Raw Food Monago Pie

No I haven't purchased a dehydrator yet but I would really like to adopt more Raw food recipes into our family's meals. I have auto immune issues and it just seems like the more natural that I eat the better I feel. There are so many raw food recipes out there that go past salad. I just feel like slowly adding these recipes wouldn't hurt.

8 oz dried mango's
In a measuring cup put mango's with water until it reaches 2 cup mark.
Soak for 2 Hours

Pour mango and water into blender and puree until chunks are gone. You made need to add about 1/4 cup of water if it seems to thick.

In food processor 3/4 cup of raw almonds, 3/4 cups of raw walnuts, 3/4 dried dates.
Press nuts and dates in pie pan. Spoon on pureed mango and chill and serve.

This is not a a recipe I created i found on the net and thought hey that seems like a nice summer dessert.

Easy as Pudding... (another Mock)

5/8 of a ripe avocado
2 ripe bananas
2 Tablespoons of coco powder unsweetened

I haven't turned vegan, I cannot take credit for that. But I am adapting alot of  natural recipes in our life. I came across this recipe on another site and thought wow that is so simple.

Puree in the food processor and place in serving dishes and chill in the fridge for a hour. There are different variation's of this recipe using raw chocolate and honey.
We did not have those products in the home. I know the bananas and coco totally hide the avocado. A nice sweet treat... that isnt so bad. :) We are not super health foodies but this has to be a step above the box right?

Very low sugar Pumpkin pie (crustless)

Pumpkin pie in the summer time? Well I came across the recipe and thought it looked to good to forget.

1 Can of small pumpkin (15 oz)
2 eggs
1 cup of skim milk or soy milk
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
3/4 cup of no calorie sweetener ( we use stevia or triuvia)

Blend all together and place in microwave for 8 to 10 minutes. Until the sides of the mixture pull away from the pie plate (microwave safe)

You could add a small amount of sugar free cool whip.
( I'm not to fond of those products because of the chemicals)

Just another sweet treat cheat. I found this recipe on spark people.

Mock Soft Serve Icecream!!!

In the past I posted how to make Ice cream with a zip lock bag. Which was alot like soft serve. And I believe i posted Dr. Sears soft serve.

So since summer is here I wanted to post this very easy soft serve. Sorry no photo I need a new camera cord because mine is misplaced.

4 frozen banana's

Pulse in food processor until it is broken into smaller pieces .
Scrape the banana's down the side and pulse about five more minutes.

You could add any flavor, vanilla, or berries, or even protein powder mix for a chocolate flavor, or even peanut butter. This is so good and so low in sugar.

Makes 4 servings at 1/2 each. 108 calories and very low in carbs. The kids cannot tell the difference. They just think its homemade icecream. I found this recipe on Spark People.

By the way Patience is doing great, And enjoying the summer. :)
