sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
Great things are discovered by complete accident and this was one of them for me! I started out by trying to find a healthy snack for my husband's late night cravings since he decided that his usual bowl of ice cream MIGHT be putting pounds around the waist? As shocked as I WASN'T, I was on a quest! I have an abundance of ground almonds from making almond milk and I needed to get rid of them, so I originally was going to make almond butter. But I couldn't get it to the right consistency because I have a really small food processor that basically sucks. I had just bought a tub of fresh strawberries and for whatever cooking-genius reason, I wondered if I could mix it all together to make a delicious fruity nut butter!
So I got out of yoga class at 9 PM and came home knowing that it was too late too gorge on the walnut "meatballs" uncooking in the dehydrator. What to do?
The following shake is the beautiful baby that was born from my post-yogic brain. Enjoy it. Savor it. Ommmmmmmmmm
Cheers!

This raw, non-dairy ice cream recipe tastes just like a cinnamon bun with vanilla icing. It is so yummy, that didn't last two days in my freezer and I'm not ashamed about that. Why? Because it is super hydrating and full of live, nutrient-rich fats and sugars that my body wants and needs. Plus, no ice cream maker is necessary for this super creamy recipe.

This is a great replacement for the yummy Apple Butter your granny used to make. No cooking or refined sugar involved in this version so it's oh so good for you :)
