And after you're done with that deliciousness, there's still the coconut meat left to finish off. Perfffffect. Don't live in Seattle? Never fear! You can easily make this in the comfort of your own home....</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-30890754092362748602011-02-26T19:12:00.000-08:002011-02-26T19:12:57.755-08:00Raw Banana PancakesI got a serious pancake craving today. So I turned to my trusty copy of <a href="http://www.aniphyo.com/">Ani Phyo's Raw Food Essentials</a> and found her recipe for Brazil Nut Banana pancakes. I modified it for the ingredients I had, and was really happy with the results! I used some delicious coconut nectar for syrup :)<br />

I hope you had a great Valentines Day, and today's post is just bringing you a lil' recipe for some everyday treats you can make in five minutes! These are my favorite raw treats, they remind me so much of Reeses peanut butter cups. They're not to sweet(but adjustable of course!) and not too rich, like so many raw pies and cakes can be. Any raw nut butter will do, next time I will try with coconut butter :) I was really intimidated to try this recipe so here's a step-by-step just for you:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZOsr8CAqkDeYBtd79Aa6hDs6YFRpkzMIN9EuvZNPcLYsQoiTsyYfQmDsuCdpSx_3pKEHtS2iwdEX5p5_hxi0NRsjfeURbXOeaf3Ku4oQvlzPL6d0fl6jGSOe6plkgM5xZXpvtWel53zE/s1600/IMG_3318.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZOsr8CAqkDeYBtd79Aa6hDs6YFRpkzMIN9EuvZNPcLYsQoiTsyYfQmDsuCdpSx_3pKEHtS2iwdEX5p5_hxi0NRsjfeURbXOeaf3Ku4oQvlzPL6d0fl6jGSOe6plkgM5xZXpvtWel53zE/s200/IMG_3318.jpg" width="150" /></a>First prepare a batch of liquid chocolate a la Ani Phyo, or just combine one part liquid extra virgin coconut oil to one part ground cacao, I used 1/2 C : 1/2 C. If you live in a warm climate your coconut oil is probably already liquidated, but if you live in a Seattle-like climate just run the jar under warm water a few minutes, it melts quickly. Avoid microwaving. If you're using cacao nibs, which I highly recommend, grind them very well, for at least a minute to avoid graininess. Then sweeten to taste with coconut nectar, agave, stevia, or mesquite(I used 1 T mesquite) and pour half of the mixture into a muffin tin as pictured above. Throw in the freezer for about 5 minutes to solidify the chocolate.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnU7zT-KMyszM1b1hDSfnIYeFq1zRvXCnFhDtXOQ9QTg824HpTCN2eYljSy0fYbN5vlcb1bWw_joV6GZ2L52SlJQ_wGJlLDwj_vkK3OFQMmDXNtSH3HuZ5TzZhFXjnG2X3Ykj2zhGH5A/s1600/IMG_4981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnU7zT-KMyszM1b1hDSfnIYeFq1zRvXCnFhDtXOQ9QTg824HpTCN2eYljSy0fYbN5vlcb1bWw_joV6GZ2L52SlJQ_wGJlLDwj_vkK3OFQMmDXNtSH3HuZ5TzZhFXjnG2X3Ykj2zhGH5A/s200/IMG_4981.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stir your almond butter with about 1/2 t pink himalayan sea salt and scoop 1-2 t on to your solidified chocolate pieces. Distribute the last of the chocolate over the almond butter and throw in the freezer for about 20 minutes.</div><br />

I tried their brand new Dragon roll with red rice, avacado, cucumber, cilantro, wrapped in sesame ginger sauce and nori. It came with a truly amazing "garlic cilantro god sauce" for dipping. I will be saving the remainder for my salad tomorrow. I am seriously interested to know what's in that amazi-balls sauce, but can understand why it would be a secret...<br />

I'm not sure what their method of preparing everything is, but everything tasted very fresh and delicious! They best part is you can bring your omnivore friends in and everyone can get something to enjoy :) Omit the fajita veggies and sauces for a truly raw salad. Here's what I got:<br />

