My Food Processor

A food processor is a very useful tool in the raw food kitchen. I use it for veggie rice, cake bases, and for grinding and cutting veggies. Therefore, I got a food processor fitted with an s-knife (sabatier blade) as well as with different cutting and shredding and slicing discs.

This one is similar to the one I use in Germany and while traveling in Europe.
This one I used while living in the US and Costa Rica.

In in love with raw vegan recipes. Raw food is not only super tasty and easy to prep, it is also incredibly versatile and exciting. Give one of my recipes a try.

My Blender and fav Jars

I like the Blendtec blender for its powerful but dull blades. It is easy to clean and it is safe. The big jar is perfect for smoothies and soups. The twisted jars are perfect for dry ingredients for making raw breads, cakes and crackers. I’ve used it for half a year now and am pretty happy with the results.

There are some significant shortcoming like with every other appliance, but compared to all the other blenders I’ve tried so far, it’s the best for me at the moment. However, I do not recommend or promote this blender due to various shortcomings.

Chocolate Milk

Sure, you can by vegan milks at a store, but it’s so easy to make your own raw vegan milk at home. Plan-based milks are not only tastier and healthier than cow’s milk, they are also so versatile and fun to make.
We used to love chocolate milk. The taste, the sweetness, the flavor of cocoa. Not the unhealthy ingredients of it or the animal-cruelty caused by the milk production for sure. So here is an amazing hemp-based alternative. It is healthier and even more delicious. There are so many more good non-dairy vegan substitutes for milk we will share with you this year!

Date, Agave, Honey? What is healthier

Dates are a healthier sugar alternative. It is better than agave or honey. Not that we are considering honey as a possible food, it’s a product bees invested hard labor in to have food for themselves and who are we to steel it, right?! Back to the date, dates are the best.
