Last night we had our raw demo and dinner at the Birch Center! I had so much fun -- what an amazing group of lovely people! Thank you so much for everyone who came, it was so much fun to get to spend time together like that.
I really enjoyed the Squash Soup. Here is the recipe for that:
3 cups peeled and chopped butternut squash
2 apples (peeled, chopped)
2 cups apple juice
2 cups water
6-ish dates
1+Tbsp cinnamon
nutmeg
some ice to keep cool while blending
Blend all ingredients in high speed blender until smooth. It was really good!
And someone earlier asked for the final recipe to the chocolate sauce. Here it is:
Equal parts:
hemp oil
honey or agave nectar (maybe slightly more sweetener if you want to hide the nutty taste of the hemp oil)
raw cacao powder
also: 1 tsp vanilla extract and sprinkle of salt
Mix.
We had it on top of an apple crumble: sliced apples topped with chopped pecans and dates.
