My First Gluten-Free Vegan Cookie Recipe

I came up with a simple recipe tonight that I have to share. I wanted a healthy cookie to take with me to work.

I blended (food processor) some walnuts and cashews up. It made a powdery dough texture. I then chopped up dates into tiny pieces. If your not really familiar with dates they’re a perfect substitute for sugar or honey. I added some flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. I soaked red quinoa and added some to the mixture. Quinoa is packed with protein.I put a dash of sea salt into the mix.

• 1/2 cup of walnuts
• 1/2 cup of cashews
• 4 dates chopped into pieces
• 2 tbs of flax and pumpkin seed and sprouted quinoa
• Pinch of sea salt
• Dash of cinnamon

After the mixture was together I formed the dough into balls like when you are making cookies. I put them into the oven  on 170 degrees and placed them on the top shelf for about 30 mins. They don’t hold together as well as regular cookie dough but they are good enough to bake. They are full of goodness. It is dairy, wheat and gluten-free and tastes amazing.

This is my very first vegan gluten-free cookie.  My husband even liked them.

A Healthy Raw Snack on the Go

When you’re diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis your life changes. Shari the founder and owner of “Two Moms in the Raw” started looking for healthier ways to live after being diagnosis in 2004. What she found was the body heals better when foods are raw and free of pesticides. Being a busy mom she was having a hard time finding a healthy snack to take on the go. After a few moms in her kitchen and a lot of experiments finally the perfect snack was created. I tried the GojiBerry Granola today. That is completely wheat and gluten free, it’s handmade from 100% raw, 100% organic, no added oils, no refined sugars. It looks like bird seed but taste like heaven. It’s sweeten with organic agave and a touch of cinnamon and a dash of sea salt. The ideal combination inside your mouth. It’s super yummy and good for you!

It’s hard to find a healthy snack to take on the go that taste amazing but “Two Moms in the Raw” have conquered it.
