RAW/ORGANIC/VEGAN CHOCOLATE TART!!!!!

Completely raw, and amazingly YUM!

I just throw a bunch of raw superfood powders in to give the tarts some taste dimension and extra vitamins but you can make the filling with only raw cacao powder and maple (and/or) agave syrup, and they will still taste great!


Ingredients: (* = Organic)

Filling: (Just mix everything together)
Raw Cacao Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Acai Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Lacuma Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Maca Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Goji Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Maqui Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Raw Camu Powder (Navitas Naturals *)
Pure Maple Syrup ((Grade A) Shady Maple Farms *)
Raw Blue Agave Nectar (Ohgave *)

Crust:
Filling (*)
Raw Almonds, Crushed (*)
Raw Pecans, Crushed (*)

Topping:
Raw Walnuts, Chopped (*)

Get out a piece of parchment paper to place the tarts on and mix the almond/pecan flour in with some of the filling and mold into tart shape. You can use a small bowl or just your hands to mold them into a small bowl-shape. The smaller (bite-sized!) the better. Then pour the filling into the molded flour mixture. Put some crunchy walnuts on top if you like them. Then place the tarts on the parchment into the fridge to chill for a while. I like them super cold because the filling gets fudge-y. Yum!! 

They're so delicious and you can have as many as you want because of all the nutrients you get from them. It's my "This-feels-wrong-but-is-so-right" snack!

If you try it let me know how it works for ya!

Thanks for reading and happy Mofo-ing to all of you!

Vegan MOFO 2012 #2!

Today I want to talk about a discovery that I made this week. I randomly found it whilst perusing the cereal isle at Whole Foods. I'm always trying to find something new without soy and I think I've found the ultimate childhood snack (In my personal opinion anyway!).

Vegan/Organic "Sugar Smacks"!!
(Nature's Path Organic Kamut Puffs)

The set-up. Obviously, I've eaten quite a bit of the cereal already! Read on for more pics.

Cereal with nutrition info.

What the bag looks like

Just One of the brands of Raw Agave that I like. (It has a pop-top so of course I love it!)

Do any of you remember eating sugar smacks as a child? It was one of my favorite cereals because well, it was my mom's favorite! The cereal is nothing but wheat BUT I like it that way because instead of ingesting loads of sugar, I can pour on some raw agave nectar (my favorite!). I know there is a lot of drama surrounding rice and all rice products right now (possible arsenic outbreak-google it), but Rice Milk is really my favorite so I splurged just a bit. Almond and coconut milk are really good too.

I know this post really isn't a recipe and doesn't have much detail but I had to tell someone about this find! Haha, I hope this helps anyone out there with a craving for "Sugar Smacks" cereal. Let me know if you can find it!
