CINNAMON ROLLS (RAW FOODS)



Cinnamon Rolls (Raw Foods) image

I found this in the newsletter from my local health food store. They got it from goneraw.com and say it's good with Recipe #339032 . They can be eaten right out of the refrigerator or warmed up in a dehydrator. The newsletter editor/raw foodist tops them with raw almond butter mixed with agave, vanilla, and sea salt or the aforementioned cashew icing. The "cooking time" is an estimate of the chilling time.

1 1/4 cups almond meal

  • Chill in the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch thick rounds.

RAW VEGAN CHOCOLATE FRUIT BALLS



Raw Vegan Chocolate Fruit Balls image

My mom and I make these raw fruit balls all the time and they are absolutely delicious. We use raw almonds, cashews and macadamias as our nutty blend. But you could use any nuts that tickle your festive fancy. Just know that each nut mix will yield a treat of a different personality. Roll out these vegan treats. They make great snacks in school or work lunch boxes; great power snacks for a long work out; or a great little bite to put beside a cup of herbal tea. These will last in a sealed glass container in the fridge for weeks. But they never do!
