Raw Soup for Breakfast

-
Today I opened up the refrigerator asking myself what I was going to make for breakfast. Staring back at me were my Brown Turkey Figs, fresh figs that is!! Over in the fruit bowl were my last two bananas. Originally I was going to simply slice them up with the bananas and eat them as is. But then I got the idea of making a hemp kream to serve on top. Well I changed my mind again and started creating this raw soup recipe in the food processor. The combination of the hemp, banana and Lucuma are fantastic. There are even more great components to the recipe so read here and see if you'd like to give it a try. This is by far my favorite raw soup so far!

1 T Lecithin Powder

In a small food processor, process the bananas, lecithin, lemon juice, lucuma powder, honey, vanilla sea salt and hemp seeds until smooth and creamy. Pour soup into an individual soup bowl. Top with the sliced figs. Enjoy the goodness!

Because I love to cook and have eaten every vegetable that I can possibly grow in my area in every way that I can think of I have a pretty good sense of what things will taste like just by looking at the ingredients. Your food really throws me off though.:) What an interesting combination, it does sound good though...how can you go wrong with figs and bananas.

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or ...

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience g...

Each year we make it a point to travel up to our favorite spot in the mountains. Some times we even get up there twice in one year. We decided to plan a our trip during the week that we normally attend the Homeschooling Conference. This year I just didn't feel the need to go to the conference and preferred a relaxing week in the mountains instead. This is the new cabin we chose. It is in the same area that we always go but we wanted to try staying at a different cabin for some variety. The cabin was lovely and we loved the property. Our views were stunning.  Almost every night we enjoyed a blazing camp fire and even some glutenfree, vegan smores. We even could go on hikes right down the hill of the property we were renting. The kids had a blast exploring all that nature has to offer. We did many other fun things with the children to enjoy our time together. We took some of them horseback riding and the rest of us enjoyed following along in a c...
