So summmer is the perfect time to take advantage of the fresh fruits and veggies that are available. Here is a perfect simple recipe that uses fresh fruit and cashews and is highly satisfying. This combination is so tasty and reminds you of a parfait. The catch is its vegan, raw, and great for you.
For one serving you will need:
5 strawberries
1/4 cup of blueberries
1/4 cup of raspberries
4 pineapple rings
1 kiwi
1 cup of cashews
1/4-1/2 cup of coconut milk
vanilla to taste
agave to taste
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of mixed nuts/seeds (like almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans)
*** all organic***
Begin by soaking the cup of cashews overnight in distilled water.
In the morning, place the nuts and coconut into your oven and toast for 10 min. Once toasted, place in blender or food processor and chop very finely. Set aside.
While the nuts and coconut are toasting, finely chop all of your fruit by hand. Do not place the fruit into a blender. It will crush the fruit and leave you with a puree. You do not want this. You want to be able to taste the full flavor of each of the fruits. They are filled with antioxidents! Once all fruit is chopped, place inside a bowl and set aside.
Now you want to place cashews and coconut milk into the blender. Only add a little cocnut milk at a time. Once the mixture is to the consistency that you want, add in your agave and vanilla. This is a simple raw yogurt. To make the flavor a little more coconutty, you can add about a tablespoon of coconut oil. Its is lovely.
Now the simple part. Simply pour the desired amount of your un-yogurt onto your chopped fruit. Top with toasted coco-nut mixture and voila. The kids will be eating it before you can even get in a bite. So simple and so good!!!
