Prune Smoothie

Here is another simple smoothie recipe. Prunes added an extra nice taste. My kids loved it, and so did I.

Eating a one-quarter-cup serving of prunes, or about four prunes, provide you with 12 percent of the daily value for fiber, 32 percent of the DV for vitamin K, 9 percent of the DV for potassium and 27 percent of the daily value of vitamin A.

To make this smoothie, you will need:

1 ripe Mango

10 ripe bananas

6 prunes (soaked in water overnight)

1 cup of water

Preparation:

Put all ingredients into your Vitamix. Select Variable 1. Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to 10, then to High.
Use tamper to press the ingredients into the blades if required.
Blend for about 1 minute or until smoothie reaches desired consistency.

Serve and enjoy!

Raw Fruity Cookies

Last weekend Ben and I decided to prepare some healthy cookies. We have had a dehydrator for a while now, but we don’t use it very often. So the first time we tried to make sweet raw dehydrated fruit cookies. They turned out very well and were gone within a day.

To make cookies you will need:

6 apples

2 persimmons (Sharon Fruit, Kaki)

3 bananas

For toppings we used : dried coconut, sunflower seeds, bee pollen, and grated apple.

Preparation:

Add apples, persimmons and bananas into your food processor and process till you get an even paste.

Pour the paste onto your Teflex Sheet like you would make small pancakes.

Then sprinkle your cookies with different toppings.

Put your dehydrator on 41 degrees and dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours. After 2-3 hours I removed the Teflex sheets to allow more air circulation.

Enjoy!
