I'm still yet to research why is it that when one is stressed the only thing that just seems to make sense is to EAT something greasy or sweet... I personally run straight to the local bakery (which is unfortunately just a walking distance!
). But today I decided to research some "healthy treats" for my sweet tooth and found great recipes of "HEALTHY RAW SNACK!!"
... And ohhhhh man I am glad.. they are just mouthwatering!!! Here is one for you fellow sweet toothies
Berry Maca Pie
Base: 2 cups macadamia nuts,
1 cup almonds,
1 cup dates, soaked at least 30 minutes then drained,
1/2 cup desiccated coconut.
Place nuts and dates in food processor and blend until a sticky crumb like consistency. Sprinkle dried coconut on bottom of 8-inch pie pan with a removable base. Press macadamia nut mixture onto coconut.
Filling: 2 cups cashews, 6 tablespoons coconut oil (gently warmed), ¼ cup lime juice, ½ cup agave nectar or honey, 1 tablespoon vanilla essence, 6 tablespoons water.
2-3 cups mixed berries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour mixture onto base and freeze 1 to 2 hours, or until firm. Remove from freezer, slice while frozen, and transfer to serving platter. Defrost in fridge 1 hour or on countertop 30 minutes; top with berries; and serve.
Enjoy!!!
