Raw vegan pistachio and clementines treats

Raw vegan pistachio and clementines treats

Ingredients:

• 3/8 cup (60g) shelled pistachios
• 3/8 cup (50g) shelled hazelnuts
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/4 desiccated apricots (about 4 apricots, or 30g)
• 1 tsp desiccated raisins
• grated rind of a clementine, and juice of half a clementine
• 1 or 2 tsp agave or meaple sirup, to taste
• shredded coconut as needed

 Method: 

1. ground pistachios, sesame seeds and hazelnuts togeter
2. add chopped apricots, raisins, clementine rind and juice and the sirup and blend again 
3. sprinkle coconut above a sheet of baking paper or aluminium foil one and, with aid of a spatula, spread the mixture smoothly
4. sprinkle again with coconut over the mixture smoothed and freeze for about 5-10 minutes before cutting it

 ...I cutted it into little triangles but the shape doesn't matter. Interpose a piece of baking paper or aluminium foil between a treat and another one and keep them in the freezer. I recommend you to eat it at freezer or fridge temperature to emphasize flavours and also because the texture is better at that temperature...

Raw vegan pear cup

Pear cup

with walnut and raisins

...An easy, practical and also quite original recipe. To eat this pear cup you won't need any teaspoon, tablespoon, fork or knife, you'll only need a towel to cleanse your hands. For this, this recipe results being the ideal one to have a healthy snack, standing....lying on the sofa....studing...when you are in a hurry....sitting in front of the TV... whatever you're doing! 

Also the combination of flavours is very good: the sweetness of pear, the slightly bitter note of dehidrated raisins and the fragrant taste of hazelnuts... It gaves you a good mood!! 

For me, it was the perfect breakfast, to get the energy to restart school after Christmas holidays. Whitout the idea of a so attractive breakfast, I think I wouldn't have pulled out of the blanket even the little toe ...

1. Cut the neck of the pear and clean it from seeds and core, using a knife

4. finally, once you have mixed all the ingredients, with a spoon, fill the mixture into the cavity created in the body of the pear, and press it down well
