shedd aquarium: I'm eating raw now, and I need some good recipes that don't require a blender/processer|||It's tough. You should really try to get a food processor. They are less than $50 and make a world of difference. To answer your question, though, there are certainly some raw recipes that you can make without a blender or food processor: 1. Avocado bowl: 1 avocado 鈥?perfectly ripe, a little firm still 陆 cup grated carrots 录 cup freshly alfalfa sprouts 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 garlic clove 鈥?pressed or finely chopped 录 teaspoon sea salt 录 teaspoon curry powder Grate carrots by hand and place in bowl. Add sprouts to bowl. Gently chop avocado and place avocado chunks on top of carrots and sprouts. In a separate bowl, add remaining ingredients together and mix vigorously with a spoon. Pour mixture over avocado bowl and mix gently. Eat with a fork! Avocado bowls make a great meal or snack. As far as desserts go, you could certainly try making chocolate bark! Chocolate bark - Ingredients 1 cup coconut oil (also known as coconut butter) 戮 cup cacao powder 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 戮 cup raisins 1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds In a brownie dish, combine liquefied coconut oil and cacao powder and mix well. Add vanilla, raisins and chopped almonds and stir. Ensure equal distribution. Place in freezer for twenty minutes and the mixture will have hardened. Store in freezer or refrigerator. This mixture will liquefy at room temperature, so consume right away after removing from fridge or freezer. Coconut oil/butter will liquefy at above-average room temperature. If your coconut oil/butter is solid, simple spoon out 1 cup of coconut oil/butter and place in small bowl. Put the small bowl inside another bowl of hot water. It will liquefy. Stir to help it along. Also, don't ever forget that raw fruit, like crisp green grapes, blueberries, cherries, or your other favorite fruits are one of the best and easiest things to eat! Hope that helps!
