Post yoga raw vegan “cereal” with brazil nut “milk”!

Mmm! It’s 3am and I’m already up creating a delicious after yoga breakfast for my girlfriends and I! We are headed to a 5am hot yoga class! I get excited for yoga! I get even more excited over good organic raw vegan food! Wild local blueberries, fresh mint, “nannas” and golden mulberries! I’m topping this with Brazil nut “milk” infused with vanilla bean and cinnamon!

 

The recipe is simple!

1 Cup blueberries fresh or frozen

1 banana chopped 

4 mint leaves chopped

1/2 Cup golden mulberries 

dash of cinnamon 

 

For the “milk”

Take 1 Cup of Brazil nuts and blend them in a high power blender with three cups of water. Strain through a strainer or nut milk bag and add fresh vanilla bean!

 

Pour the Brazil nut milk over the chopped fruit and devour without shame or guilt!

To be a Queen, you must eat like one!♡♡♡ #foodporn #lfrv #rawvegan #fullyraw #wholefoods

Raw vegan chocolate brownies

Raw vegan chocolate brownies


 These are to die for! They are gluten free, dairy free and take less than 10 minutes to make! This recipe came about once I discovered my beloved expresso brownie at my favorite organic grocery contained canola oil:( Sigh 
I promise you these will be the most decadent moist, divine brownie you will ever eat! They are packed with a unique chocolate espresso flavor! Hey…You ready?! Did I mention they don’t cause cellulite?!
 
Serves: ~ 10-20 people or one VERY hungry girl who is in her pre menstrual phase or pregnant:) Just kidding!
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cups raw walnuts, divided
  • 1/3 Cup chopped walnuts
  • 
2 – 2 1/2 cups Medjool or Deglet Nour dates, pitted
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder 
  • 1-2 TB espresso powder or finely ground ORGANIC coffee (depending on preference)
  • pinch sea salt
  • a pinch of cinnamon 
  • a tiny piece of vanilla bean or 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
 
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. First, sprout your nuts by soaking them over night then draining the soak water in the morning! Then, place 1 cup walnuts in the food processor and process until finely ground.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, espresso powder and sea salt. Pulse to combine and then transfer to bowl and set aside.
  3. PIT YOUR DATES! Then, add the dates to the food processor and process until small bits remain. Remove from bowl and set aside.
  4. Add nut and cocoa mixture back into food processor and while processing, drop small handfuls of the date pieces down into the food processor spout. Process until a dough consistency is achieved, adding more dates if the mixture does not hold together when squeezed in your hand. Fold in the chocolate chips!
  5. Add the brownie mixture to a small cake pan or loaf pan (I like to lightly dust my pan with coconut sugar first to avoid sticking)! Then add remaining 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts. Toss to combine and evenly distribute, and then press down with you hands until it is flat and firm.
  6. Place in freezer or fridge to chill before cutting. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh. Will keep in the fridge for at least 2 1/2 weeks and in the freezer for at least 2 months.

Raw vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Balls! AKA 5 minute cookies!!!

Raw vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Balls! AKA 5 minute cookies!!!health bites 1
 
Total Time: 5 minutes
 
Yield: 2 dozen bites
 
 
These healthy oatmeal cookie balls are delicious knock off  of oatmeal cookies. I was inspired to make these after watching a video the other day with a young boy (adorable lil guy) eating a store bought health bar! Those are great as long as you read the labels however I prefer to always make my own treats:)The honey is rich in enzymes and all the ingredients are natural and organic!
Ingredients
 
6 dates (pitted)
a few (a small handful) un sulfured dried golden raisins
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ cup organic finely shredded coconut
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 Cup walnuts (OPTIONAL)
2TB raw honey
2 tsp of each of the following
cinnamon 
maca root powder
holy basil
Instructions
 
Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or a food processor adding the chocolate chips last. Stick the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the nut mixture has chilled and firmed up slightly.
With damp hands, form 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball, squeezing it until about 1-inch wide and very compact. Chill the cookie balls until ready to serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to snack on throughout the week.
Notes
 
These healthy dessert balls have lots of great ingredients for your skin, hormones, blood sugar and the holy basil powder makes them have a calming effect! Replace the raw honey with maple syrup and you have vegan oatmeal cookies! Be sure and pin these or share them on your social media:)health bites 2
