add the cacao nibs after it's reached that consistancy and process for another few seconds to mix them in. Then add it to the top.
Put the pie in the freezer after throwing a nice little garnish on top - I used apple slices. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes and enjoy! Comfortably serves 4.
Remember to get creative and play around! This is YOUR dessert!
