Raw Vegan fruity crumble
...what a treat! 
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup organic walnuts
  • 1/2 cup organic almonds
  • 5-8 medjool dates (soaked for 5-10 minutes)
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of pink himalayan sea salt
  • ANY FRUIT OF YOUR CHOICE - Chopped Bananas, diced apples, berries or sweet another fruit!
Instructions: Put soaked dates in the food processor once they become soft. Pulse your dates until they are a fine consistency, in very small little chunks. Take your date mixture and place in a bowl. Add your walnuts & almonds and pulse again in the food processor until you have very finely ground chunks. Pour your nut mixture over the dates and massage together. Create a nice crumble texture. 
Slice your fruit of choice and place them in a bowl, take your crumble and sprinkle generously over your peaches or fruit of choice. If you like, you can sprinkle on a bit of himalayan salt and a tsp. of grade B maple syrup or raw honey to finish. Serve and enjoy immediately.
TIP! You can store the crumble in the fridge for up to a week and you can slice your organic fresh fruit in the moment to make a crumble any time.

Enjoy your BEETS :)


The amazing benefits of Beet Juice... Traditionally, people use beet juice to heal: anemia, liver, skin, kidneys, lymphatic circulation, tiredness, eye, liver, skin problems, detoxification, cancer. Beet juice may kill fungi, is a strong antioxidant and has anti inflammatory properties. 

Beet Facts


  • Beet juice may cause both your stool and urine to turn red.
     Don't be surprised if this happens!
  • Beet juice benefits are very powerful. 
    You only need a little bit of juice to get the benefits. 
  • Drink the juice raw because the most beneficial substances (like betalains) are lost when cooked. 
    In addition, the oxalic acid in the beet becomes harmful when cooked, but is (in moderation) beneficial when raw(according to juice and nutrition experts Dr Walker, David Wolfe and Gabriel Cousins).
  • Juice the whole beets: roots plus greens. 
    The greens contain most of the healthy minerals and vitamins. 

    P.S 
    A sweet Beet Juice Recipe
    makes about 20 oz of juice depending on juicer and produce size
    • 2 beets
    • 1 large carrot or 2 medium carrots
    • 1/2 a green apple
    • 1/2 cucumber
    • 3 celery stalks
    • 1 small piece of ginger
