Raw vegan recipes

I had a lot of mis-haps, but also a few successes.

Here are a few of my favorite concoctions. Click on the images for a larger view.

	Dark Morning Wonder It was worth going raw vegan just to discover this morning treat: – 1 cup almond milk – 1/2 cup coconut water – 1 banana – 1 fat Tbspn of raw cacao powder – 1/2 to 1 Tbspn spirulina – 1 Tbspn raw unfiltered honey Mix and match the extras (I’ve tried all these, all good): 1 cup blueberries or one pitted peach, 1 raw egg or 1 Tbsp raw hemp seeds, 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil or 1 Tbsp extra virgin oil. Tell it you love it and let sit in the fridge overnight. OMG! Like chocolate mousse for breakfast —————————————————————-
	Apple pie for breakfast (without the pie) Variation on the theme above. Another breakfast worth getting up for: – 1 cup almond milk – 1/2 cup coconut water or raw apple juice – 1 banana – 1 apple, skin and all – 1 fat tsp cinnamon – 1 dash of vanilla extract Mix and match the extras: 1 Tbsp raw hemp seeds, 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil. Tell it you love it and let sit in the fridge overnight. You’ll need a spoon to “drink” this one. —————————————————————-
	Homage to the Green Goddess I packed this one for work. Lunch break can now be taken while walking through the woods. – 2 cups coconut water – 1 cup kale – 1 cup spinach – 1/2 avocado or 1 banana – 1 tsp spirulina – 1/2 lemon, skin and all – as many mint leaves as the plant is willing to let you have —————————————————————-
	Cloudy Cucumber I packed this one on a hike. It confused my hiking partner’s dog – no sandwich to lust after. – 1 cup kombucha (homemade!) – 1 cup filtered water – 1 cup spinach – 1 cucumber, skin and all – 1/2 avocado or 1 banana – a handful of parsley – as many mint leaves as the plant is willing to let you have Note: I also tried this one with chard … not so great. —————————————————————-
	Sprouted mung beans hummus These are my pride and joy. Sprout the beans: – 1 cup whole green mung beans + 3 cup water, let sit overnight. – In the morning, drain the water, say hello to the beans, and place a wet cloth on top – That evening, see that the sprouts are ~ 1/4 of an inch. Make the hummus: In your roommate’s blender place – 2 cups raw sprouted beans – 2 fat Tbsp tahini – 2 fat Tbsp extra virgin oil – 2 large garlic cloves – 2 medium lemons, juiced – 1/4 pure loved water – 1 tsp cumin – 2 tsp coriander – 1 dash of cayenne pepper – Himalayan salt as you like Options: replace the cumin with turmeric. The far one was made with turmeric, and as you can tell, half of it couldn’t wait for the photo. 1 cup dry mung beans makes 4 cups hummus. —————————————————————-
