I made a delicious raw peach cobbler for desert tonight. The kids loved it and so did I and it is oh so healthy.
Ingredients
2 peaches (chopped)
1 teaspoon raw coconut oil
4 teaspoons agave nectar (raw honey will also work)
2 dashes cinnamon
3 ounces raw walnuts
5 dates, pitted
Preparation
Peach filling: In food processor or Vita-Mix, mix peaches with coconut oil, 2 teaspoons agave nectar and a dash of cinnamon until smooth. Empty into bowl.
Crumb topping: In food processor, grind walnuts. Add dates, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons agave nectar. Grind again until crumbly. Put crumb mixture in bowl on top of peach filling.
I just thought I would share a recipe for a delicious smoothie I made this morning. My kids raved over it and demanded more and they were getting plenty of healthy stuff in it.
Tiffany’s Organic Kale, Carrot, and Flax Fruit Smoothie
1 cup homemade almond milk
1 cup water
2 medium Kale leaves
A handful (6) baby carrots
8 fresh strawberries
1 cup frozen berries (blueberry, raspberry, and marionberry)
1/4 cranberries
One half of a banana
2 tablespoons freshly ground flax seeds
Mix up in a blender (I use a Vita-Mix - and LOVE it!) and it makes enough for the whole family. The smoothie is a muddy orange color with flecks of green from the kale and flecks of red from the cranberries. You can sweeten if needed with honey. I used homemade almond milk to ensure that this recipe is completely raw but store bought almond milk will work too. Enjoy!
Recently Nicole commented on this post that she wanted me to post the recipe I used for the delicious organic Peanut Butter Carob Balls I described. So here it. I got it from one of my favorite books: The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood.
Peanut Butter Carob Balls (makes 30 small balls)
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 cup honey ( I used raw)
1/2 crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup oats
1/2 ground flax seed meal
Mix all ingredients together by hand. Form the batter into bite size balls and roll them in shredded coconut.
2 c. spelt flour or whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 c. grated carrots
1 c. skim milk, soy milk, or rice milk
1 1/2 c. applesauce
1 c. maple syrup,
1/2 c. crushed walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Grate the carrots and add along with the rest of the ingredients except for the walnuts to the flour mixture. Mix until “just mixed.” Mix in the walnuts.
Transfer to a greased 13×9x2 pan. Bake for 40-50 min at 350F until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Cool for 30 min and then frost with cream cheese frosting.