Well, my new obsession is Rawmesan. A friend actually recommended <a href="http://www.eatintheraw.com/">Parma</a>, a vegan parmesan which I will definitely try next time, but in the same section I found Rawmesan for a cheaper price and less ingredients. I usually roll with olive, macadamia, or coconut oil for salad dressing, but when I sprinkle this on, it really pumps up the flavor and satiety of my salad, almost like a cooked meal. It's also great sprinkled on veggies! This stuff is great for people who are <i>okay</i> with nutritional yeast, but think it's a little overpowering.<br />

<br />
I took a few days off and now am back strong with some "Resolutions" for you. After eating all of that <a href="http://holaraw.blogspot.com/2010/12/raw-gingerbread-cookies-with-vanilla.html">Raw</a> <a href="http://holaraw.blogspot.com/2010/12/sleigh-bells-ring-are-you-listenin.html">Junk</a> <a href="http://holaraw.blogspot.com/2010/12/raw-chocolate-smackdown.html">Food</a> over the holiday I am ready to reduce some of the high fat and sugar foods in my diet and focus on vegetables and greens as much as possible. It seems everyone in the bloggy world is making resolutions. I admire <a href="http://carrotsncake.com/">Tina</a> so much for <a href="http://carrotsncake.com/2010/12/confessions-of-a-sugarholic.html">sharing her sugar difficulties</a> with everyone. As you probably know, many people experience emotional AND physical cravings for sugar that are tough to get over, and I am so happy to see her success!<br />
<br />
Some diet/fitness goals for 2011:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Eat a salad every day.</b><br />
<br />
You would think I already do this, but sometimes I either crave fat or carbs and choose some 'vegan junk food' instead or simply just want something HOT.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Reduce sugar intake.</b><br />
<br />
Sugar shakes me up. Even the natural kind can mess with me and my blood sugar. I would be lying if I didn't say I'd love to eat an entire box of dates in one sitting, so I feel that by purposefully reducing my sugar intake I will also reduce my cravings for it.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Make more raw food 'meals,' not just desserts, as to not get bored. </b><br />
<br />
I got Ani Phyo's Raw Food Essentials for christmas and I plan to use it!<br />
<br />
<b>4. Reduce unnecessary fat intake.</b><br />
<br />
Now, I know that fats are essential to life, so I promise to not over-do this. I always have a healthy dose of olive, macademia (I received some Hawai'ian oil from 'santa' this year), or coconut oil on my salad and love to munch on raw nuts and avacados. But just because things are raw it doesn't mean I should exceed the daily normal value. I don't <i>need </i>10 handfuls of Brazil nuts or 25 raw cookies made of almond flour with cashew icing. This goal is to simply be more mindful, that's all.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Fruit for breakfast.</b><br />
<br />
Instead of nothing.<br />
<br />
<b>6. No Starbucks food.</b><br />
<br />
My sister and I both work at Starbucks, so this will be a toughie.<br />
<br />
<b>7. 30 minutes of exercise a day with one rest day!</b><br />
<br />
My sis and I are both committing to this, you can too!<br />
<br />
<b>8. Do yoga once a week.</b><br />
<br />
For some reason this is harder for me than it used to be. I just can't seem to make my mind relax, and that makes me anxious and stiff. I would really like to get back into this. Any tips?<br />
<br />
<b>9. Incorporate more fermented foods/probiotics into my diet.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
I love Kombucha and Rejuvelac, but I definitely drink a lot more black coffee and tea than I do that. I think that would definitely make a difference in my health and general well being. Any more probiotic food suggestions?<br />
<br />
<b>10. Dance, laugh, sing, create, be...</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />

