Delicious Raw Crumble - Australia Yoga Palm Beach Gold Coast

Delicious Raw Raspberry Crumble with 

Cashew Vanilla Cream Topping

*

I followed this delicious raw food recipe from alkalinesisters.com I added slices of banana to the raspberries. Their information, photo's and presentation is gorgeous as you can see. Try this recipe it is quick to make and packed full of nutrition.

  
The raspberries are full of antioxidants and are naturally low in sugar thus a minimal impact on blood sugars.  They are a good source of manganese, potassium, copper, vitamins B & C, and an excellent source of fiber.  Raspberries have almost 50% higher antioxidant activity than strawberries, three times that of kiwis, and ten times the antioxidant activity of tomatoes.

The variety of nuts in this recipe offer a wide variety of essential minerals including magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, and manganese.  They also contain fiber, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin E and manganese.  They are an excellent source of protein and are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and an excellent source of antioxidants. Regular intake of raw nuts in the diet are a healthy fat food for heart patients. And because of their high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, they also help support healthy levels of low good (HDL) cholesterol.

Soaking nuts increases their nutritional value as the nut sprouts and comes alive providing your body with living energy.  Soaking also allows your body to  absorb the nutrients more easily.  However in this recipe, except for the cashews, I have not soaked the nuts in order to achieve a dry crumbly mixture versus a softy doughy mixture but…. you could also try this.  Soak nuts for 1-2 hours or over night, drain, rinse, process in food processor and then dehydrate for a few hours til dry and crumbly.  This is the ultimate way to make this recipe but there is much more prep time required which of course is worth the time if you are organized to do so.  This recipe is also gluten free, an added bonus of using raw nuts versus oats with flour for the crumble.

The dried dates are a also good source of potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, and B vitamins.  They are low in fats and cholesterol and high in dietary fiber and carbohydrates.  Though their sugar content is high 63.4 grams/100 grams,  it is still considered a healthy snack, owing to its plentiful vitamin content.  However, I highly recommend consuming natural sugars in moderation and explain in further detail after the recipe in this post on raw tarts.
