How about everybody post their favorite recipe? Or how about post 1 favorite main dish and one raw desert?

      I loooove oranges. I bought a whole bunch of little 'uns I just peel and pop the whole thing into my mouth. Yummy…
      Ok, my absolute favorite thing to eat when I was a kid was banana and avocado mashed up together. Delicious!

        my midday snack:
        about 1 cup of freshly made almond milk
        1 banana
        1-2 dates
        1/2 inch piece of vanilla bean
        1 tablespoon raw cacao nibs
        sometimes a bit of agave
        sometimes a few cashews if i want it thicker
        blend with a couple of ice cubes for a cold one.

        there are many variations to this, including the addition of mango or kiwi.
        i have even tossed in a few coffee beans when i needed a lift, however, they are not raw. if i had raw ones, (like if my coffee plant would put out...) i would definitely use them.

          hahaha…put out…Freshly made seed/nut milk is the best. When I was younger my mom would make sesame seed milk or pudding from figs and almonds every morning for breakfast.

            i make an endless variety of banana puddings--I dunno why I never thought of adding avacados before, but I'll try it now--thx for the tip!

            Pick a few ingredients for various combinations:
            mashed bananas (duh)
            raw cacoa powder (love the Nature's First Law brand)
            semi-sweet chocolate chips (Sunfood brand rocks!)
            agave nectar
            almond or peanut butter
            cashews
            walnuts
            raisins
            dates
            apricots
            Sassy's Seedalicious topping plus hemp seeds (www.vegancoach.com/nutritio...gan.html)

              Do you sprout your nuts?

                avocado is awesome with banana, this plus cacao makes a fab pie filling.
                I'm not sure who you were asking about the nut sprouting, Sentience. I soak my almonds overnight, but even after two days i've never gotten them to sprout. These almonds come straight from a farm in Cali and they are not fumigated or heated, but still, i've never gotten an almond (or any nut, for that matter) to sprout. I sure wish they would, because i plan to get a Champion juicer and start making my own nut butters. The Vitamix is said to be able to do that, but i've never gotten it to work.