<br />
Blend 'er Up:<br />
<br />
3/4 C cashews (add more depending on the thickness you like)<br />
1 1/2 C water<br />
1 date, soaked for 15-20 minutes(use the date soak water for this recipe because it's sweet)<br />
1 t vanilla extract<br />
1/2 t cinnamon<br />
1/2 t nutmeg<br />
dash of sea salt<br />
<br />
You can blend for a long time to heat it up some like a Nog Latte, or refrigerate for an original Nog experience. I strained mine, but that's up to you. I suppose real eggnog is pretty thick anyways. This makes 1 1/2 cups.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-70154470564113475062010-12-17T18:19:00.000-08:002010-12-17T18:19:36.770-08:00Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGG53DQWmWicmOE03lMOrkXzp6mmcmVcxB_36XxmvTX73CHtxu-SbZ3kxMFYTlYid6mb0Crj0g4FQ7B1u-Y_N65QEVrnc2XnoOrZ-AEnhTNMVTiaxM-NFMm-sJ5HDZtYkqaHmCwOimQKM/s1600/P1171236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGG53DQWmWicmOE03lMOrkXzp6mmcmVcxB_36XxmvTX73CHtxu-SbZ3kxMFYTlYid6mb0Crj0g4FQ7B1u-Y_N65QEVrnc2XnoOrZ-AEnhTNMVTiaxM-NFMm-sJ5HDZtYkqaHmCwOimQKM/s320/P1171236.JPG" width="296" /></a></div><br />
Sans the actual sugar ;) Raw cashew sugar cookie sandwiches!<br />
<br />
Sorry about all of the sweet treats, but hey, it's the holidays!<br />
<br />
1/2 C cashews<br />
1/2 C coconut flour (if you don't have <a href="http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-94718-coconut-secret-raw-coconut-flour-1-lb?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=fpl&utm_term=CoconutSecretRawCoconutFlour1lb&utm_content=103247&utm_campaign=googlebase&site=google_base&">Coconut Secret</a>, just grind shredded coconut in a coffee grinder until it's super super fine like flour)<br />
1 C dates<br />
2 T melted coconut oil<br />
<br />
This dough is like play-dough, I swear! So easy to work with and hard to resist eating. My only problem with making things with cashews is that they're SO rich. It's like the raw vegan equivalent to eating a stick of raw butter. That being said, it shouldn't be hard to stick to one cookie :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-36067947632559013102010-12-16T18:09:00.000-08:002010-12-16T18:10:52.435-08:00Raw Chocolate Smackdown!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Today's post is about chocolate.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">They are all decadent and full of nutrition. As far as the facts go - it all depends on your needs. If you are sensitive to sugar, going with the Rawtella or Cacao Bliss might be your best bet. For me, I like to know that if I breach one serving size, I'm not accidently inhaling 35g of fat so I always choose the Chocolatl. I absolutely recommend giving all 3(especially the chocolatl) a try if they are carried in your area.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

