Raw Coconut Milk
Raw coconut milk is easy to make simply by opening young coconuts and blending the natural coconut water with the coconut meat. It is a fantastic, tasty and nutritious replacement for dairy in many recipes from Raw Dairy-Free Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream to Mixed Vegetable Curry with Brown Basmati Rice. Young coconuts are found in most health food stores and Asian markets. If your grocer doesn’t carry them yet, ask them to because we have a ton of recipes that use these babies. Read more…
Raw Vanilla Agave Nectar
When I open a vanilla bean, I like to use the pod once the seeds are removed. The vanilla pod is still incredibly fragrant and makes a simple, delicious raw vanilla agave. Of course, you can use a fresh cut pod, with seeds too, for even more intense vanilla flavor.
Use your raw vanilla agave nectar in Rooibos Tea, Raw Hot Chocolate, Raw Dairy-Free Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream or any other recipe that would benefit from a hint of natural vanilla sweetness. Make sure to purchase your vanilla agave from a trusted source to make sure it is a high quality, raw product. Sadly, there are quite a few companies out there selling fraudulent, low-quality agave under the guise of “healthy.”
Red Leaf and Candied Walnut Salad
This is one of my favorite simple salads. I make preparation easier for myself by always keeping a batch of Raw Candied Walnuts stored in a glass jar in my pantry. Chlorophyll-rich, dark Red Leaf Romaine lettuce and fresh, organic sunflower sprouts pair well with hemp seeds and our vinaigrette dressing that uses the tasty and nutritionally power-packed Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend.
Banana Hemp Protein Bars
These bars use the banana and nut base from the Amaranth Hemp Protein Poppers recipe. They are a delicious, protein-filled bar to keep with you in your kitchen, office, handbag or car so when hunger hits, you have a healthy option ready for you. You can individually wrap them in parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in your fridge or freezer. They are also a great post-workout snack. Read more…

Raw Hot Chocolate with Cream and Hot Fudge
I came up with this recipe on Christmas Day, and while I got “fancy” with it—making a Cashew Macadamia Cream and Hot Fudge Drizzle for the top—I know it would be just as tasty without those extras if you would prefer a simple mug of Raw Hot Chocolate. Try a batch with cinnamon, cayenne, fresh mint, nutmeg or vanilla. Experiment and make it yours. Read more…
Raw Dairy-Free Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream
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, beneficial (yes, good for you) fats and natural sugars. While I recommend an ice cream maker for proper aeration, you don’t need an ice cream maker to enjoy this super creamy recipe. Read more…
