Raw Vegan – So Refreshing!

Featuring KumquatsGuacamole adds such versatility to a Raw Fusion Lifestyle: You can use it as salad dressing or make an impromptu meal by slicing up veggies and dip; I also use guacamole as a base for nori wraps. There are many variations to this Mexican flavorful dish.

Raw Dessert — Vegan and Gluten-Free!
There’s something very magical about being able to make a delectable chocolate pudding using an ingredient that one would usually relate to more savory and salty dishes. But the avocado — called the love apple for many centuries — will astound you by how rich and creamy it turns out. It’s important to get all the lumps out so either use the tines of a fork, a potato masher or even your food processor.
Avocados have 20 essential nutrients including fiber, Vit-E the B-vitamins & folic acid Cashews contain thiamine that works on memory, similar to gingko biloba. They are both considered brain-boosting foods! Imagine having a decadent parfait and having it actually be good for your brain!
