My spicy cocoa green drink

This is a yummy drink I have everyday, it makes me so happy.
Though, I'm not sure how well it will work in a regular blender, as my vitamix will pulverize the green veggies. I do many variations of this recipe, but this is the one had today:
      Blend:
1 cup almond milk
2 cups spinach
1/2 tsp.vanilla
1/2 cup strong green tea
     Add and blend:
2 tbsp. cocoa
1 tbsp. carob powder
1/2 tsp. Grade B Maple syrup
dash of salt
1 tsp. tumeric
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. cayenne
sprinkle of cinnamon
    Add and blend:
about 1/2 cup of ice to chill

RAWvioli

I came across a recipe for Ravioli using zucchini slices as the pasta. I used yellow squash. I made the filling with chick peas and sunflower seeds as oppose to making a nut "cheese" so it wasn't quite cheese-like. More hummus like. But I was out of nuts! I'm all about improve ;) even if it isn't exactly what I was I initially going for. I drizzled the RAWviolis with flax seed oil. The oil really helps make it seem like pasta.

I love pizza!

After a hard day or art making all I want is pizza! Well, also maybe a glass of wine and some RAW chocolate cake too. Anyway, this is my second attempt at making RAW pizza. I cheated a bit though as I lightly heated my crust on the stove as oppose to dehydrating it. My first pizza was a bit salty. I think it was the tomato sauce. I need to work on the recipe but I made the crust from sprouted chick pea flour, arrowroot flour, celery salt, cumin, baking powder, water, apple cider vinegar, and oregano. I rolled it out thin on my silpat mat and heated stove top until the edges slightly curled and the crust got just a bit firm. Tomato sauce: I blended tomatoes, garlic, green onion, oregano, cumin, bragg,  apple cider vinegar, cumin, cayenne. For the "cheese" I food processed soaked almonds, garlic, cumin, coconut vinegar, celery salt, a dash of dry keifer culture. I think that's it.
