<span style="color: #333333;">Hi again! You may have been wondering why I haven't been uploading anything for a while. Well I was figuring out what to do next and working on some new projects. I was not sure if I want to continue with this blog, but I came to conclusion that I'm not going to give it up. I love creating raw vegan recipes and I always will, so why not to share them. I'll be active on my new blog </span><a href="http://www.kristinaladecka.com/"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">kristinaladecka.com</span></a><span style="color: #333333;"> too and share more of myself, my fitness progress and my diet, lifestyle and design tips. This blog however will be all about diet and recipes. Hope you'll like both of my blogs!</span></div>

<i style="color: #999999;">Zdravím priatelia! Možno ste uvažovali prečo som už nejakú dobu nezdieľala žiadne recepty. Tento čas som využla na prácu na mojich nových projektoch a snažila sa prisť na to čo ďalej. Nebola som si istá či chcem pokračovať s týmto blogom, no prišla som na to, že sa ho nemienim vzdať. Milujem tvorenie raw vegan receptov a vždy budem tak prečo sa o ne s vami nepodeliť.

March is approaching us and I'm unbelievably busy. Spring is the busiest time for me since I usually have plenty of exams and new projects. However I'm super thrilled that summer is slowly coming and I'm already looking forward to the seasonal fruits! Cherries, blueberries, raspberries and all other kinds of berries! I really believe I'm an berryholic. Too bad they're so expensive in winter.</div>

I finally got a dehydrator. It's been almost a year since I started with this blog and yes, I didn't have a dehydrator till now. I believe that dehydrated foods are not as valuable for our health as fresh organic fruits and vegetables and that's why I didn't consider dehydrator as "must have" for me. I bought it eventually for two reasons - pizza and crêpes! Crêpes used to be my favorite dish and couldn't wait to try my own raw vegan ones. I wanted to make it a little more original so I used blueberries in the batter and it turned super delicious!</div>

Winter is soon over and I'm looking forward to new season! Even tough I love winter and I'm enjoying every day, the feel of spring coming, nature waking up and sun warming my face is beautiful. Before you say goodbye to winter, try this warming, juicy salad with fennel, orange, papaya and raspberry sauce! Yumm!</div>

Predtým než sa nadobro rozlúčite so zimou, vyskúšajte tento zahrievajúci, sťavnatý šalát s feniklom, pomarančom, papájou a malinovou omáčkou! Mňam!</i></span></div>

If you never tried the combination of fennel and fresh fruits, I recommend you to give it a shot. Fennel slightly spices the fruit salad and gives it an interesting taste. Raspberry sauce and carambola as decoration make it all a little more festive. Maybe a romantic Valentine's day dinner? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #999999;">// Ak ste ešte nevyskúšali kombináciu feniklu a čerstvého ovocia, odporúčam vám vyskúšať to. Fenikel jemne okorení ovocný šalát a dá mu zaujímavú príchuť. Malinová omáčka a karambola ako ozdoba tomu dodá slávnostnejší nádých. Žeby romantická valentínska večera? </span></i></div>

This gorgeous cake was a great success! I made it twice, ones for my boyfriends family for Christmas and ones for our friends that got engaged recently, so we wanted to congratulate them. I planned to make the cake again after Christmas since the pictures didn't turn well and this was a great occasion for such a fancy cake. It was the best chocolate cake I ever tasted, so creamy, sweet and decadent! The combo of levander, coconut cream, chocolate and vanilla was one tasty delight. I absolutely recommend this recipe for any occasion, share it with your friends and they will love you!</div>

I've been very busy since beginning of the new year and this is my very first post in 2014. I decided to make a small change on my blog as a New Years resolution which I hope will please my slovak/czech readers - since now on I'll be adding slovak translations. So even those in Slovakia and Czech Republic who don't speak english and are interested in raw vegan food and life style will be able to read my posts and recipes. I got a lot of mails asking me to write in slovak and since I have a lot of slovak/czech followers I realized I should do the translations. </div>

Rozhodla som sa urobit malú zmenu na blogu ako novoročné predsavzatie, ktoré dúfam poteší mojich slovenkých a českých čitateľov - od teraz budem na blog pridávať aj slovenské preklady. Takže aj tí zo Slovenska a Česka, ktorí nehovoria anglicky a zaujímajú sa o raw vegan stravu a životný štýl budú môcť čítať moje posty a recepty. Dostala som mnoho správ a žiadostí o to abz som písala aj po slovensky a keďže mnoho mojich čitateľov sú aj slováci a česi, uvedomila som si, že by som skutočne mala robiť aj slovenské preklady. </i></span></div>

