Our conversation with Yulia began with the fact that I shared a recipe for marshmallows on VKontakte. The recipe is someone else’s (from the Internet, the author is unknown), but even without experiment it was clear: cool and simple. Yulia wrote in response that she tried this plum marshmallow (it was served by friends who are also keen on healthy lifestyles) and it really turned out delicious. Therefore, I present this recipe here as a proven one. Next there will be three recipes from Yulia: raw food halva, jam and sweets.

Raw food cake - a simple recipe

A very simple version of a delicious cake. In this recipe we will prepare a very tasty raw cream for the cake, which you can then use in any other recipes.

For the crust:

300 grams of almonds. Can be replaced with any other nuts of your choice.
2 tablespoons of honey. This amount will be enough and the cake will not be too cloying.
6 dates. We take out the bone.
2 tablespoons carob. This chocolate powder can be purchased at any vegan store.

Now grind the nuts and dates in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the resulting mass and get the dough for the cakes. It needs to be divided into two parts, since we will have two cake layers.

For cream:

150 grams of dates. We take out the bones. Soak them in warm water for one hour. During this time they will swell and will be easier to beat.
2 ripe bananas.

Beat dates and bananas in a blender and get a gorgeous cream.

Place one part of the dough in the mold and grease it with cream, then put the second part of the dough and grease it too. Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Raw food diet recipes for beginners

How to create a diet for a beginner raw foodist? A balanced menu is formed as follows:

Breakfast. At first, you must have breakfast. Over time, the body will adjust to the new regime, and then it will be possible to give up morning snacks. Fresh fruits, dried fruits, bananas and citrus fruits are ideal for breakfast. We eat just enough to be completely satisfied.
Dinner. At lunchtime you can eat soups, all kinds of vegetarian salads, flavored with plenty of greens. In terms of taste, they provide excellent competition to classic dishes from the usual diet. We cook from our favorite products. Ideally, you should take seasonal vegetables and fruits. In summer - tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, in winter - beets, carrots, cabbage.
Dinner. The last meal is the most high-calorie and filling. For dinner, it is best to eat seeds, dried fruits, and nuts. The products can be eaten either individually or in the form of salads. An excellent solution is bean porridge.

Diet Napoleon with coconut milk

Avocado chocolate pudding

My earliest experiments with a raw food diet began with variations of this dessert. The chocolate version is a favorite. Avocado is a great base for desserts. There's enough fat in it to be tasty, but not so much that it's hard on your stomach (unlike a glass of nuts, for example). In general, avocados are easily digestible and contain a lot of fiber. This dessert is a complete part of lunch; it satisfies very well.

2 ripe avocados 2 oranges 2 tbsp. agave nectar 3 tsp raw cocoa powder

1 tsp natural vanilla extract 1 tsp. cinnamon

Squeeze the juice from the oranges and mix it in a blender at low speed with the avocado pulp and other ingredients. The speed can be increased gradually, but carefully - thick pudding is very easy to overheat in a powerful blender, and avocado blends well even at low speed. Agave nectar is truly the optimal source of sweetness in this recipe. When replacing it with honey, be very careful with the amount - try it!

Raw green buckwheat cake

This option deserves your attention, because we will cook it without nuts!

50 grams coconut oil
50 grams of coconut urbech
2 tablespoons coconut milk
2 tablespoons coconut flour
a little honey or Jerusalem artichoke syrup to your taste

We beat all these components in a blender. You should have the consistency of very thick sour cream.

Now let's prepare the crust:

100 grams of coconut flakes. Grind in a coffee grinder until it becomes flour.
2 tablespoons carob
4 tablespoons of green buckwheat bulk

Mix everything and put it in the mold. Pour green buckwheat cream on top. Let's put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Raw food cake without nuts is ready!

Cake for raw foodists called “Napoleon”

Classic “Napoleon” is a combination of a pleasant taste with a very high calorie content, and it is not suitable for the diet of raw foodists. But you can make it healthier by making it from fruits and nuts. The recipe is quite easy and will not make you spend hours in the kitchen. To prepare it, you need to wash and peel one apple and a pear. Cut the fruit in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the fruit into slices. Next, grind half a glass of almonds and the same amount of walnuts in a blender. To this mass you need to add half a spoon of vanillin and cinnamon. The nut crumb is ready. For the cream, you should take as many as seven tablespoons of liquid honey with lemon zest and juice. Mix with half a teaspoon of ground ginger. Now you can assemble this dessert. Taking any form or plate, carefully lay out the first layer of apples, which should be soaked in honey and then sprinkled with walnut crumbs. The second layer is a pear in honey with almonds. Then the layers are repeated. The assembled cake can be decorated with nuts and raisins if desired. This “Napoleon” will perfectly decorate the holiday table not only of raw foodists, but also of lovers of proper nutrition.

Strawberry “Romanoff”

The recipe is a non-alcoholic, raw food version of the famous dessert, which is usually made with orange liqueur and whipped cream, ice cream, or sour cream. It is better to prepare almond cream in advance, because... it keeps quite well for two to three days and needs to be cold for the recipe. Source Raw: The Uncook Book

, albeit with some changes.

Cream 1 cup almonds 2-3 dates 1 cup water 1 tsp. natural vanilla extract (or seeds from a vanilla pod)

Strawberries 2 cups strawberries 1 cup orange juice 1 tsp. fresh orange zest 1 tsp. natural vanilla extract (or seeds from a vanilla pod)

small strawberries and fresh mint for decoration

Almond cream (a process familiar to you based on the sauce and dessert) 1. Soak the almonds for 2-3 hours. When it starts to swell, this is the best time to remove the skins - just press the tonsil with your fingers and it will slide out of the skin. After peeling, the almonds need to be left in water for a few more hours, then drained and rinsed. 2. Mix in a blender: almonds, water, dates, vanilla. It takes a long time to mix, but the consistency should be like sour cream. If it doesn't mix well, add additional water. When the cream is ready, put it in a bowl with a lid or a plastic container and put it in the refrigerator.

Strawberries 3. Wash the strawberries well, peel them from twigs and leaves, and cut them. Large strawberries into slices, small ones in half. Place strawberries in a bowl. 4. Pour orange juice over the strawberries, add vanilla and orange zest, stir, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. When the cream has cooled and the strawberries have soaked, the dessert is almost ready. Place 2 tablespoons of almond cream into ice cream glasses or bowls. Place a layer of strawberries on top, then add a few more spoons of cream. The number of layers will be determined by the shape of your glasses. Top with mint and whole small strawberries.
