My Smoothie Tomorrow - Marks 1 Week Vegetarian

I also will be attempting to make this for my mother's visit this weekend. It looks so good.

Raw Cheesecake

2 cups macadamia nuts

1 1/2 cups cashews

1/2 cup pitted medjool dates

1/4 cup dried coconut (I used unsweetened of course)

6 tbs coconut oil (liquid)

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 raw agave nectar

1/2 of a sundried vanilla bean (I just used a regular vanilla bean…not sure if it was sundried or not)

3 cups mixed berries (I used blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries)

Place macadamia nuts and cashews in two seperate bowls. Cover each with cold water and soak for four hours. Rinse, drain, set aside.

Pulse the macadamia nuts and dates in the food processor to a sticky, crumb-like consistancy. Sprinkle dried coconut on the bottom of a 8 inch pie plate. Press macadamia nut mixture onto it, to form a crust.

Place cashews, lime juice, agave nectar, coconut oil and 6 tbs water in the food processor. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into the food processor. Puree until smooth and then pour onto crust. Freeze 1 to 2 hours, or until firm. Slice while frozen, but defrost on counter or in the fridge. Top with berries and enjoy! (*I think the mixing some of the berries into the cashew mixture could be neat as well, but I have not tried it!)

AND these sometime next week <3

Carrot Oat Bites (Raw Vegan)

13 servings, 65 Calories each

• 3 Pitted Medjool Dates
• 1/2 cup Walnuts
• 1/2 cup Oats
• 3 Small Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• Optional: 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (For coating)

Directions: In a food processor, grind oats and carrots. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except coconut) and process for a few seconds until it is a thick, sticky texture. Using a Tablespoon, measure and roll into balls. Then, if you would like to, roll them around in coconut. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.

Note: If you would like them sweeter, add more dates, agave or a few drops of stevia.

Sincerely,

Wendy
