Raw Strawberry Pie

Submitted by: Rosalie Parra

Crust:

2 cups of almonds or pecans

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 - 5 Medjool dates, pitted

pinch of sea salt

Blend together in food processor, spread and press evenly in a 9 inch pie plate coated with coconut oil.

Chill in freezer for 30 minutes before filling (I didn't and it came out wonderful in a glass pie plate)

Filling:

2 cups cashews soaked 1 - 2 hours

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup agave or honey

3/4 cup fresh strawberries

3/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla (or one bean)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Blend all together in food processor

Pour half the filling in pie crust - layer with fresh strawberries and then add remaining filling. Place in freezer for 1 - 2 hours until firm.

Decorate the top with sliced strawberries. This pie needs to be kept in refrigerator to keep it's firmness.

Enjoy!

Power Bars

   

    My friend was staying at our house one time and for dessert she made these Power Bars. Oh My Goodness! They are amazing! They taste like Reese's peanut butter cups (except much healthier and a whole bunch better). I had the recipe on hand and we made them during our 21 days Raw. Now, the recipe calls for Peanut butter and maple syrup (both of which are cooked). So the first time we made them we took raw peanuts that we had, ground them up in the food processor, and just used that. In place of the syrup we used honey and maple flavoring. They were pretty good, but not really the same. If you are looking to go completely Raw, you could do it that way, but I just made it how the recipe calls for and had it as a treat.


Ingredients

Bottom
1/3 C. Almond meal
1/2 C. Coconut Oil
2 T. Honey
1/2 C. Peanut butter

Top
3 T. Cocoa powder
1 T Honey
1/2 C. Coconut oil
1/4 C. Syrup

Directions
Blend "bottom" ingredients in food processor until smooth. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan and chill till solid. Once it is solid, prepare the "top" and pour that on. Chill and serve.

Raw Blueberry Pie

    We just made this recipe the other night and it was amazing! Blueberries are very delicious and the nutty crust compliments them wonderfully.

             Crust 

• 1 C Walnuts
• 1/2 C Soaked almonds or pecans
• 1/2 C Dates
• 1/2 C Coconut
• 1/2 t. Pumpkin Spice

            Filling

• 5-6 C blueberries
• 1 T Lemon juice
• 1/2 C Orange juice
• 4 T Psyllium
• 1/2 C. Coconut
• 1/4 Dates
• Honey to taste
• 1 t. Cinnomon 

 Directions

    For crust process first two ingredients well. Add the dates and process. Add remaining two ingredients and process. Press into a lightly greases pie pan and set aside.

For filling, process 1 C of berries with the rest of the ingredients, except for the dates. Add the dates one at a time. Hand mix the rest of the berries. Pour the filling into the crust and top with shredded coconut. Chill and serve!

A slight variation that would also work (this is what we did) is to use 2 C. fresh blueberries and the rest frozen. If you try this I would love to hear your comments on it, Enjoy!
