AMAZING!!!!!!!! Michael and I loved these!!! Growing up in a Jewish household halvah was always one of our go-to desserts and this is a fabulous raw substitute 🙂 I know when I make these for my family they are going to freak! These were (as in they are already gone haha) one of the best cookies ever! I used frozen raspberries and the raspberry sauce tasted sooo fresh and soo BRIGHT! YUMM!!! Plus how cute are they !?!??! Try these asap and let me know what you think.
Halva Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies
These were thankfully inspired by Ani Phyo’s Halva Chia Thumbprint Cookies
Raspberry Sauce:
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/3 cup pitted semi-soft Medjool dates
1/8 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup water
Combine well in blender. Chill till ready for use.
Cookies:
3/4 cup flax seed powder
1/2 cup tahini
3/4 cup almond meal
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pitted semi-soft Medjool dates
Recipe for Raspberry Sauce
Combine dry ingredients with tahini in a food processor and mix well. Add in dates and mix till combined. Roll dough into 10-15 balls. Place on sheet preferably lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb to make an indentation into the center of each cookie. Fill each with generous amount of sauce. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 min. or more to firm up. Will keep for several days or many weeks stored separately from jam if you can keep them that long haha 🙂 Enjoy!!!
These are the cookies up close, so easy to make!

The raw corn cakes are deelish! As I have probably mentioned before I love Corn!!! I know this is a bit late for fresh corn but I wanted to go ahead with this anyway. It was such a great success! Deelish!!!!
Raw Corn Cakes
around 5-6 cakes
3 ears of fresh corn, cut off the cob
1 jalapeño, seeded
1/4 cup red bell pepper
1/2 cup cashews
1 shallot
1 garlic clove
Celtic sea salt to taste
Blend all ingredients until combined but still slightly chunky. On a teflex sheet make 2 tablespoon rounds and dehydrate for 8-10 hours at 115 degrees. (make sure to flip after 4 hours)
I also made a pesto sauce to go with the cakes but it really was not necessary. The cakes were more than delicious on their own.

I love all things chia. I am sure you have seen my many posts on Chia and all the fun recipes you can make with it. Chia Seed Pudding, Sweet Double Coconut Chia Pudding, Holiday Chia Pudding, and Banana Date Chia Pudding. (wow, I totally love Chia!!)
Here is a super simple recipe that barely takes any prep time to make (although you do have to let it sit overnight). For me this chia recipe is super simple… I mix it at night and in the morning all I have to do is cut up a mango and I am ready to go 🙂 Love it! Super simple and deelish!
Mango Chia Goodness
4 servings
2 cups vanilla almond milk
1/3 cup chia seeds
1 mango diced
Combine chia seeds with almond milk and whisk. Let sit for 10 minutes and stir again to avoid clumps. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning dice a mango and add to chia pudding. Enjoy 🙂

Chocolate-Covered Katie came up with this great idea of mixing peanut butter and bananas to make a deelish Banana Butter! Adding the banana makes an amazingly spreadable and much lower calorie butter. You can make it thinner or thicker depending on the amount of nut butter you use. This recipe is so simple yet so super enjoyable!
I know this would be great with any nut butter but because I had just “made” my deelish Agave Pecan Butter I thought this was perfect time to use it. The butter was the perfect dip! We enjoyed this with apples and with pita chips as well. So creamy and sooo deelish!!
Katie, I totally want to be a member of your band 🙂 This is so fabulous!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie’s Banana Butter
Makes about 1.5 cups
- 2 bananas
- 8 tablespoons of nut butter
Super simple…. just blend together and enjoy!

Sometimes while making a recipe in your head it doesn’t always come out as planned. But sometimes you are left with a welcome surprise. That is how I came up with the Agave Pecan Butter. It is a great, super smooth spread and still raw! You don’t often see super smooth raw spreads and this one is a good one. I wish all mistakes were this successful haha! Of course if you want less butter half or quarter the ingredients. This is a great dip for apples or substiute for any nut butter.
Agave Pecan Butter Surprise
3 cups Pecans
1/4 cups Agave
1/2 cups Water
dash of celtic sea salt
Blend the pecans till a fine flour and then until it forms a butter. Add the agave, water and salt and continue processing until smooth and deeelish!

Another breakfast treat 🙂 I had to call this munchy cereal because if you are like me you will have a hard time leaving this one just for breakfast. It is so good!!! It is also deelish without the dehydrator as well. I am sure you good sprinkle this on top of yogurt for a great treat or eat it plain with almond milk or just munch on it on its own. This is such a great combo of sweet, salty, crunchy and chewy! mmmmm
Pre-Dehydrator Munchies
After the dehyrator and ready to munch 🙂
Chocolate Coconut Munchy Cereal
4 cups of dried coconut
1/3 cup of cocao nibs
1 teaspoon of celtic sea salt
1/2 cup of honey or agave
1/4 cup of pitted dates
In a food processor combine the dried coconut, cocao nibs and sea salt. Process until fine. Add the honey and dates and process until well combined. Empty the processor onto a teflex dehydrator sheet and dry at 115 degrees for 12-15 hours.

When I make corn chips I normally do not make them so smoothly pureed but I thought this would be fun. These are so good and they are essentially just corn and jalapeno! How awesome is that! I started out with 2 sheets but we ate the first one as soon as they were done 🙂 I also normally score my chips but these we just broke into pieces. So simple and so good. This is such a great snack.
After you take it out, just break into pieces and ENJOY 🙂
Raw Just Corn Chips
4 cups frozen and thawed corn
2 jalapeno pepper, deseeded
2 tsp salt
1/2-1 cup water
In a Vita-mix or blender puree corn, pepper and salt adding water as needed.
Spread onto teflex dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for 8-12 hours. Once it is no longer sticking to the sheets flip over and dry the other side for 4 hours more. Break into pieces and enjoy!

I had read Sarma’s post on banana milk and thought it was pure genius!! I figured I could sweeten my almond milk the same way. I normally use sweeteners like agave and honey, but I loved how simple it was to sweeten this pudding with just dates and bananas. So fabulous! I have to tell you this was one of my Favorite Chia Puddings ever! SOOO GOOD! Breakfast is such a good meal!! Now that I am fully hooked I wonder how I ever lived without it 🙂
Love this Breakfast!!
Banana Date Chia Pudding
serves 3-4
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups almond milk
2 bananas
5 dates, pitted
a few dashes cinnamon
a pinch of salt
Place the chia seeds in a bowl. In a Vita-mix blend together the almond milk, bananas, dates, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the chia seeds and whisk together with a fork. Let it sit for 10 minutes in the fridge and then whisk again to get rid of any clumps. Cover and set in the fridge overnight. In the morning whisk one more time and then enjoy!! Yum Breakfast!!!!
I looked up the nutrition stats again 🙂 I hope this helps out!
