IMG_2306
Now, most of us here in Heartwood have experienced these treats Christina whips up to keep us all healthy, and these are our favorite. Christina made these while we traveled, and here’s her recipe …
Note: Pecans should be soaked and dehydrated if possible – Almonds should also be soaked.
In your VitaMixer, turn these into a nut-powder consistency
1 Cup Pecans
1/3 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
1/3 Cup Sunflower Seeds
1/3 Cup Almonds

Grab a bowl, and put the nut powder in, then add and mix by hand:

1/4 Cup Raw Organic Cocoa Powder
2 Tbsp. Organic Maca Powder
5 Tbsp. Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 Organic Raw Cocoa Nibs
1/4 Tbsp. Himalayan Pink Salt
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. Xylitol
10 Drops Stevia
1/4 Cup Organic Coconut Oil

Mix it until it’s sticky and add 2 tbsp. Organic Chia Seeds and hand form balls. You can stick a Goji Berry in each one for color and a yummy extra.

Stick in the fridge or you can freeze them. Energy!!! a wonderful Boost! Drop your chocolate bars, and try these!

Christina’s Superfood Raw Berry Pie

IMG_2296  While visiting Sea Island with Christina and her family, I was lucky enough to get to watch Christina IMG_2299make (and EAT) her yummy Raw Berry Pie.  Okay, this pie is amazing, so expect to eat more than one piece, but if you have more willpower than I do, it’s a suitable freezer item for storage for those sweet cravings with that Superfood edge.  These can also be made as individual servings in cupcake tins or ice cube trays for bit sizes.  So healthy and palette cleansing.  Enjoy!

 Note: We used a Vitamix to make this one since we didn’t have a food processor, which would be a little easier for the crust.  We also used a new brand we found at the local health food store, Sunfood! 

 Another Note: Prepare nuts by soaking prior to use.

CRUST:
1 CUP mixed organic Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds and Rolled Oats
1 Tbsp. Organic Maca Powder
1 Tbsp. Organic Raw Cocoa
2 Tbsp. Organic Coconut Sugar
2 Tbsp. Organic Chia Seeds
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Organic Dates or Raisins
IMG_2208Keeping it on low speed, blend until dry crumbly.  When it gets to this consistency, then add 4 Tbsp. melted coconut oil to the mix and smoosh it all evenly into your pie plate 🙂  Go ahead and stick it in the fridge until we are ready for it.

FILLING:
1 Cup soaked organic cashews
2 Cups mixed berries (We used organic frozen mixed berries)
10 Drops Stevia
2 Tsp. Xylitol
3/4 Cup Organic Coconut Oil
IMG_2205
Blend it all, and fill your crust! Sprinkle with Raw Cocoa Nibs.  Refrigerate to set.
 
Grab your fork!
