Raw Apple Crisp

Looking for a quick sweet snack or dessert?



Raw Apple Crisp


1 apple, sliced
Agave or honey to taste
Cinnamon
Oats

Arrange your apple slices in a bowl. Drizzle the agave or honey and sprinkle cinnamon. Mix to coat your apples. Add in a handful of oats and mix. Enjoy!

This doesn't taste like the cooked version but is just as tasty, and just think: you're getting all the nutrients out of your food instead of cooking them away! Plus there is no sugar, just honey or agave, yet it tastes just as sweet since the apples are raw and so sweet and juicy. :)

Day 1- Super Waldorf Salad

Today I created a definite raw food winner! It looked so beautiful with all the colors, & almost radiated positive energy before I even took a bite. Of course, the taste didn't disappoint & I have a feeling this will become a weekly standard.


Super Waldorf Salad


Ingredients: 
Organic spinach
Organic romaine hearts
Organic apple, chopped
Organic carrot, grated
Raw walnuts
Organic, Raw Hemp seeds
Dried Cranberries
Green bell pepper
Lemon juice
A touch of organic Raspberry Viniagrette 

First I placed a handful of spinach on a plate, followed by a handful of chopped romaine hearts. I combined the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl and mixed well. Then I topped the greens with the "waldorf" mixture. Pretty easy!

The superfoods in this salad (hemp seeds & spinach) make this Super Waldorf Salad. :)

From my reading so far, I have found that hemp seeds are a great addition to salads, smoothies, etc, because they have a high amount of protein (10 grams per 3 Tbsp). They are very soft seeds and taste great too! You can find them in a health food store.

This was a very delicious & filling dinner!
