One of the hardest parts of transitioning into a “healthy” lifestyle for me was giving up sweets. But, I’ve found that after a year of detoxing, sugar and refined desserts just don’t cut it for me anymore. Once you really clean out your body, your taste buds can recognize impurities in your food.
This passed Saturday I took the tiniest bite of one of my old-time faves, a mint chocolate square from Marshall Field’s (Chicago). It seemed gritty and definitely not sweet enough for my tastes. I then walked two and a half miles just to get a raw lemon bar from a local raw bakery.
A rich raw treat can satisfy your cravings, without filling your body with toxic waste. If you’re transitioning into a detox or have completed a detox, I suggest learning a bit about making raw desserts. Many of them are made with spouted grains and nuts, which provide enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
This is a very sweet beginner’s recipe. Ani Phyo uses dates, soaked almonds, vanilla bean, chopped dried pineapple and coconut flakes to make delicious donut holes. The recipe requires just a bit of blending and mixing, and can be done in minutes. I like it because it doesn’t require hours of dehydrating, like so may other raw recipes.