I chose to write in english because of many reasons, one of them is that even though I was raised in Slovakia, I now live in Sweden and see my future here, speak the language, study their schools and want to start my career here, not in Slovakia. So it is very important to me to get also swedish readers. I didn't want to spend my time writing in three languages so I chose english as an international language. Doing only slovak or only swedish translations didn't feel right. But I'm starting a new blog that I decided to write in swedish and english, so this blog will be in english and slovak. I'm glad I sorted this out and I can share all my recipes and thoughts with all my slovak/czech and even swedish friends and family and still be international.</div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><i>Rozhodla som sa písať blog po anglicky z mnohých dôvodov, jeden z nich je aj to, že napriek tomu, že som narodená na Slovensku, momentálne žijem vo Švédsku, kde vidím svoju budúcnosť, hovorím ich jayzkom, študujem na ich školách a svoju kariéru chcem začať tu, nie na Slovensku. Takže je pre mňa skutočne dôležité mať aj švédskych čitateľov. Nechcela som tráviť svoj čas prekladaním do troch rôznych jayzkov a tak som sa rozhodla pre angličtinu keďže je to medzinárodný jazyk. Prekladať iba do slovenčiny alebo len do švédčiny sa mi nezdalo správne. No rozbieham nový blog, ktorý som sa rozhodla písať vo švédčine a angličtine, takže tento blog bude v angličtine a slovenčine. Som rada, že som tento problém konečne vyriešila a že môžem zdieľať svoje recepty a myšlienky so všetkými mojimi slovenskými, českými aj švédskymi priateľmi a rodinou a zároveň ostať v rovine medzinárodnosti.</i></span></div>

<h3>
<i>Raw Chocolate Levander Cake with Whipped Coconut Cream</i></h3>
<div>
<i>makes 1 9-inch cake</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Crust:</div>
<div>
2 cups coconut pulp waste from raw coconut cream (recipe bellow) or almond flour</div>
<div>
2 cups dates, pitted</div>
<div>
1/2 vanilla stalk</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chocolate cream:</div>
<div>
4 - 5 big avocados </div>
<div>
1 ripe banana</div>
<div>
1 1/2 cup dates, pitted</div>
<div>
1/3 cup raw cocoa powder or raw carob powder<br />
1/2 vanilla stalk</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Raw coconut cream:</div>
<div>
3 big coconuts with hard shell</div>
<div>
5 cups water or more if needed</div>
<div>
nut milk bag</div>
<div>
1/2 tsp pure vanilla powder</div>
<div>
3 Tbsp raw honey or other raw sweetener of your choice</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Garnish: </div>
<div>
3 Tbsp dried lavender flowers</div>
<div>
3 fresh figs, sliced</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9-inch sprigform </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the raw coconut cream: Crack the coconuts and remove the coconut meat. Cut into small pieces and blend in a high speed blender along with the water. Blend well and if too thick, add more water. Using nut milk bag, separate the the coconut milk from the pulp and squeeze well into a bowl so the pulp gets dry enough. Place the milk in the fridge and wait until the cream settles on the top (this can take a few hours so the best is to prepare the cream day ahead). Then spoon it into another bowl and whip with vanilla powder and honey. Place in the fridge. </div>
<div>
For the crust: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until you get dough like mixture. Line your springform with a nonstick sheet and press the dough in to create a crust.</div>
<div>
For the chocolate cream: Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the springform and top with the coconut cream. Place in the freezer to set until firm, for about 3 hours. Then remove the springform and decorate your cake with lavender flowers and figs.</div>

Christmas is a time of love, happiness, thoughtfulness.. but for most of us, it's just time of stress, spending money, overeating and drinking. Forget the money, forget the food and alcohol and just spend time with your family and friends, love and share, enjoy the holidays. Make small things to please you r beloved ones, prepare some healthy sweets, bowl of fresh fruits or something that will make them smile. Christmas shouldn't be about money, it should be about showing love and gratitude.</div>

If you feel stressed and overwhelmed, just stop right there in the middle of what you're doing. Stop and sit down, clear your mind and enjoy yourself. Nothing is more important then your health and as we know, stress is not good for us. So don't let the holidays to make you going crazy over a spoiled pie or christmas dinner, smile and forget. People that care about you will always enjoy your spoiled pie. </div>

