Did you ever have ice cream cake when you were growing up? If you did, well oh my gosh you’d best be excited by this recipe. If you didn’t, well, honestly that’s probably for the best. But you should be just as excited! Because here you get the glorious experience which is the frosty, chewy, brownie lovely ice cream cake experience — but without all the questionable stuff! It’s another example of how with raw food you can have your ice cream cake and eat it, too.
Avocados
Chipotle Mayo Stuffed Avocados
Do you ever find yourself missing chipotle mayo? Well no more! It turns out that cashews make a great base for raw chipotle mayo, and avocado is the perfect vessel with which to transport said “mayo” to your fortunate mouth!
This recipe looks awesome, tastes awesome, and is super easy to make. You’ve got at least 8 vegetables in this one tight package, and that means a variety of nutrients to keep your engines running clean. And of course, you’ve got all the flavor your taste buds can handle. One couldn’t wish for more.
Super Guacamole!
It’s always guac-o-clock somewhere!
Sure, you could make guacamole with an avocado and a bit of tomato and salt. You could. But you wouldn’t, because you are a dynamic, exciting, and adventurous soul gleefully exploring the potential of the universe! What you need is Super Guacamole! And here it is.
Unlike the super versions of other types of food, super guacamole is still pretty quick and easy to make. But that little bit of extra effort sure goes a long way to take you from guacameh to guacamazing. The word is pretty fun, too.
What really dials up the volume on this guacamole is the corn and the cumin. I’ve never had corn in my guac, which is silly because corn is perfect for guac! Sweet with a little bit of texture. Corn and avocado, what a neat thing.
Obviously, a great way to enjoy super guacamole is on super tacos. And then you can have choco tacos for dessert to complete your balanced taco meal. Also great as a dip for veggies!
Zucchini Noodle Curry in 10 Minutes
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: zucchini noodles are out of this world. If you’ve got that friend or family member who just doesn’t get how you can be satisfied on a raw, plant based diet, then put 10 minutes aside and make them a serving of this wicked zucchini noodle curry.
Of course, if you’ve been around the raw-food block once or twice, you know all about the wonders of zucchini noodles. And that’s where the subtle brilliance of this simple recipe comes in. When you think curry, you probably think spicy. And with curry powder, chili paste, and cayenne, this zucchini noodle curry delivers.
But you probably also think creamy. Most vegan curries I’ve come across have turned to coconut milk to provide that rich texture, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that. Here we see a different approach, with cashews and avocado stepping up to the plate to thicken things out. But fear not, oh lovers of coconut, for the subtler presence of coconut water will still be bringing that tropical taste we all love.
