A Book Review: Living in The Raw Desserts

Hey All, thanks for all the kind comments on my last post. I feel it is important to show how veganism can heal, it has helped me so much. I wasn't in anyway trying to alienate anyone. Like I said, whatever you need to try for your health, so be it. I am not going to argue with anyone about their own needs. I just feel that if others can talk about their changes in diet, why can't I talk about how the way I eat HAS healed me? Nothing "fake" there, just being fair to both sides of the spectrum! :)

Anyway, today I bring you a book review! I recently received "Living in the Raw Desserts" by Rose Lee Calabro. I was happy to see that the recipes were simple and didn't involve a lot of effort. Ha ha! As some of you know, I am not a big baker, raw or cooked. So I like when I can throw everything in the blender and voila, dessert!

I made two recipes from the book. First was banana pudding. This was super simple, creamy and delicious. 


Banana Pudding from Living in the Raw: By Rose Lee Calabro


2 cups young coconut pulp
2 large ripe bananas
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine coconut pulp, bananas, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a blender, and proccess until smooth, thick and creamy.Refridgerate 2 hours before serving. 

You can also layer with different fruit for a parfait! 

I also made "Magical Truffles" these are the perfect treat for the holidays! Again, another super simple recipe. Made with pecans and dried apricot. I saved a bunch in my freezer so I can pop one anytime I feel like something sweet.

Now, onto the fun part! If you click here, you can register for a chance at winning a free dessert book from BookPub Co! There are so many other books I want to check out that they are giving away!
