Cantaloupe Granita Recipe


Cantalopes are in season during the summer and are sweet and juicy. Making it a perfect canidate for a frozen dessert. Granita is very similar to a sorbet or icy, but its method is different.  Granitas do not require any fancy equiptment to make, all you need is a blender or food processor.  Then the texture is formed by scraping the frozen mixture so it resembles shaved ice.  You can use Basil or Mint or both for this recipe. Both are delicious! This is a guilt free dessert that will surely impress everyone :)

Uncooked CAPONATA over NOODLES or as a DIP- Raw Food Recipe


If you've never tried caponata please give this receipe a try. It is delicious on its own, as a dip or on top of zucchini or kale noodles! The traditional recipe calls for eggplant, but this vegetable does not taste great raw. so i substituted cauliflower.

I will be making this over and over again:)

Caponata Sauce
3 cups Tomatoes, diced
2 cups Cauliflower florets, broken in pieces
1/2 cup Red bell pepper, diced

GREEN Smoothie- Papaya-Orange-Banana-Coconut Water-Spinach


I love green smoothies because it is such a great way to get your fruit and vegetables in one serving and it taste great!! I had some papaya left over from a tropical salsa i made the other day, so that was the base for this smoothie.  Fresh coconut water can be found in Asian markets or Wholefoods or you can use cartons of coconut water. Spiach is a mild sweeter green that is less obvious in a smoothie, which makes it perfect for giving to your kids. Give this a try. It makes a delicious on the go breakfast or snack.

1 each Banana, fresh or frozen
1 each Orange, rough chop
Water from 1 young Thai Coconut (about 11 ounces)
2 c Spinach

step 2- Add all the fruit and puree for 1 minute
step 3- Add the spinach and blend for another 30 seconds

Almond Joy Candybar- Raw Food Recipe


It always helps to have a really easy dessert recipe on hand. This candybar recipe can be made days ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator or it can be frozen.  I have always been a fan of the candy bar Almond Joy because of the chocolate and coconut, but never buy it because it is so unhealthy.  This raw version has only four ingredients and really satisfies your sweet tooth!! You can enjoy the bars right after you make them and eat them with a spoon or chill them for at least an hour in the refrigerator or freezer for bars you can hold.

Recipe will make 4 mini Candybars
4 T Almond butter
2 T Cacao Powder
2 T Agave or Liquid Sweetner of Choice
1/2 c Coconut, shredded and unsweetned

Step 1- In a bowl mix together almond butter, cacao and agave until well blended
Step 2- Put coconut in a bowl
Step 3- In batches, drop 1 tablespoon of almond mixture into coconut and coat on both sides
Step 4- Put bars on a plate and shape into small rectangles
Step 5- Refrigerate until firm enough to pick up (about an hour)