Couple of mushrooms, bed of green salad, some seasoning and a festive dinner is ready. It's that simple. I hear often that preparing raw vegan dishes is too difficult and takes way too much time. But really, how much time does it take to make a bowl of fresh salad? Making raw desserts may need some practise, but as soon as you get on the track you'll find it much easier then actual baking, believe me.</div>

There are a lot of traditions in Sweden linked to food, especially around holidays. One of them is eating Lucia saffron buns or in swedish Lussebullar on 13th december. My boyfriend enjoys this tradition very much even though he doesn't use to eat bread and baked goods, so I decided to make a raw twist on this traditional swedish recipe. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Saffron is a spice loaded with vitamins like vitamin C, magnesium, iron, potassium and vitamin B6. These relate to the body for blood sugar regulation, calcium absorption and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as the healthy formation of tissues, bones and sex hormones. Vitamin C fights infection, iron purifies the blood and potassium helps balance fluids in the cells. </span></div>

If you didn't decide what to make as Thanksgiving dessert yet, these little pumpkin tartlets would do a great choice! They're sweet, dairy, gluten and sugar free and absolutely delicious. I always said that raw desserts are so much better and tastier then baked desserts and as raw vegan, you won't miss anything during the holidays. You can enjoy sweetness and deliciousness of holidays even the healthy way.</div>

They're easy to make and you can even use decorative paper tart cups to make them look even more festive. To make the star on the top can be a little tricky, but not impossible. You need to just slice the carambola (or star fruit) thin, cut slits in the the star and put them together. I wish you all the best Thanksgiving!<br />

I don't know how about you, but to me, smell of fresh ground coffee is smell of sunny mornings. I didn't use to drink much coffee in my old days, but I always loved candy and cakes with coffee taste. I wanted to create some healthy raw dessert with mocca taste and I found out that mesquite powder adds similar taste to mocca taste to deserts. </div>

Have you ever tried mesquite powder? Mesquite, also known as algorroba, is a leguminous plant found in arid parts of South America. Mesquite is high in protein, low on the glycemic index, and a good source of soluble fiber, meaning it digests relatively slowly and does not cause spikes in blood sugar. This gluten free powder is also a good source of calcium, iron, lysine, manganese, zinc and potassium. </div>

I made this beautiful cake for my family when I was at my moms place in northern Sweden and we all loved it. I loved that time spent with them, not only because I had finally someone to make food for, but also because Zuzana, girlfriend of my brother and my great friend was helping and inspiring me. She has huge interest in raw food and it's always very inspiring when people show you interest, ask and want to help. I wish you all have as great support in your diet from your family as I have!</div>

I spent last week in northern Sweden in Sundsvall with my family. My mom moved there a year goo and since then I went to visit her couple of times. It's very beautiful place and I was very excited to see her and my brother with his girlfriend that came from Prague to enjoy our cozy swedish autumn with us. </div>

Best thing about this family meeting was that I had somebody to make food for! Every day they ate raw dishes with me. I can't even describe how wonderful it is to have a family that supports me so much in something that most people would only criticise and dislike me for. People don't like anything that is different from what they're used to and especially, they don't like hearing they may do something wrong. I'm very lucky to have a family that understands me and join me in my healthy life style.</div>

My mom and my brothers girlfriend even eat high raw diet. My mom loves all kinds of fresh juices, smoothies and raw milkshakes and drinks them daily. I don't use to make nut milks so often since I thrive more on low fat diet, but she made this Goji Hemp Milkshake and I had to admit that once in a while it's very refreshing, tasty cocktail and I decided to share it with you. It's creamy taste with mild sourness of raspberries and sweetness of goji berries will make you feel cozy and satisfied.</div>

Do you like sweet breakfast? I always crave sweet fruits on the mornings after I wake up. Banana is a great start of a new day. Paired with blackberry and figs brings the morning to another level. Sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg and a beautiful raw creation is served. </div>

When I was little, my grandmother had all kinds of fruits, berries and vegetables in her garden. I remember feeding my dog with blackberries, he loved them! Fresh blackberries were always my favourite kind of berries. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes I really miss the times spent in my grandmothers garden eating real, organic food without realizing how important and nourishing it is for my body. Now I live thousands of miles far from my grandmothers place, in an apartment and to get organic produce is really not that easy anymore. </span><br />

