Raw Tacos? Yes please!!


I love vegan tacos. What's not love? I found myself craving some juicy tacos so I created a raw version that were deliciously satisfying. A nut-based pate with miso and onion and topped with salsa and black olives, there is also a side of avocado salad that I topped my taco with too.

Craving horchata? Use the almond milk recipe I provided and add some cinnamon too it and less water. VOILA! You have raw horchata.

Wondering what other non-raw yummies I can make raw....

Perfect Raw Breakfast and Green Smoothie recipe!

Another Chaco Canyon favorite! Raw porridge and the Really Green Smoothie. Probably the best breakfast I have ever put in my stomach. It was delicious and satisfying and green smoothies are THE BEST way to incorporate more greens into your diet because your body absorbs the nutrients faster in liquid form.

Here is a favorite green smoothie recipe!

1 frozen banana
3 or 4 big juicy organic strawberries
1 big juicy organic peach
3 leaves of organic kale pulled from the stem or a handful of organic spinach
1/2 to 1 cup of raw almond or hemp milk (hemp milk makes it thicker)

Blend together in a blender and enjoy! Makes 1 serving if this is your meal replacer.

NOTE:
Sometimes my fruit is juicy enough that I don't even need to add any milk, but use your discretion ;)

Stuffed Bell Pepper Surprise and again, more cobbler...

One night I had no idea what to have for dinner. So this is where the surprise comes in because I created a masterpiece! I was craving something stuffed, because let's face it, anything stuffed is delicious. So I picked up a couple of bell peppers for my friend Eliza and I, then massaged some kale with avocado, lemon, and garlic, and stuffed that sunuvabell pepper so good. Earlier, I had marinated some asparagus with an avocado dressing for a side, and to make this dinner even more spectacular I made a cilantro-based miso sauce to drizzle on top. How's that for not having anything prepared for the night??

And dessert...


Spiced Berry cobbler with peach cashew cream!
The cobbler recipe is under the mango cobbler post but the peach cashew cream recipe is below!

Peach Cashew Cream
-1/2 frozen peach
-1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked cashews make it creamier)
1/4 cup water

Blend together the cashews and water in food processor or blender then add the peach and you have peach cashew cream!

Easy peasy pie ;)
(coming soon haha)
