Fruity-pie smoothie

I like to make my smoothies super thick like ice cream and serve in a martini glass so I can lick it up like an ice cream cone. Yum! I thought I'd try something a little different today after talking with some friends about what fruit turmeric might go well with in a smoothie, and I ended up with something that reminds me of peach pie. Even though I didn't use peaches! This is what approximately used:
1/3c frozen strawberries
1/3c frozen banana chunks
2/3c frozen mango chunks
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1tsp vanilla
1/4c walnuts
Maybe 1/4 c peanut milk (just enough to blend thick)
1tsp dried super greens

I'm guessing the turmeric, walnuts and vanilla all worked together in forming the essence of pie crust.

Definitely a winner!

RAWvioli party!

I had some friends over for a RAW food emphasis Sunday brunch making party. I put them to work and had them assemble the RAWviolis.  I did a simple peanut keifer cheese seasoned with garlic powder, salt, truffle oil and nutritional yeast. The sauce was a fresh basil and tomato sauce with a little cashew keifer cheese to make it creamy. For dessert... frozen mango blended with yogurt and topped with a "whip cream" i make from coconut cream, almond milk and agar. Garnished with strawberry "sugar" (ground dried strawberries ). A success!