Many taco recipes use walnuts for the "meat" taste. I decided to make a low fat version using small amount of walnuts, portabello mushrooms, garlic, pinch of cumin and splash of tamari. I got my boyfriend to taste it, since I don't have so much experiences with non vegan version of tacos and he approved the taste and said, that he wouldn't notice it's not meat. I myself, was also very satisfied with the taste and I can't wait to make these great tacos again.</div>

I always try to make my recipes tasty not only for vegans, raw vegans or vegetarians but also for those eat eat dairy and meat. That's my biggest goal with my recipes. Making food that is healthy, nutritious and so delicious, that you forget about junk food for ever. Who needs unhealthy food when there are easy ways to prepare nutritious, colourful and fresh food every day.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes, it takes me only couple of minutes to prepare my food. I heard people saying that raw food diet requires a lot of time. Really? I can make a raw vegan cheese cake in half an hour. That you need to dehydrate food for hours? How many times did I upload recipe that required dehydrator? Maybe once. You don't need any dehydrator to eat raw and dehydrating doesn't actually take your time. You can turn on your dehydrator before going to sleep and on the next morning you get fresh made granola or dehydrated fruits for breakfast. Eating healthy is easier then you think!</span><br />

Today is World Vegetarian Day and funny fact about that is that I decided to go vegetarian two years ago in october. I didn't know back then that there was any vegetarian day though. I announced my decision to my family and friends and one friend of mine said, that I won't keep it longer then 4 months. I said, you'll see. That was my first step on the way to start eating healthy and get fit. And it was the easiest step. Giving up dairy and candy was my biggest struggle, but I soon discovered that fruits are even better then candy!</div>

I wanted to come up with some nut and oil free dessert recipe and decided to go for pineapple. I wanted it to be a little more interesting so I marinated it in orange juice with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. I loved it! I allowed it to marinate for couple of hours and the pineapple got completely new, spicy taste. I paired the pineapple with sweet taste of figs and sourness of raspberries.</div>

I'm definitely going to make this dessert again soon. It tastes so sinful, even though it is so low in calories and doesn't contain any added fats or processed sugar. You don't need anything unhealthy to satisfy your hunger for sweets, fruits provide the best source of natural sugars and with a little creativity, you can turn them into delicious, eye catching desserts.</div>

Raw nut cheese is something incredibly tasty. I used to love classic cheese, but I could never even imagine that vegan nut alternative for cheese is so full of taste. However, even though nut cheese is vegan, it's still loaded with fats and it doesn't appear on my plate often. This pine nut cheese and basil sauce is exception though, since it's completely oil free and low fat.</div>

If you eat strictly raw vegan diet, you may be tired of your daily salad sometimes. That's the time for something savoury and a little bit fancy. I always loved classic pasta, but nothing beats raw zucchini pasta. It's not only organic, grain and gluten free, but also very tasty and addictive. I wish there was zucchini pasta in every restaurant. </div>

There is so many ways how to prepare zucchini pasta that you can never get tired of it. I will be sharing all my ideas for this dish, as well as for some more savoury recipes and fruit dishes. Lately I have cravings for tropical fruits, so you can expect some recipe including pineapple or mango. Hope you like this recipe and feel free to contact me with some ideas or notes!</div>

It's been pretty busy friday, so I almost didn't get to write this post. I spent all day out in town and now it's so beautiful autumn weather that I can't wait until I get outside again. It's truly pleasant weather here in Sweden, not too cold, not too hot anymore and sun is shining almost every day. Hope you all enjoy this time of year, where ever in the world you are right now.<br />

The parfait you see on the pictures is a surprise I made for my boyfriend once. He got me an ice cream maker for my birthday and I was so excited to try it! He knew I wanted one very much. I had an idea of tropical ice cream combined with some kind of herb. The sage won. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Sweet, creamy and a bit spicy. </div>

But don't be worried, even if you don't have an ice cream maker, you can easily make this recipe by simply using frozen fruits. Just freeze the ingredients the night before you want to make the parfait or buy it already frozen. It's such refreshing dessert. I know I promised to share more savoury recipes but I'm one fruity girl, it's not easy to switch to more vegetables. Usually I just eat bowl of plain salad and have another portion of fruits. But I've got many recipe ideas so I will soon upload a lot of great, savoury recipes.</div>

