Lovely, Light, Lively! Lecithin to bind built up excess fats and psyllium husks for some spring cleaning.
3 cups fresh harvested spring water
2 tbls coconut flakes
3 tbls sesame seeds
1/2 frozen raspberries
1 tbls lecithin granules
1 tbls xylitol
1 tsp psyllium husks powder
drops of vanilla stevia
Blend coconut flakes and sesame seeds well and then strain. Rinse your blender.
Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well.
Easy right?!
You can replace the stevia and vanilla stevia with pure honey which makes it even more rich.
Yeah that sounds about right, but hey! dont measure anything. If you add more or less then it will be all good :) Its a sad day when you gotta measure anything out :)!
Yeah I used to be really strict with raw but not anymore. I'm not going to stress out if I have something that is not raw. Restriction and constant monitoring of my food became quite obsessive and I suffered immensely from it. If I am 85-95% raw I am happy. The lecithin that I use is non GMO. Xylitol is not a zero cal sweetener. It has calories but has no sugar. Of course you could substitute the xylitol and omit the lecithin. The again agave isnt really raw at all. Your best bet would be some nice raw local honey!
xylitol is a calorie-free sweetener. I was just going to sub in agave for that since i dont have any.
Xylitol and lecithin are not raw, and most lecithin is from GMO soy you can buy organic but there is a lot of controversy coming up now as to whether there truly is any fully organic soy or corn since it has been grown so predominantly as gmo for so many years. I just looked up Xylitol and most sources are hardwood and maize(corn). I am sure there are things that could be substituted to make this without those ingredients.
Good Question Danifon
Is lecithin raw? What about xylitol? Not questioning the integrity of your recipe, I am more interested in finding new raw options. I used to buy a liquid lecithin when I baked, I didn't know it came in granules.
is that half a bag of raspberries? this looks yummers!
