Cherry and Berries Coconut Cups
Cherries are a truly marvelous tree! Not only do they produce such delicious, gorgeous fruit, but they also create some of the showiest, prettiest puffy flower displays of all the plant kingdom.

Now, the cherries that produce the beautiful flowers are actually different cultivars than the ones which make the yummy fruit. But just look what happens when you combine the sweet, tart flavor of the fruit, with the serene beauty of the flowers! it makes for quite a picture.
Even if you don’t have some gorgeous cherry blossoms on hand, you can still make these delicious cherry and berries coconut cups! They will still be absolutely stunning, both on the plate and in your mouth.
The recipe does call for heating up the cherry juice in order to condense it. If you want to stick to purely raw, you can probably get away with just using 2 tablespoons of uncondensed cherry juice, but the cherry flavor won’t be as intense.

Chocolate Orange Cake
Chocolate orange is one of history’s great combinations. Like oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, Brad and Angelina, or Batman and Robin. Sure you can have them separately and they’re perfectly good. But when you put them together, oh boy, you really bump it up a notch.
Kicking the flavor combination up yet another notch is a healthy dose of ginger. Ginger is one of the few flavors that rivals chocolate orange, so any recipe that manages to balance all three of these ambrosial flavors is a guaranteed winner.

Chocolate pudding! When was the last time you had chocolate pudding? As a kid, there was nothing like it. A little bit of chocolate pudding in the lunch box was always such a superlative delight.

Not the case with this Avocado Chocolate Pudding! Your inner child will love the chocolaty sweetness, and your mature self will feel great about the health benefits of chocolate and avocado!
