Much More Galore!

Today is all about new recipe creations! I've perfected (finally) my favorite new green smoothie. I call it: Baby Green Smoothie. It goes a little something like this:
4 large leaves Kale
1 frozen banana
1 c almond milk
1 c raw Tahini
1 T hemp protien
1/2 c frozen mango

give it all a whirl!

Now, onto this week's secret ingredient recipe:

Pleasant Persimmon Pie

(I realized that after I made this I probably should have used a little bit of Irish Moss, but that's why there's always next time right?)

Filling:

11/4 c young coconut meat (about 2 coconuts)

2 c chopped persimmons (about 3 small)

1 T cinnamon

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t pumpkin pie spice

1 t sea salt

1 T Meyer lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)

 Blend in a vitamix until verrrrrrrry smooth

Crust:

11/2 c walnuts

10 dates

2 T coconut oil

6 prunes

3/4 c pistachios

1 T Meyer lemon juice

2 t sea salt

mix in food processor for a long while (it takes a little elbow grease)

garnish:

chopped rosemary

goji berries

nutmeg

Assembly:

Push crust into a pie plate (lined with parchment paper) using your palms (might take a while). Pour filling in. Garish as your heart desires. Chill overnight. Put in freezer for 15 minutes before serving. Not any longer or it will freeze

Serves 8-10

 This morning I had one of my favorites: I juiced 2 grapefruits and one orange and added some frozen cranberries for color

 My cookies came out wonderfully. They were kind of a spur of the moment thing but Dan loved them which is always good... the chocolate chips definitely sufficed.

I got to see my dear friend Rachel today, which is great, you know always there and those wonderful shinanigans. She got to watch and eat all the food I made, and I got her approval.

As for the rest, I will be having a pleasant rest of the weekend.. I think taking a break is very necessary. What else do you have in store? What ever it is, bring love with you.
