Jonsi’s raw raspberry pie

Happy December!!

The only thing that makes going to work in the dark, and leaving in the dark okay is the Christmas music I listen to during my short commute!  It’s sure starting to feel a lot like winter … scarves, brisk mornings, blowing wind, knee high boots, and hot beverages … ahhh :)

Has anyone ever tried “Yes to Cucumbers” shampoo/conditioner?  I’ve seen these “Yes to … “ products before, and saw they had a color care version and decided to try it out.  We’ll see how it goes!

Now as promised, back to this:

Raw Raspberry Pie

But first, a story behind it …

Erik had been listening to a lot of music by Jonsi, of Sigur Ros, (aka this guy):

And he soon discovered Jonsi & Alex … musician by day, raw foodie by night (or something like that, ha).  Either way, Jonsi & Alex’s raw strawberry pie caught Erik’s eye.

So we went to work!

Their recipe is on their website, where you can download a free mini recipe book called Good Heart Recipe Book, and watch some recipe videos.  But basically, here were the ingredients with one difference of raspberries instead of strawberries:

Crust:
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 cup dates
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- Pinch of salt

Filling:
- 2 cups coconut
- 2 cups frozen raspberries (or other fruit)
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- Pinch of salt

Directions:
Simply blend crust ingredients one by one, mix together, and flatten into pie pan.

Add blended filling mixture, refrigerate for two hours (or more), and EAT! 

Thanks, Jonsi & Alex!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! : ]
