sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice

I've made this delectable drink the last couple of mornings. Perfect start for a Spring day (I'm in Australia) or any season. Just a few ingredients - looked and tasted like heaven!

I've needed a decent size smoothie to take on the bus with me in the morning, but not too big. I usually get 2 huge mug-size fulls out of it and it keeps me full and happy (even if i'm standing on the bus with 800 lbs of books on my back haha).

This dish is very simple, very tasty and very filling!

I've had some chia seeds sitting in my pantry for a few months now and, after a little research, made some chia seed gel (1/3 cup chia seeds mixed with 2 cups of water or fresh fruit juice - or perhaps a nut milk).

Haha, it was very exciting to wait, and watch, those little seeds to soak up the water - a minimum of 10 minutes - and the gel can be stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container (for up to 2 weeks if mixed with water). It reminded me of pearl tapioca which I haven't eaten since I was 7 years old!

I just put all my favorite sweet things in a vita mix and went to town. It's in the freezing right now which is really testing my patience, i need a distraction!

Raw Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream

This is a very exotic flavor combination, very difficult to stop eating...