Now, as we all know Whole Foods is not a cheap lunch, so I am by no means a regular, but my boss was treating me today so I thought I'd make a post of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raw Flax Crackers: Delicious! I can't seam to make something this good! I taste ground flax, whole flax, sesame and a delicious blend of spices that makes these crackers anything but bland.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raw Marinated Veggies: Mushrooms, tomatoes, cilanto(or parsley?) peppers, red onion, sun dried tomato what more could you ask for? This is delicious and goes great on top of the crackers.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raw Broccoli Crunch: Now, I have had the real broccoli crunch. The one containing bacon, cashews, and parmesan. This raw vegan version really stands up! The broccoli is lightly sweetened(I suspect with agave) and this great mix also includes raw cashews and currants!</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raw Fettucini: This is kelp noodles with some sort of mild, semi-creamy sauce. It's really not great, anyone could make a better one at home.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Raw Watercress Salad: Plain, nice tasting, and a good way to get greens in!</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
There is also a nice variety of cooked grains that I highly recommend sprinkling over whatever you choose to get!<br />
<br />
I know the selection varies by region, <a href="http://fitnessista.com/2010/12/play-then-work/">Gina</a> is always talking a delicious 'miso slaw' that I've never seen or heard of...what's your favorite salad bar find?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-73473099430618926812010-12-08T22:57:00.000-08:002010-12-08T22:57:55.009-08:00Raw Gingerbread Cookies with Vanilla Cashew Icing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZH_scUxjr5P92t6_ghbFzfYME8iiUQ1q7Lmu2q4WRhAxEUL0mBF702QtVm_U-yINeL2qrfVF7uc8jfR4LPQVDeBWqRA54VKPEMlsrxroVTEj99AIMIrawR_ZUiEOYnTziFNIIc7cDvQ/s1600/Photo+98.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZH_scUxjr5P92t6_ghbFzfYME8iiUQ1q7Lmu2q4WRhAxEUL0mBF702QtVm_U-yINeL2qrfVF7uc8jfR4LPQVDeBWqRA54VKPEMlsrxroVTEj99AIMIrawR_ZUiEOYnTziFNIIc7cDvQ/s320/Photo+98.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Sorry about the bad photo, they're actually a really lovely gingerbread brown color.</span></div><br />
My mom makes the best sugar cookies. Clean white, buttery cookies with what we call "Royal" icing, loaded with powdered sugar and all of those scrumptious things that make the holidays so tempting. I decided to test-run these Raw Vegan 'totally guiltless' Gingerbread Cookies before I bring them home this year. <br />
<br />
Also, I've decided this holiday season to <b>ban Agave Nectar</b> from my diet. There is a lot of controversy surrounding agave nectar, but I really just have to go with how it makes me feel, which is not great. I still have a big 20 oz. bottle of <a href="http://www.matthewkenneycuisine.com/">Mathew Kenney's OhAgave!</a> Syrup on my shelf, but especially in this season of sweets and treats, I'm going to avoid it and thus avoid over-using it. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
<b>Gingerbread cookies:</b><br />
<br />
1 C dry Buckwheat groats<br />
1 t cinnamon<br />
1 t ground ginger<br />
1 t nutmeg<br />
2 T melted coconut oil<br />
1/2-1 C soaked dates<br />
1/8 C ground flax(optional, for a denser cookie. If you do use it, make the cookies thinner)<br />
<br />
Soak dates for 15 minutes-an hour and then blend into a syrupy paste. Grind the buckwheat groats into a fine flour and mix with the spices and flax. Combine the dry ingredients with the date paste and coconut oil. Mix well a flatten a section of the dough onto a nonstick surface like your teflex sheets. shape into whatever you like and turn onto your dehydrator sheet like you would regular sugar cookies. Dehydrate 8 hours on 105 degrees until they reach desired crunch/chew.<br />
<br />
<b>Vanilla Cashew Cream Icing:</b><br />
<br />
1/2 C Cashews<br />
water<br />
1 T vanilla extract<br />
1 T coconut oil(optional, if you want the frosting to solidify better)<br />
liquid stevia/agave/raw sweetener of choice to taste<br />
<br />
Blend 'er up. This will make plenty. I piped it on to the cookies using a ziploc bag with a hole cut in it because I found it difficult to spread with a knife.<br />
<br />
Add a few dried cranberries to make them a really special treat!<br />
<br />

-a mix of 3 raw salads from the whole foods cold bar: raw corn salad, raw marinated veg. salad, raw kelp noodles salad<br />
<br />

Dinner:<br />
-1 yellow bell pepper<br />
-1 cup carrots<br />
-1 banana<br />
-1 Raw Revolution Chocolate Cashew bar<br />
<br />
I know the granola and Raw Revolution bar are sortof considered "raw junk food," but it's a hell of a lot better than regular junk food! I feel good. I am still drinking tea, but that also helps me get my h20 in. I'm listening to a podcast from Stave Pavlina's blog, where a raw good expert is saying we should eat fat all alone at the end of the day. Eat fruit all alone... I guess foods ferment in your tummy when you eat them in the wrong order/wrong combination of food.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-36759204872717303492010-10-23T13:18:00.000-07:002010-10-23T13:18:02.841-07:00RAW: DAY 1Breakfast<br />

This should be called the "Chocolate Covered-Keeps You Going All Day- Strawberry Smoothie"<br />
So as we all know, protein powders can be very pricey, especially if you want different flavors. While I normally roll with a big 2 pounder of <a href="http://www.sunwarrior.com/store/protein-raw-vegan-vanilla.html">Vanilla Sun Warrior</a>, I do get the occasional hankering for a chocolate smoothie. I don't have '<a href="http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/blogs/playlist/money%20large.jpg?1239964072">tha bread</a>' to keep both flavors around, so I just mosey on down to my local grocery store or health food store and pick up a few of the single serving packets of whatever sounds good in a chocolate flavor. I always go with something vegan and choose raw if at all possible. For today's CCSS, I went with <a href="http://www.amazinggrass.com/chocolate-green-superfood-powder.html">Amazing Grass's Superfood Chocolate Powder</a>, which has all sorts of nutrients and delicious things in it.<br />
<br />
Try it out!<br />
<br />
In the Mix:<br />
<br />
1 C frozen strawberries<br />
1 C water or almond milk or a mixture<br />
1 packet <a href="http://www.amazinggrass.com/chocolate-green-superfood-powder.html">Amazing Grass Superfood Chocolate Powder</a><br />
1 scoop <a href="http://www.sunwarrior.com/store/protein-raw-vegan-vanilla.html">Vanilla Sun Warrior</a><br />
1 banana<br />
1 T raw cacao powder<br />
Cacao nibs to taste<br />

