I love the flavour of mint match matchers, becoming Vegan meant I had to lay them to rest.
I thought I’d create my own Raw Vegan version 🙂
They are delicious.
Follow my basic chocolate recipe

Half cup cacao nibs
Fresh mint leave to garnish and add lovely fresh mint flavour.

If you want to use up left over vegetables from the week these are for you! I made a juice from various vegetables I had over.
I decided to make crackers, bread and cakes with the pulps.
Here is the parsnip pulp made into crackers.

I decided to make an old favourite of mine Cherry & Almond Flapjack.
I didn’t get as far as dehydrating it as it tastes great just as it is.

I find an integral part of staying raw is to satisfy our desires that were created in our old ways of eating. For me I like crunchy food! Do not get me wrong I absolutely love the crunch of fresh lettuce, kale, apples etc Kale chips meet a different desire we have to crunch away on something that feels decadent. These Chilli Kale Chips I have created are amazing! They hit all the spots for me, Sweet, Savoury, Slightly salty, Spicy and most of all that pleasing crunch! kale is a superfood! Check out this website where you can compare nutritional values of foods side by side HealthAliciousNess It’s a helpful tool and lots of interesting facts on the website. So we have delicious! Nutritious! Do you need any more reasons to eat these ? How about some of my Cheesy Chive Mayo to Dip them in 🙂 Enjoy guilt free eating.
Try this beautiful creamy mayo in a raw taco. It hits so many spots. Bring it on!!
Recipe:
Cashew Nut Mayo Cheesy Chive
Half cup soaked cashews (soaked in healthy water, not tap! for 4 hours if possible)
Juice of half lemon
Drizzle of sesame oil
A tablespoon of chopped onion
Salt only a little (Celtic sea salt)
Agave syrup 2 tsp or a couple of dried dates
Dried chives or fresh if possible 1 tbsp
Pinch turmeric
If you like more of a cheesy taste you can add a spoonful of nutritional yeast full of B vitamins too.
Whizz up in your blender with some water to desired consistency.
Then enjoy immediately or saves for a few days in fridge.
