Raw Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Recipe
If, like me, you enjoy a semi-sweet dessert that is kind to the digestion and expanding for the heart, you might enjoy this one. I did some research on raw vegan cheesecake recipes and used the one with the least amount of ingredients (all natural), added a few flavor-enhancing plants and combined our previous recipe for cacao energy balls as the crust. As usual, remember to taste as you make and adjust proportions to your preferences. Make it your own. Ingredients: For Filling –
For Crust –
Instruments:
Steps: For the Crust… 1.In a strong blender or food processor, blend the walnuts until it’s a crumbly powder texture. Then, blend in the dates and cacao powder, until it’s all a textured paste. Depending on the size of your machine, you may need to do half the amount or less at a time. 2.With your hands, roll the dough you’ve blended until it’s rather evenly mixed and smooth it out onto a pie pan, shaped into a pie crust. 3.Cover and place in fridge. For the Filling… 1.Blend the drained cashew nuts until it’s generally a crumbly paste and set aside. If it’s too dry, you might add a tablespoon of the cashew water at a time (maximum 12 Tbs). 2.Blend the raspberries until pureed. 3.Add the cashews to the raspberries, long with the maple syrup, lemon juice (Try one lemon at a time, taste it and decide if you’ll want two lemons.) and salt. Blend together until it has a creamy texture. Altogether… 1.Pour the filling into the pie crust. 2.Decorate on top by placing other berries and pistachios as you please. I had fun sticking a pistachio nut in each raspberry hole. Finally… 1.Cover and freeze overnight. 2.Thaw before enjoying. Bless your raw vegan cacao berry cheesecake with lots of love, gratitude and the energy you’d like to receive as it enters your body. Remember all the plants, earth elements, harmonizing creatures in the ecosystems, humans and everything that went into the creation of this food. Enjoy with love!

Delicious! I love the peace symbol decoration as well and include a prayer for global peace. I have a peace proposal for Peace in the Middle East that involves living a raw vegan lifestyle! What do YOU think about this plan? Studies showed inmates in prison fed vegan diets no longer acted violently towards others (or themselves!) Peaceful coexistence is accepting and non-judgementalal, observing, and encompassing, and moderate. No room for extremism or prejudice types of sentiments. Thank you Professor Michelle Chua from your CSUN yoga student

REviews of Root 2 Rise Yoga with Michelle chua:Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people! Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it. Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul... Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging... My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago. You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart. With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class. I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too. |

I'm so grateful to have met Michelle! Her kind energy opened up my interest in pursuing yoga and meditation. She is such an incredibly light and soul. She starts with grounding ourselves through mindfulness and breathing exercise. She brings the most authentic energy to the class by sharing the history and understanding behind poses, names, and techniques. I truly appreciate her work and impact on my well-being! I’ve had dozens of instructors over the years, but Michelle is far and away the best yoga mentor I’ve ever practiced with. She epitomizes grace during these difficult times. Michelle has saved my sanity and my back while working from home, keeping me grounded with her sharing of yogic teachings and meditation techniques. Her repertoire of physical asanas is encyclopedic, and I’ve loved learning new poses and stretching my boundaries. Jump in, all. You’ve got this! |
