Raw 5 Ingredient Twix Bars

Cravings gone!

Ingredients:

Base: 
6 tablespoons coconut flakes
4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or honey/maple syrup/agave)

Caramel: 10-12 soft dates, pitted

Coating:  Your favorite chocolate, I used my raw homemade one.

Directions:

Base: In a small bowl mix together the shortbread cookie ingredients. Press the dough into a small pan, ca. 1 cm high. Put in the fridge to set.

Caramel: Add the dates to a food processor and process until a paste is formed, scraping down the sides as needed. Spread the date caramel evenly over the cooled base and put in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Mounting the Twix: Cut into bars and coat with your favorite chocolate. Allow to set on a lined baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Potato Spinach Balls

That's the best way to make someone eat spinach, no kidding! Super crispy and crunchy balls.

For a gluten-free version, use GF breadcrumbs.

Spring Rolls for Dinner

Once again I decided to go for some spring rolls for dinner. They are far the best choice for you to add some raw food to your meals. Just add what you want and roll them!


Mine were vegan: lettuce, rice noodles, cucumber, carrots, red pepper and coriander.

Raw Chocolate Cake

There's nothing more satisfying than having people jaw-dropped when you say this thing was 100% raw. It was a hit at a friend's.


NOTE: since it had to "travel" to its destination inside the cake tin, I was a bit scared to move it too much for proper pictures...
