Raw Food Cleanse Day 3

So far this cleanse is Awesome!  Let's say it again, Awesome!  My two favorite recipes so far are listed below...the great thing is that they only take minutes to make.

Let's Make Desert First. (Well, this actually was my dinner.)

Apple Pie
Ingredients:
1/2 c almonds (presoaked 4-24 hrs as this makes them easier to digest)
4 dates
pinch Celtic Sea Salt or other salt
Dash Olive oil
2 apples, cored and chopped in quarters

In Blender or Food Processor:
Crust
Blend almonds for 1 minute
Blend in 2 dates (pitted)
Blend in pinch sea salt and olive oil
Filling
Blend 2 apples, 2 dates, olive oil, and salt

Mix all together

I also added dried cherries (no sugar added).  The menu said that the apples will provide calories while cherries are cleansing and nourishing on the cellular level and have abundant iron which is great for enriching our blood.

Kale and Salsa Wraps (Super Yummy)
I was amazed at how fast this was to make and how scrumptuous it was.

Mix for 2 to 5 seconds in a blender:
1/4 bunch cilantro
3 tomatoes, quartered
1 green onion
dash (I used 3 dashes) Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Olive oil
dash Celtic Sea Salt (or salt of your choice)
juice of 1/2 lemon

Wrap in Kale leaves

I could not get enough of this yummy recipe.  I was amazed at how fast and easy it was to make salsa. I just threw everything in the blender whole or in larger chunks and in a matter of seconds I had salsa.  In addition, I learned that Kale has the most nutrients per calorie of all foods.  I bought some amazing Kale Leaves at the Farmer's Market last weekend and boy were they yummy with this spicy salsa.

ENJOY!
