In fact making a raw berry pie does not require turning on the oven and can be made in virtually minutes. I have often timed myself and can make this pie in ten minutes or less if the ingredients are assembled. Equipment: food processor.
This is my own creation, one of many vegetarian, vegan and raw food recipes that I have developed and created over the past few years as a raw fooder - eating raw foods, having cured myself of breast cancer, fibromyalgia, arthritis and sinus infections along with many other ailments.
You can use the pie crust for dozens of other types of raw food recipes or live pies including raw or live apple pie. I’ve experimented with dozens of variations and tried various ingredients but I’ve found this raw blackberry or blueberry pie recipe is the best, fastest and easiest recipe to make. In fact if you’re going to have company coming over you can whip this free raw food diet recipe up in no time.
Helen’s Best Raw Berry Pie - the ingredients: 12 organic medjool dates, 1 cup raw pecans, 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, blackberries or boysenberries and 2 bananas.
For the crust put 1 cup of raw pecans in a food processor and grind until fine. Add 8 pitted organic medjool dates and process until mixed fairly well. Place into a 9-inch pie plate.
For the binder mix two bananas, 8 berries or so for color and 4 medjool dates in a food processor - use the same food processor - don’t need to wash it. Remove to large bowl and carefully fold in 4 cups of fresh or frozen or partially frozen blueberries, boysenberries or blackberries. Spread berry-binder mixture on top of the crust. Decorate with boysenberries or blackberries around the edge of the pie. Refrigerate.
This live or raw berry pie is a family favorite and one I have served on many occasions to company who are not aware they are eating something healthy containing all the vibrant nutrients - nothing cooked out.
This pie is really good with boysenberries too. You can also slice some fresh kiwi on the top or other fruits that won’t turn color.
One nice thing to know about fixing any raw food recipe is that you can eliminate, substitute or add ingredients easily and it will still taste delicious! In this vegan or raw food diet recipe - you may only have one banana on hand for example or you can make half the recipe. You can substitute the pecans for a mixture of one half cup pecans and one half cup walnuts, or all walnuts.
If you live in an area where you have tons of wild blackberries you can make this pie for pennies. Pick blueberries cheaply in the summer and freeze them for year-round use, although fresh berries are always the best. You can make raw berry pies with this free raw food recipe year-round and you’ll feel good too knowing you have served your friends and family something that will help them better their health and help them lose weight if they need to too.

Healthy Cooking Recipes-Eat Your Way To A Better Health

By Abhishek Agarwal

If you’ve been longing to change over to healthier eating habits and hoping to knock off some extra kilos, then choosing healthy cooking recipe ideas and adapting to a fitness-friendly lifestyle is what is needed! You can add more zest, time and energy to your lifestyle besides feeling fitter and looking that way too, once you’ve found the answer to putting together the perfect healthful menu for yourself and your family that ensures your balanced nutrition for the day - and we’ve made this task easier for you by listing some smart ways to make this eating choice simpler and effective.

Putting together a healthy cooking recipe is a fairly simple task; at most, you may be required to drop a couple of ingredients off a recipe or use low-fat or low calorie substitutes to make a favorite dish! This is not as difficult as some may think it to be as simple measures like cutting out the butter from a vegetable dish doesn’t mean you do without the flavor entirely: you can margarine or low-fat butter substitute for a great tasting idea!

Those who wan to broaden their knowledge base of varied cuisine styles and methods can look up different ideas online and are sure to find more than one; other options include visiting the local bookshop for cook-books and nutrition guides. These are some of the ways in which you can improve your lifestyle and overall wellness levels too.

Many people equate a healthy cooking recipe with insipid or bland food, but this is not true, if you know how to use healthy ingredients and substitute fatty ones with less greasy or fattening stuff. For example, butter and cream-based foodstuffs are fattening but because of their taste, people love them and are not willing to try out the alternatives, which they feel will not tantalize the palate as much as these. But there are many wonderful healthy cooking recipe ideas that include low fat options that taste good too. We list some for you:

A fresh salsa contains many healthy ingredients like tomatoes, cilantro, onions besides other food items that are good for the body; it has a great flavor and very little fat content, if at all and one can eat them with vegetable sticks instead of tortilla chips to cut back on unnecessarily loading up the calories and fat. So, here’s a great low-fat, great tasting food idea for you!

Adding salsa to fillet of fish prior to baking it gives a great tasting marinade that is light and healthful besides adding to the nutrient content of the meal. It’s also a simple and easy dish to prepare as all that is required is to place salsa atop the filet, bake it or jazz up a salad with it as opposed to drowning it with fatty, cheesy dressing.
