Raw Food Recipe: Raw ‘Rolos’
I’ve heard so many people recently talking about how a vegan diet or raw food diet is limiting and how people couldn’t live without this food or that food – and I have to say that I just don’t agree.
I think a vegan diet and raw food diet are full of abundance, colour and life – nothing limiting about that!
So I have set out on a mission to recreate old favourites and to show that when you choose health and compassion you don’t have to compromise.
So I set to work in my kitchen and I’ve created something that I know you are going to love!!
Here is my version of Raw Rolos – I hope you enjoy them!
Ingredients
Chocolate
½ cup of melted coconut oil
½ cup of cacao powder
¼ agave syrup
Pinch salt
Caramel
½ cup of melted coconut oil
1/3 cup almond butter
½ cup agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lucuma powder (optional)
Pinch of salt
Equipment
Food processor/blender
Squeezy bottle with small nozzle
Chocolate moulds
Directions
Chocolate
Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk
Caramel
Blend all ingredients together until smooth
Place the caramel in the squeezy bottle
Assembly

Put the nozzle of the caramel container into the liquid chocolate and squeeze a small amount of caramel into the chocolate

Raw Food Recipe: Smoothie – Raspberry Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients for Chocolate and Raspberry Pudding
This recipe is perfect for when you want to feel really indulgent
Ingredients
2 bananas
1 cup of raspberries
Large handful of rocket
1-2 Tbsp of cacao or carob powder
Equipment
Blender
Directions
Place the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.
Helps to know
The rocket not only provides an excellent source of goodness to the recipe, but the peppery nature of the green makes a delicious addition to the pudding which works surprising well, creating a very tasty recipe with a kick.
Juicy Tip
If you use frozen raspberries it will have a creamier, more frozen pudding, texture.

If you do not have mesquite powder, you could add a sprinkling of cinnamon for a lovely flavour.
