Raw Banana Pancakes

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 banana
2 tablespoons coconut meal or dried coconut
cinnamon

Directions

Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl until very smooth. Add the coconut meal and some cinnamon to taste. Mix well.

Flatten the banana/coconut dough and make small pancakes of them

Leaf out in direct sunlight for about 1 hour, flip over and leaf for another hour. You may also use the dehydrator or oven. But then it will take longer to dry them.

They don't have to be dry, just on the outsides. They're so good anyway that they're usually gone before I want to serve them.

Tip

If you make them the night before, you can take them to go for breakfast in the morning.

Raw Carrot Juice

Serves 1

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots
1/2 lemon

Directions

Wash the lemon and cut most of the peel off. Juice the lemon and the carrots. Ready!

Tip

Personally, I like to scrape the carrots, because I don't like the earthy taste when I don't.

If I take this juice for breakfast, I feel so good the rest of the day. It gives me instant energy.

I also like to juice about a 1/2 bunch green leafy vegetables with the carrots for extra alkalizing minerals. Carrot greens, kale or lettuce are a good choice. Apples, celery and fennel also go well with carrot juice. If you're a beginner, start to add only one or two leafs of greens to make sure you still like it. Greens are an acquired taste and it may take some time for you to get use to.

Hemp & Berry Smoothie

Ingredients

1 banana
2 tablespoons hulled hemp seed
1 bag of frozen berries
1 cup pure water

Directions

Put all ingredients in a high speed blender. Add enough water so that all ingredients are covered. Blend well.

You may want to add a little more water if it's too thick. You may blend longer if you find it too cold.

Tip

This is such a yummy and easy breakfast recipe. This is the other breakfast my daughter loves, but we drink this for lunch too.

The hemp seeds provide good fats and super protein. Hemp seeds are the only seeds that have no enzyme inhibitor and therefore don't have to be soaked in water before eating.

If the berries are sour, you may add a few drops of (liquid) stevia to sweeten.

Raw Fudge

Raw Fudge

Yummy!

1 cup medjool dates and a vanilla bean cut into pieces
(soaked in just enough water to cover overnite to soften)
3/4 cup raw cashew butter
1 cup raw cacao powder
(peel and dehydrate cacao beans then grind up to a powder)
3/4 c. raw carob
1/2 c. raw mesquite
1 T. coconut oil
splash of agave nectar
pinch of salt

Blend all the ingredients in a powerful blender (I use a K-Tec) until it is a smooth batter. Line a glass baking dish with wax or parchment paper and pour on the batter. Freeze for a few hours, take out of freezer to cut into squares and put back into freezer. The next day its ready and kinda solid. It starts to get really gooey as it thaws so I just pull a piece out of the freezer when I want to eat one. Really yummy!

These are not exact measurements as I just tend to eyeball all the ingredients:

Raw Eggplant Pizza

Raw Eggplant Pizza

raw italian treat

peeled eggplant
sliced to about 1/2" slices but really a little thinner, as you don't want to take forever, or make too thin where it falls apart....give it your eye guess I suppose

On teflex sheet put your sliced eggplant..
on eggplant...drizzle olive oil

You can put the It. seasonings here now...

Then in any order: red/yellow peppers, diced or sliced, then olives, diced or sliced, fresh basil...(think fresh is a key so the other stuff you can fake, but not the "fresh" basil). Cut the basil up and sprinkled nicely on the top...then placed fresh slices off tomato on top with some more seasonings under it. Red pepper hot chili seeds or pinch cayenne for zing. Tomatoes for the moisture on top. Top after it comes out of dehydrator with a raw cheese (grated walnut)or even pine nuts ground and sprinkled on top. Why not? Use imagination as your creation evolves!

Place in dehydrator several hours (maybe 4) and when it gets soft I call it ready.

Whatever veggies you love put them on.

Nut Loaf

This is so tasty, meatloaf will pale in comparison! Filling too.

Two cups nuts (Any combination of one or more or all of these: Brazil Nuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pecans, Pine Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Walnuts, Hazelnuts)
Red pepper
Tomato
Garlic
Onions
Mushrooms
Whole Pine Nuts

1.Grind nuts in meat grinder.
2.Chop vegetables finely and steam for two minutes on low. (This is breaking the rule of raw a little but steaming on low for a minute or two you won't lose many nutrients).
3.Mix vegetables and ground nuts.
4.Put in baking pan and bake on low oven for two minutes to warm
5.Spread Tahini Sauce on top (Raw tahini, lemon juice, honey, and garlic)

Great cold on Manna Bread or Essene Bread, which are brands of unleavened (no yeast) bread. They are basically just cooked a minute or two on low so they are still full of life, as you can tell by how rich and filling they are compared to normal bread. There are all kinds of Manna bread, made from different combinations of nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, and fruit. A real delicacy with none of the dangers inherent in bread such as wheat, flour, eggs, butter and sugar, which all clog the body.