The Summer is over and I can't think of better way of saying goodbye than having sweet summer treat. And what says summer more then beautiful, juicy strawberries? I hope you all had as great summer time as I had. We had so nice weather here in Sweden that I spent most of my free time outside, suntanning, swimming in the ocean on the west coast of Sweden where I spent my vacation or roller skating, which is my favourite cardio exercise. </div>

My gym was rebuilding almost all summer so I didn't work out for while. Now I'm starting with new work out plan with new equipment in rebuilt interiors so I'm pretty exited. Now when it's getting colder I'll be exercising more indoor; swimming, yoga and strength work out. Healthy diet is of course very important and that's why I will continue to share with you my tasty, low fat creations as always. I will also share more savoury recipes since I have so much ideas and since I can't eat so many sweets if I want to get in form.</div>

I already mentioned that my favourite summer fruits are cherries. I often eat a large bowl of them, just as they are, as lunch, dinner or snack. I enjoy them so much that I wanted to include them in some dessert recipe and idea of combination with raw cocoa sounded just great to my ears. </div>

I know that there are many rawfoodists that claim that cocoa is stimulant, contains caffein and shouldn't be eaten. But it also contains lots of antioxidants, vitamins, healthy fats and protein. Eating in moderation shouldn't be harmful then. I use raw cocoa powder in occasional recipes and I enjoy it every time. Cocoa is not my daily treat though. </div>

If you're concerned about using cocoa in your recipes, you can always substitute it with raw carob powder, also very valuable and nutritious food. I tried carob in many recipes and despite it's interesting cocoa like taste, I still prefer taste of real raw cocoa powder. In combination with cherries, it's real sweet treat! Perfect for sharing with your loved ones.</div>

There are many ways how to prepare raw vegan sushi. Some of them are super far from the taste of real sushi and some of them are pretty close. I consider myself to be so called sushi lover, even though I fell in love with sushi after I went vegan. I never missed the fish though. Therefore I was very critical to raw sushi recipes and tried to create the ultimate raw vegan sushi, that would enjoy every lover of sushi.</div>

Many recipes out there use cauliflower, quinoa or buckwheat. These alternatives didn't taste like sushi to me at all. Then I tried the parsnip sushi and I fell in love with it! I enjoy it so much more then rice sushi that was always too heavy for my stomach. Parsnip sushi is light, juicy and you can eat as many pieces as you want.<br />

So don't wait any longer, purchase a bamboo mat, sushi sticks and let's trow some raw sushi party. You can fill your sushi with anything you want. I used avocado, carrots, portabello mushrooms and arugula. I also recommend you to try to fill your sushi with sweet potato, bell pepper, alfalfa sprouts or pretty much any other vegetable you can think of. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Making sushi can be tricky and you may think, that you can't make it without proper equipment, but believe me, you can. I made sushi many times without any bamboo mat and it looked and tasted amazing. I usually don't even need any sticks, I just use my bare hands and enjoy my food the natural way. Another benefit of homemade sushi is the fun you experience while making it. It can provide great social event, much more exciting and healthier then BBQ party.</span></div>

<u>Parsnip rice:</u></div>
<div>
2 cups parsnip, chopped</div>
<div>

<div>
1/2 cup zucchini, peeled and chopped</div>
<div>
1/3 cup water</div>
<div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Day of my 22nd birthday came and I couldn't wait to create the perfect birthday cake and celebrate this spacial day. With this occasion I also decided to introduce myself properly and tell you more about me and why I'm writing this blog. I was born and raised in Slovakia and after finishing high school I moved to Sweden where I now live with my boyfriend, and study swedish language. I studied graphics design and my goal is to continue studies at a university in Sweden. I'm hoping to achieve this goal next year.</span></div>

So why this blog and why raw food? I suffered from pancreatitis since I was 12 and my condition tended to worsen. I experienced several pancreatic seizures despite the medicine I took with every meal I ate. I use to eat unhealthy foods anyway and didn't believe I could ever get better. I would get angry and depressed every time I got a seizure. My mother (a doctor by the way) believed though that proper diet would solve my problems and started to talk about raw food. No cooking at all? I thought this must be some crazy idea. But I listened and even did my own research. I learned that meat and dairy products are not only cruel to consume but they are also unhealthy for me. I stopped eating meat, sugar and flour, cut down on dairy products and my health improved. First time since I was 12, I felt better. I decided to give the raw vegan diet a shot. And now after almost two years of raw vegan life style, my seizures ceased and I never felt better and more myself. I discovered I have much more energy and started with running and working out, which felt easy and fun instead of hard and boring.</div>

