Vegan raw vanilla apple pie

--> recette en français

    The full season of apples is almost at its end so I wanted to try a new recipe. Some eat them all year long but I don't think they taste really good in summer, also I eat enough apples all the rest of the year to enjoy all the yummy fruit Summer has to offer.

   I'm an apple pie fan, yes, the most simple recipes are often the better ! But this time, I'm taking you to towards raw cuisine. We talk about living food because vitamins and nutrients are not damaged through the process of cooking - because there's no cooking obviously or it doesn't go beyond 40°c (100°f).

Orange mango immune booster Winter smoothie (turmeric, ginger, cardamom and baobab)

--> recette en français

    Let's begin this week with a vitamins packed smoothie, because it's good and to fight the bad weather of March, between Spring and apocalyptic rainy days.

   At first, I had tried this smoothie with fresh orange juice and it was delicious but I thought it would be interesting to use the whole orange flesh in order to add more fibers that help to digest and make you feel hungry later because they regulate the carbohydrates and lipids. Mango is also a fruit rich in fibers but also antioxidants (and it's my favorite exotic fruit). 

Protein-packed home made super food red fruit muesli (gluten free)

--> recette en français

    When I went to buy some groceries at my usual organic store lately, I stumbled upon some "protein-packed" muesli with dried red fruit of a little French brand. I was ready to go for it and try but the high price wasn't within my food budget at all.


   So I bought what I needed and didn't already have at home to make it myself with additional ingredients I like. This muesli is said "protein-packed" because of the super food but most of all the toasted soy flakes there are because they bring 40 g of protein for 100 g of muesli.

Strawberry, raspberry, banana, almond milk and baobab vegan smoothie

--> recette en français

    Today, this is a new smoothie "recipe" I share with you. It's always an occasion to hydrate oneself and add some fruit to our daily need, we can create so many combinations that we can rarely get bored with smoothies.


   The first French strawberries called Gariguettes have already arrived, indeed we had a mild Winter weather so they are quite early this year. They are very savory and you can eat them just like that without any sugar. I'm eager to go back to the self pick-up place near where I live to pick up strawberries, raspberries, cherries and summer vegetables.

Apple pie rice pudding seeds granola parfait (vegan, gluten free)

--> Recette en français ici.

    Last week, I took part to a monthly food culinary challenge and this month's theme was about seeds we had to use in our recipe in addition to a seasonal fruit or vegetable.

   As my father's birthday was last Wednesday, I decided to mix two of his favorite desserts, the rice pudding and the apple pie, in a jar. I made an apple granola full of seeds and dried fruit for the "crust" in put at the bottom of the jar, a vanilla vegan (or not) poppy seed rice pudding, topped with a vanilla apple compote.
