Raw Cupcake recipe!!

Many thanks to 'choosing raw' for the images and recipe.

I haven't tried this yet but planning to do so soon. Then you'll see my own comments on this and images

Ingredients for the Carrot Base:

Food Processor 

Cupcake Holders/Fillers 

Approximately 2-3 Cups of Shredded Carrots (Food Processed)

1.5 Cups (According to You) of Fresh Dates 

Half Cup of Walnuts (Less if You Want Lower Fat) 

Cinnamon

Fresh Slice of Ginger

Dash of Turmeric  

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture reaches the consistency that you want. I like mine gooey, so I let the machine run for longer. Most will want more of a "bread" type consistency, so don't let it go for too long as to get the proper texture. 

Press this mixture into the cupcake liners and refrigerate. Get ready to make your frosting!

For the Orange Vanilla Créme Frosting:

Approximately 2 Cups Soaked Cashews

1 Cups Pitted Dates 

Small Stem or Scrape of Fresh Vanilla 

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice from 2-4 Oranges 

Blend in a Vitamix or powerful blender. This is VERY thick and creamy and may take a while to get perfect!

Creamy green Persimmon Smoothie - super delicious -super healthy

            

                                        

 

This smoothie is great for breakfast, an afternoon snack or if you feel like something creamy and sweet anytime.

What I love about mixing bananas and avocados in a smoothie is, that the smoothie gets perfectly creamy! It's the perfect mix! The sweetness  of the banana and its texture complements perfectly with that of an avo. Just heavenly.

This time I've added Persimmon I bought at borough markets. I love persimmons. Try them if you don't know them! They also make excellent Sorbet. You can do that with the blender too. I will post a recipe for that soon.

     

It's a healthy food combination too as avo and bananas can be put together without problems. Read this post about optimal food combinations for your health. You can add nut milks as it's neutral, although it won't need it.
I prefer this smoothie without.
Don't add any proteins to this mixture (like protein powders or whole nuts or seeds) as Persimmon is a fruit and fruit should not be eaten with anything other than fruit or greens. If that confuses you, read my post about food combining.
Both banana and Avo are exemptions and also count as fruit. This is why this combo is fine.

For my Persimmon super power smoothie, one glass of it you'll need:

- 1 big beautiful glass

- half a cup of filtered water

- half small avo

- some staranise and clove if you like.. or nutmeg (I like their flavours and cloves are one of the highest antioxidant foods out there! Be careful with them as they are super bitter. Make sure you grind them well)

- 1 Persimmon

- some spirulina (not too much here again, as Spirulina does not taste great!)

- Baby spinach

- a little Himalayan pink Salt

- half frozen banana (I use a frozen Banana as I like to keep the temperature of the smoothie down. Instead of the frozen banana you can always use a normal banana and use ice instead of the water mentioned above)

Start with the water(or ice), star anise and clove, spinach, frozen banana put everything into the blender start low speed and end up with high speed, add the rest of the ingredients.

Pour into your glass when everything is perfectly blended and smooth.

Enjoy.

It's soo yummy !
