A raw foods diet is made up of fresh, whole, unrefined, living, plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds, which are consumed in their natural state. By no means do I live by this, but I do love trying new recipes and incorporating raw foods into my lifestyle as much as possible. And that includes Chocolate Chip Cookies? YES please!! Here is a fantastic recipe that I tried today - no milk, sugar, flour, eggs or baking required!

Ingredients:
1 cup almonds
1 cup dates or raisins (I used raisins because they are less expensive and contain less sugar).
1/3 cup tahini (this can be found in your grocery store condiment aisle) 
2 1/2 table spoons cacao nibs or 100% cacao chocolate bar, broken into pieces. 
Pinch of salt (optional)

Steps:
1) Place almonds into food processor and pulse until finely ground (almost like flour, but not quite that much)
2) Add dates or raisins to the food processor until well-combined
3) Add tahini and pinch of salt to the mixture and pulse briefly until tahini is well-distributed 
4) Add the cocoa nibs and mix together with a spoon
5) Using your hand, form batter into small cookie shapes or balls. 
6) Enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

What Clients Are Saying

"I attended Sara's Free Spirit Yoga classes a handful of times. It was my favorite class offered at the studio because her energy was unique, uninhibited and seemed that she was able to offer every person in the room something to take away. It was an incredibly rejuvenating and enriching experience each time. Sara has had a profound impact on me in a way that is extremely uplifting and positive. She has provided me with practical tools on where to begin with creating a home space and practice for yoga. Sara is a beautiful soul with a light that shines bright in many ways."