I also found raw "cooking" to be real fun and it became one of my hobbies. I started with creating my own recipes and was told that I should have a blog. As a graphic designer I have experiences with photography so nothing stood in my way and I created this blog. I have a lot of recipe ideas so it'll be here for a while, I even think about creating a recipe ebook. </div>

Something more you should know about me? I love all kinds of animals, fitness and newly even yoga, which I found to be very challenging, sewing and remaking my clothes (I'm also big fan of fashion design), reading. drawing, photography and as I already mentioned, graphics design and all kinds of art. My biggest inspiration is my boyfriend who supports all my crazy ideas and very patiently listens to my monologs about nutrition. </div>

Now when I exhausted you with my story, let me tell you something about this gorgeous cake. I wanted to create something elegant and classy. Cherries are my favourite summer fruits and I wanted to use them as main ingredient. The core of this cake is all made from fruits and coated with creamy white coconut frosting. I couldn't wish to have a tastier cake, it was absolutely perfect and luscious. It made my day and I can honestly say I had a beautiful birthday!</div>

What I love about Raw Food the most are the sweet, sin free recipes full of fruity tastes. I was never into using grains or too much nuts and seeds in my recipes. Although I like to use nuts and seeds occasionally. Fruits make me feel light and full of energy. Fresh, ripe and sweet fruits are the biggest part of my diet and I just love to experiment with different kinds and combine them in my recipes.</div>

This recipe is inspired by traditional czech recipe that reminds me of my childhood. I grew up in Slovakia and big part of my family lives in Czech republic. Traditional sweet dumplings are made from pastry filled with marmalade and steamed. They are often coated with melted butter and topped with poppy seeds or nuts. </div>

It's very hard to fight your childhood memories linked to food, but I believe my juicy dumpling are better then any dumplings I ever tasted back at home. I didn't expect so much from this recipe since it's very simple and was done in minutes, but it was so good, I even liked it more then raw crepes, which is my favourite raw recipe. These dumplings are perfect for breakfast or even as dessert, enjoy!</div>

I must admit that I have never really eaten a vegetarian burger. I wanted to try it, but it was too late for me since I became a raw vegan. Only option that has left for me, was to create my own raw veggie burger. Then I came across another problem. All raw vegan burger recipes contain nice portion of nuts. Don't get me wrong, I actually love nuts and enjoy them every now and then in occasional recipes. But my weekly lunch/dinner recipe usually contains very little fat.</div>

I used to look at my boyfriends plate when he enjoyed his vegetarian burgers and wondered whether he would like my raw vegan alternative if I made it for him. So I tried it and surprisingly, he loved them and ate four of them! I was very pleased that he approved this recipe and I gladly promised him to make the burgers soon again. </div>

Honestly, I'm not big fan of substitutions for meat. I don't need it because I don't miss taste of any kind of meat at all. But this burger tastes just wonderfully and it can make your diner/lunch a little more interesting. Eating only salads all the time can get boring in a little while. It can also provide newbies in vegetarianism the substitution they need. People eating standard diet eat meat all the time and the skip to vegetarian diet is not always easy, especially if one wants to skip to raw vegan diet immediately. In this case, this juicy veggie burger could be great help.</div>

I found this beautiful tart paper cups in an art store and I knew exactly what I'm going to do with them. I got inspired for this recipe by my favourite raw candy bar with spiced lime taste. Always when I shop in a health store I can't resist and buy one of those. It contains nuts though and that's why I can't eat more then one every now and then. Not mentioning the overloaded price.</div>

I was often playing with the idea to make my favourite candy bars myself but I got even better idea and included it in my new recipe and I even made it nut free! So if you're avoiding fats as me or you're allergic to nuts, you can enjoy this tarts without any harm to your health and habits. </div>

So the crusts of these tarts taste exactly like the raw bars I love so much. Mango is another favourite taste of mine and it goes well with lime and ginger. The smooth creamy mango filling is very simple to make thanks to rich taste of ripe mangos. I bet you can enjoy mangos as they are any time they appear on your plate. Who doesn't like mangos?</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I made two tarts - one for me and one for my boyfriend who claims that raw vegan deserts are the best kind of sweets he ever tasted. I must agree. To me, baked desserts are dry and heavy. Raw vegan desserts are juicy, much lighter for stomach and full of fresh tastes. So if you're not a raw vegan yet, give raw deserts a try, you won't regret!</span></div>