Enter for your chance to win, <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2009/02/26/so-what-about-this-chocolate-giveaway/">HERE!</a> I've made many of her raw recipes, such as this deliciously decadent <a href="http://holaraw.blogspot.com/2010/08/raw-carrot-cake-with-kream-cheeze.html">Raw Carrot Cake</a>, which was amazing :)<br />
<br />
And since we're talkin' chocolate...I have recently been obsessed with chocolate smoothies! Especially the chocolate cherry bomb that has been floating around in blog land.<br />
Check it out, and keep in mind you don't need the hemp seeds if you don't have them, you can also substitute blueberries and I'm sure strawberries would be great too. I looove it with vanilla or chocolate sun warrior and some cacao nibs, which magically become tasty when you blend them with other stuff.<br />

So, I realized that most of my favorite blogs don't just post recipes they like, they post everything. Everything they eat, so they are accountable. So I'm going to give that a try the next few days. I won't have picture evidence of everything because I haven't got a point and shoot I can just throw in my purse, but I will definitely record it all and do my best to give visual aids.<br />
<br />
Breakfast Smoothie:<br />
1/2 a banana<br />
2 medium valencia oranges<br />
6 ice cubes<br />
1.5 scoops Sun Warrior<br />
1 C spinach<br />
<br />
Then I worked out with <a href="http://www.bodyrock.tv/">Zuzie</a>, a lovely czech girl who can really kick your ass, and polished off a half cup of chopped up pineapple :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://fruit4you.net.au/store/images/pineapple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://fruit4you.net.au/store/images/pineapple.jpg" width="108" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859118892074688687.post-73811241309012096802010-09-05T10:14:00.000-07:002010-09-05T10:14:07.113-07:00warrior of the sun!For months I pondered, tossed and turned, wondering 'why are <a href="http://www.fitnessista.com/">the fitnessista</a>'s <a href="http://fitnessista.com/2010/05/the-perfect-protein-pancake/">protein pancakes</a> so much better looking, and probably better tasting than mine? Why are my smoothies gritty, unattractive, and seem to be missing something? <b>Isn't there a better way to get my protein</b> than eating high-fat nuts and seeds all the time?<br />
<br />
And then, from heaven, the answer appeared:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sunfood.com/CatalogImages/zoom_Sun-Warrior-Protein-Vanilla-1Kg-2.2lbs-raw-GMO-free-vegan-1398.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.sunfood.com/CatalogImages/zoom_Sun-Warrior-Protein-Vanilla-1Kg-2.2lbs-raw-GMO-free-vegan-1398.jpg" width="229" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One scoop has just 70 calories, one gram of fat and 16 grams of protein! There isn't a psychotically long list of scary ingredients, the bulk of it is ancient sprouted brown rice. It's sweetened with stevia and totally raw and vegan! And the best part? It tastes delicious. In smoothies it makes everything taste like a milkshake. Today's smoothie was mango, banana baby red chard, a few chunks of papaya, and the sun warrior made it a dreamsicle! It improves the texture so much and tastes like a creamsicle :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I found sesame seeds to have quite impressive stats when it came to calcium, 30% of your daily recommended amount in 1 ounce compared to cow milks' measly 5%! So I thought I'd whip some up! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were a thicker cracker that turned out salty and delicious and tastier than my raw corn chips. I imagine there are a million variations of this recipe...you could add sundried tomatoes, greens, different spices or even omit the yeast and go for a sweeter, fruit sweetened cracker.</span><br />
