IMG_4067

Makes 2 smoothies

Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender

1.5 cups of your favorite non dairy milk – I like cashew, or hemp, but almond and coconut milk work too!

1 cup filtered water

3 TBSP Tahini

1 tsp local honey

pinch of pink Himalayan salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Optional superfoods:

1 tsp bee pollen

1/2 tsp maca

1 Tbsp hemp seeds

Have you tried my Raw Hemp Seed Halvah Dessert  

The only thing I can take credit for is eating this. I love this recipe exactly the way it is in The Power of Food by Adam Hart. This a fantastic cookbook for anyone looking to add nutrient dense, high prana, foods to their diet. There are chapters dedicated to hemp seeds, chia,cashews, garlic, ginger, avocados… I think you get the point!!!

I like to refer to this “dessert” as a power snack which justifies  me eating it for breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner..which happens!

The ingredients are superior to most granola bar or protein bar recipes, and with the hemp seeds and almond butter, this packs a punch! This recipe is not only rich in protein, but also in omega 3 thanks to the walnuts  and calcium from the sesame seeds and tahini. Lastly, it’s raw and has all the enzymes for optimal digestion and assimilation!

This is a must try!

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts, ground

1/4 cup sesame seeds, ground

1/4 cup hemp seeds

3 Tbsp tahini

3 Tbsp honey

2 Tbs[, almond butter

1/2 tsp Himalayan crystal salt

Extra hemp seeds for sprinkling on top

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the topping. Line an 8 inch square baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle some hempseed overtop and place the halvah in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Cut into small squares and serve. Store your halvah in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
