How much fun is Healthy sisters day!! I'm so excited to share my new lifestyle and swap recipes with my favorite girls on the planet!!
Today we did Dr. Fuhrmans Date-nut pop ems
Combine in your food processor or High powered blender
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds
then mash
6-8 Fresh medjool dates
I keep my dates out because we use them way quickly and dont need to refridgerate, so mine dont always need a fork used, I just mash with my fingers, then pour on your ground nut mixture and knead in until well combine. Form into balls and consume liberally:)
we added 1 tablespoon cocoa powder to make chocolate date balls and YUM and the kids all enjoyed them! It was really fun to watch Wendy's kiddos try them very leary....decide they didnt like them, and then come back for more. The after taste is really yummy so you do find yourself deciding, yes I shall have another!
We also made
Dr. Fuhrmans healthy almond chocolate dip
I made this on Easter, a much simpler version from his other book "Eat to Live" and all the kids gobbled it up. so i will post that recipe first, and then the version we made at Wendy's house I got out of his other book "eat for health" it has a lot more ingredients and is far more nutrient packed! however both are great for you! you can also substitute raw cashews for the almonds, Im excited to try that.
simple Almond Chocolate dip
1 1/3 cup raw almonds
1 cup vanilla soy/hemp/almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBSP natural non-alkalized cocoa powder or raw carob powder
2/3 cup pitted fresh medjool dates (I always use a little more than the recipe calls for)
Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy in a high powered blender. adding more milk if necessary.
More nutrient dense version
1 1/2 cup whole raw almonds or cashews
1 cup vanilla soy/hemp/almond milk
2 cups baby spinach
2 cups frozen or fresh strawberries or blueberries
2/3 cup pitted dates
3 tablespoons natural non alkalized cocoa powder or raw carob powder
2 tablespoons Goji berries if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 raw beet or 2 tablespoons beet powder
Blend nuts and milk until smooth in a high powered blender, add remaining ingredients and blend again. can be eaten as a pudding, or a dip for fruits and vegetables
my kids love love this and if i set it out with a fresh fruit and veggie tray it is always gone quickly during the day, and the date nut balls as well!
