Raw Desserts
For some of you, avocado pudding is probably old news, but for others of you, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Avocado creates a silken texture that you have to taste to believe (and I promise you won’t notice any avocado flavor). Unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder can be used instead of cacao powder, and
1/3 cup maple syrup or coconut nectar can be used in place of dates, just reduce or omit the water. From Practically Raw Desserts ©2013 by Amber Shea Crawley. Used by permission from Vegan Heritage Press. Read More→

This dessert is easier and faster to make than an apple pie or apple crisp, and it requires no baking. Instead of refined sugars, this recipe uses dates for sweetness and lemon juice and nutmeg for that extra zing. Bonus: it’s mostly raw as well as soy-free, oil-free, wheat-free, and gluten-free.Courtesy of Colleen Patrick Goudreau’s 30-Day Vegan Challenge. Read More→

I originally developed these bars for a cooking class on bone health. Almost every ingredient here is high in calcium, resulting in a bar that delivers about 12% of this mineral’s daily requirement for women. They’re also high in protein and work as a great energy bar. I often carry these in the car with me for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Recipe and photo courtesy of Ricki Heller, from Sweet Freedom. Read More→