I was told to come up with some raw chocolate recipe, so here it is. Raw white chocolate truffles filled with tender caramel and raspberry filling. I used common and cheap ingredients and yet it turned really delicious! I highly recommend you to try this simple recipe to please yourself or someone you like. You need only a common kitchen equipment and couple of simple ingredients.<br />

This recipe contains no coconut oil, which is commonly used in raw chocolate recipes. The chocolate is based on dried shredded coconut and banana. These two ingredients work great together and create a tender creamy taste. I already mentioned that I like simplicity and that's what this recipe occurs. </div>

Taste of the chocolate was creamy enough and I felt that it needs some freshness of fruits as filling. Fresh sweet and sour taste of raspberries along with date based caramel was right decision. When you bite these sweet heart shaped truffles and discover the fresh tasting filling, I guarantee you that you will want to eat a whole box of them.</div>

For the shape I used a heart shaped ice form but you can use regular square shaped one or you can purchase a silicone chocolate form made for making truffles. You can also use chocolate bar form, it would work as well. So let's get started and make some delicious treats! </div>

<h3>
<i>Raw White Chocolate Raspberry and Caramel Truffles</i></h3>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<u>White chocolate</u></div>
<div>
3 cups dried, shredded coconut</div>
<div>
3 Tbsp agave nectar (or other sweetener)</div>
<div>
1 big ripe banana</div>
<div>
1 tsp pure vanilla extract</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Filling</u></div>
<div>
1/2 cup dates</div>
<div>
1 tsp pure vanilla extract</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1/3 cup fresh raspberries </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ice form or chocolate form</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To make the chocolate: Place shredded coconut in a food processor and process for about 5 minutes until the dry coconut turns to almost liquid mixture. Make sure the mixture is smooth and add all remaining ingredients. Process until you get dough like mass. </div>
<div>
To make the filling: Place dates and vanilla extract in a food processor and process until you get smooth date paste.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Assembly:</div>
<div>
Firmly press the chocolate mass into form and leave a space inside for the filling. Fill half of each truffle with piece of raspberry and top with caramel. Cover with chocolate so it is even with the form. Place in freezer for about 10 minutes or in fridge for at least 30 minutes. When the truffles get hard, gently remove them from the form. You can store the truffles in fridge, it won't melt and the filling will be tender. </div>

My diet routine is pretty simple. When I'm hungry I just throw some chopped fruits into my bowl and enjoy it as it is. But when it comes to preparing food for someone else, I want it to be stunning. Especially in the cases of visit from your friends or relatives, you want to have an impressive recipe on hand. This cobbler is something I would absolutely share with my friends and family. </div>

It's simple to make so you don't need to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up cashew nut creams and waiting for your dehydrator to be done. You can enjoy this cobbler as dessert or even as main dish if you want. It's low calorie, low fat and high in fruit! I never met anyone that wouldn't like mangos. It's one of the most delicious fruits out there. To combine it with pear was a great idea. The softness and sweetness of pear goes great with the sweet and sour taste of ripe mango.</div>

It needed some color, and the raspberries were just a wonderful choice. You can substitute them with some other berry fruit if you wish. Blueberries or blackberries would be great too. Be creative and play with food!</div>

Have you ever tried raw asparagus? It's nothing like the cooked one. I always thought that a raw asparagus just can't be as delicious as the cooked one, and I didn't even give it a try. When I finally tested it, I was very surprised. The crispy, almost nutty taste is very interesting and I decided to use it in some savory recipe. </div>

I thought that asparagus pizza could be great idea, and it turned out just great! When I hear the word Italian, I always think of basil and that is why I decided to use fresh basil and combine it with classic marinara sauce and marinated mushrooms. Sun dried tomatoes give the Italian taste to every meal, so I couldn't miss this important ingredient either.</div>

There is one thing I mind about raw pizza recipes. The heavy nutty crust that is too high in fat and doesn't fit into any fitness diet program. Whether you are fitness enthusiast or don't care about sport at all, high fat food is just not good for you. That is why I experiment and try to bring you tasty, healthy and low calorie recipes you can enjoy anytime. So here it comes - low fat, low calorie, absolutely healthy and delicious pizza!</div>

To keep the pizza low in fat I used zucchini as the main ingredient of the crust. If you want this pizza to be even lower in calories, just skip the cashew cheese or substitute it with avocado. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I did!</div>
