Raw Pistachio, Coconut & Lime Cheesecakes

March 11, 2015 · In: Sweet Treats

Raw/ Vegan/ Gluten free/ Dairy Free/ Processed Sugar Free

Pistachio, coconut and lime is the most delicious flavour combo! This is a recipe I just keep coming back to… it seems to always be a winner when I share this one with friends and family! limes are amazing in raw cheesecakes as they add that zest of freshness to this dessert! Limes are a citrus fruit that provides a number of benefits such as aiding in digestion, contain antioxidants (which help fight free radicals and protects your immune system) and are an excellent source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is great to boost our immune system and would also be a perfect dessert in winter when those nasty colds are going around!

Hope you enjoy this recipe! xx

    I was fortunate to have two of my girls spend the night with me recently. They insisted that we try our hand at your recipes. We picked this one and the zucchini pesto to try. We had a lot of fun preparing and devouring and enjoying your style. Just wanted to say “thank you” for a wonderful weekend. – M o M

    Hello. I am new to finding your site. I have recently gone back to a vegan lifestyle after having been told by a doctor in 2014 I needed meat in my diet as medicine for a thyroid condition. After given that advice and for one year staying on meat….life got much worse. I am happy to be back on a vegan diet which I was vegetarian for many years. I haven’t had a chance to find out a whole lot about you yet but I am looking forward to making some of your amazing desserts soon. I would love to have any feed back you may be willing to share. One of my biggest questions is how can I get more fat from raw/vegan food. I seem to be recently craving cheese and its the fat in cheese I am craving so I know my body is need more fat from raw foods. There has to be more than just avocados and nuts/seeds?? Blessings to you!

      Hi Crista, Welcome 🙂 really nice to meet you! Sounds like a very similar story to mine. I’ve been vegan for over a year now and it took me a while to find what was right for me. It’s hard to know why you are getting these craving without knowing exactly what you eat in a day… my guess would be that you may not be eating enough. Are you eating enough food?? Lots of vegan food such as rice, quinoa, lentils, oats, veggies (raw and cooked) and fruit? or are you 100% raw? It takes a while to find exactly what works for you but don’t give up! Looking forward to hearing from you again!

    Hi Tiana

    This slice looks amazing! Do you serve it straight from the freezer or does it benefit from some bench time before serving?

      Hi Candi:)
      Personally I would give it some bench time as it’s hard straight out of the freezer but either way it fine ! You can also store in the fridge and it will stay nice and soft:)

    Love this! Dates and coconut always make for a fantastic base, and it’s great to see a recipe without all the traditional ingredients. I included a link to your page on my round-up of creative cakes: http://www.shopbox.com/blog/creative-cake-ideas-for-your-bakery 🙂

Iron for babies and toddlers// Iron is important Iron for babies and toddlers//
 
Iron is important for children's growth, brain development and a healthy immune system! At around six months of age, babies iron reserves start to deplete and iron from solid foods is required to meet their additional needs. Because infants and toddlers consume small amounts at mealtimes, it's important to make each mouthful count by including an iron rich food at every mealtime.
 
How much iron do children need:
✨Infants aged 7-12 months babies require 11 milligrams of iron a day
✨Girls and boys aged 1–3 years require 9 milligrams of iron a day
 
I have provided a list of iron rich foods that you might find useful! As you can see there are lots of different foods that contain iron from both plant-based sources and animal sources! Just to note- Dried fruit,  and whole nuts and seeds are a chocking hazard for small children. You can ground nuts and seeds or use nut butters and add them to meals like porridge or smoothies. For babies under 12 months- dried fruit can be cooked or puréed.

What’s your favourite iron rich food!? 

Tiana xx

Weekend Baking🥣 🍌 Buckwheat & Almond Banana Weekend Baking🥣 🍌 Buckwheat & Almond Banana Bread (Gluten free + Vegan) 
A very rainy weekend called for some banana bread! This recipe is most delicious banana bread with no eggs or gluten (great for the whole family including family members with intolerances like mine)! I use a mixture of buckwheat and almond flour which are both grain-free, high in fibre, and a good source of plant based protein! You’ll find that this recipe doesn’t include loads of sugar and that is because bananas are naturally very sweet (tip: the riper the bananas the sweeter the bread will be). You can also get creative by adding some crushed nuts or choc chips to the mixture! Let me know if you make it! xx

* Dry ingredients:
* 1 cup buckwheat flour (I blended buckwheat groats to a flour) 
* 1/2 cup blanched almond meal
* 1 tsp. Baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
* 1 tsp. Cinnamon
* Wet ingredients:
* 1 cup mashed banana approx 3 medium bananas
* 1/3 cup non dairy milk
* 1/4 cup maple syrup
* 1/4 cup olive oil 
* 1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
* 2 chia seed eggs 2 Tbsp. Chia seeds + 6 Tbsp. Water
how to make: 
* Pre heat oven to 180*C
* Start by making the chia seed egg: in a small bowl mix together the chia seeds and water and set aside to thicken up.
* Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and set aside. Mix all the wet ingredients together (including chia egg) and add to dry mixture and stir until well combined.
* Line a loaf tin with baking paper and poor in the mixture. Optional: Top with some sliced banana!
* Bake for approximately 45 min and leave out to cool.
* I sprinkled with some hemp seeds and and a drizzle of maple syrup! Slice up and store in a container in fridge. Serving suggestion: heat up under grill and add a little ghee or honey/ maple syrup or cashew butter👌🏼 Enjoy! Xx

Starting Solids🥑🍌🍠 it’s time to start s Starting Solids🥑🍌🍠 it’s time to start solids for your baby, it’s and exciting time however it can come with some uncertainty and confusion about what and how to feed your baby. There is a lot of information online and you may receive different advice from family/friends and at times it can be overwhelming. You may of heard of  different methods of feeding your baby e.g. Baby-Led Weaning and Spoon-Feeding. I have put together some pros and cons for both Baby-Led Weaning and Spoon-Feeding in hope that you find what is right for you and your baby. Firstly, I thought it would be helpful to explain what these methods are: 

🥦Baby-Led Weaning is a fancy term for finger foods where purees and spoon-feeding are skipped entirely and babies are in control of what and how much they eat. 

🥣Spoon-Feeding is a method where the parent is in total control of feeding baby by bringing the spoon to their mouth. 

🥑🥣For me personally, I did a combination of both Baby-Led Weaning and Spoon-Feeding and found this worked well for me and my family (remember there is no best way to feed your baby, it’s finding what you feel comfortable with). 
I hope this information is helpful if your about to start your baby on solids. I would love to know what method worked well for you or what you have been thinking about starting with?? Let me know in the comments below! xx
