Homemade Raw Almond Butter
/
I think my days of buying store-bought almond butter are over. Most almond butters I see in the store contain added oils and sugar, neither of which I'm a huge fan of. This morning I whipped up my own batch and all I used were almonds (and just a pinch of sea salt).

This recipe was the solution to an "I-have-a potluck-to-go-to-but-don't-have-enough-time-to-go-to-the-store-first" dilemma. It took less than 5 minutes and was a huge hit. If the Raw Chocolate Mousse is too rich for you, this is a lighter (and easier) version. Enjoy!

What is it about potato chips that makes it so hard to eat just one? Is it the satisfying crunch? The salt? The powerful combination of crunchy and salty? If you're a potato chip addict and would like a healthier, more nutritious alternative, then this is the recipe for you!

Finally, a seasonal soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, guilt-free "ice cream"! Amazing how the addition of carrot and nutmeg to the basic Banana "Ice Cream" recipe completely transforms this dessert into a dish that will make your friends and family begging for more.

This salad is one of my favorites! Giving your kale a good rub down with sea salt draws out the bitterness of the kale and also softens it so it almost looks sauteed. This is a recipe that even non-kale fans will love!

Read MoreDessert Balls
/My friends call these "Emily's Balls".
This is a recipe I came up with that doesn’t require exact measuring. It is quick, easy, and only requires 3 ingredients! Experiment and you’ll find the balance that works best for you. Have fun with it!
Dessert Balls
INGREDIENTS
- Raw almonds or walnuts (ground in a food processor)
- Dates (soaked)
- Honey (optional)
- Chia seeds (optional)
- Sea salt (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
- Grind nuts in food processor until fine
- Add dates, honey, and sea salt to food processor.
- You’ll want the mixture to be sticky enough to form a dough. If it’s too dry, add more dates or honey. If it’s too wet, add more nuts.
- Remove mixture and place in a bowl. Roll mixture into balls (about the size of ping pongs) and put aside.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
- Serve as is
- Chill in freezer or refrigerator then serve
- Put onto a cookie sheet and place in the oven at 350 F degrees. Remove when they’re at the desired temperature or consistency
NOTES
To make several types of desserts out of the same mixture, try the following varieties…
- Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice then blend while mixture is still in food processor
- Add cacao powder then blend while mixture is still in food processor
- Roll balls in shredded coconut
- Make a thumb print in each ball to flatten (looks more cookie-like this way)

Dairy-Free Banana "Ice Cream"
INGREDIENTS
- 1 frozen banana* (per person)
*Note: Before you freeze the bananas, peel them and cut into fourths. Freeze for at least a day (more days is better) before using in this recipe. Learn how to freeze your bananas here.
DIRECTIONS
- Place frozen banana in food processor and blend until smooth. Texture should resemble that of ice cream.
- Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
The “ice cream” tastes fabulous on its own, but below are some suggestions if you want to jazz it up a bit.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top for extra flavor
- Experiment with different fruit toppings (berries work great)
- Top with crushed pecans or walnuts
- Mix together raw cacao or cocoa powder + coconut oil + stevia to make a chocolate syrup you can pour on top.
