Raw Vegan Blueberry Pancakes and Hemp Milk



Blueberry Pancakes
Inspired from Everyday Raw.
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 ripe banana
1 cup raw pecans, soaked 2 hours
1 cup pine nuts, soaked 2 hours

1/4 agave nectar, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup maple syrup


Blend all except blueberries in high speed blender until smooth. Taste batter for sweetness. (It will sweeten more upon dehydrating.) Stir in blueberries by hand. Spread evenly in 4 inch rounds onto Teflex sheet. Dehydrate 12 hours; flip and dehydrate 12-24 more hours. Serve warm out of the dehydrator.


Hemp Milk
1/2 cup raw hemp seeds
1 1/2 - 2 cups filtered water
½ cup agave nectar
Pinch of sea salt
1 t vanilla extract, optional


Process seeds and water in blender until smooth. Do not strain. Add remaining ingredients; taste for sweetness.

The Best Cranberry Pecan Salad with Raw Mustard Dressing


This is based off of my step-mothers cranberry-pecan salad. It's amazing! I don't know where she originally got it, or if she made it up herself, but here's my version:
1 bag romaine, in bit sized pieces (or other desired lettuce)
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup clementine orange sections
1/4 - 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced


Toss with:
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons cranberry white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tsp raw dijon mustard* or prepared dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons raw agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds, optional


Check seasoning.


For raw dijon mustard:
Ingredients:
¼ cup organic brown mustard seeds, soaked 24 hours
1 cup raw apple cider vinegar
¾ cup hemp seeds
2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon turmeric


Preparation:
Blend in Vitamix until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
