MR. VITA-MIX STRIKES AGAIN

 
First the Mean (Imean tasty) Guac... turned a little too thin this time, so I used it mostly as salad dressing... YUM....:

Green Smoothie Goodness in the making:

AHHHHH, and the Smoothie Goodness... Perfect consistency... Perfect Taste... Perfect Color!

Just Perfect!!!

Frozen Bananas and Strawberries.... Ice Cream (without the cream) anyone???
 
 

I decided to make a mostly raw pie...But didn't have a recipe, and so just used all my favorite ingredients.  Hoping I would find some Goodness:

The Crust Fixin's are Dates, Coconut Shreds, Raw Macadamia Nuts and Raw Walnuts

All Mixed and mashed ready for the pan:

Ah, doesn't this crust look Yummy!  I wanted to just stop here and eat every bit... But I waited, patiently..

 Now for the pie filling fixin's... Dates, Coconut Shreds, Bananas, a dabble of lemon juice, and a dibble of vanilla:

All mashed and Mixed... Thank you Mr. Vita-Mix

And here.... Drum roll please.....  My Mostly Raw non-cream Pie banana/coconut Concoction:

ONE Problem....  it didn't harden like I hoped... so while eating this delicious goodness, it is more like pudding (as in eating with a spoon and not a fork) and crunchy nutty crust... And I'm OK with that!  So Tasty!  

Veg had a whole bowl of this for breakfast (fruit, coconut, good fatty nuts, protein and nutrients)  Plus his green filled smoothie (lots of nutrients and immune boosting power)... Granted if your a food combiner, this is NOT for you... 

And if you like pies that you can eat with a fork, this is NOT for you.... Guess I will be looking for more ingredients to make it a little more thick... If I find the perfect recipe, I'll post it here.
 
But Mr. Vita-Mix has provided many delicious treats this week...

Thank you Mr. Vita-Mix!

and now I am having Vita mix envy

I have been contemplating whether or not I need to actually pine for one or can I live and be happy without it.

I already learned I can live without a dehydrator....but a vita mix???

I did a raw banana coconut pie over the summer but it had to be frozen

and I made little "tarts" out of tofu and lemon curd and lemon juice that was to die for...and it firmed up in the fridge.

do you eat tofu? I don't eat it often..and now that I have eliminted so many processed foods I don't mind adding some soy back in.

just curious!

xo

(don't you LOVE serving PIE to your family for breakfast) you get to be QUEEN for a day and smile knowing it was great for them!

Hi Cindy,
Sorry for the envy :-( But man do I love my Vita-Mix, ha ha...

We have decided it paid for itself in the first couple months, so everything else for now until the end of its life is bonus.

As for tofu... yes I do eat soy and tofu but not as much as I used to since changing my diet... Your tart sounds delicious.

Oooh, didn't even think about the freezer... Wonder if I can do that now, or if it will just come out icy?? Hmmm? I think I must try it....

I thought about putting tofu in my pie to firm it up, but then it wouldn't be "raw" and that is what I was going for. I know I'm just missing one thing.... Because I see raw pies all over the web... I'll go in search for an ingredient :-)

I was gonna say... put it in the freezer!

[NEE NEE]

Looks Delicious..I bet I would enjoy that one.
