These are SO incredibly delicious, no one will know that they’re packed with nutrition! The brown rice protein in the crust is optional – you can also use any protein powder of your choice. This recipe uses superfood powders from Prairie Naturals 

Ingredients

Crust
  • 3/4 cup Brazil nuts
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice protein powder, optional
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 teaspoons water
Filling
  • 2 cups raw cashews (or whole cashews)
  • 2/3 cup chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon red superfoods*
  • 1 tablespoon moringa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon aqua greens*

Instructions

  1. Grind the nuts, coconut, and protein powder to crumbs in a food processor.
  2. Add the raisins and process until they’re broken down.
  3. Add the water (use 1 1/2 teaspoons if not using the protein), and process to combine.
  4. Press into an 8×8″ pan. Set aside.
Filling
  1. Blend the cashews, rhubarb, water, maple, and vanilla in a high speed blender until smooth.
  2. Add the coconut oil and blend again.
  3. Separate the filling in half in 2 bowls.Whisk the red superfoods into half, and whisk the moringa and aqua greens into the other half.
  4. Pour blobs of each filling over the crust and then swirl them together with a chopstick.
  5. Place into the freezer for 4-6 hours and then into the fridge for 12 hours. Slice.

Notes

NOTE — Substitutions: I realize that many of you are around the globe and don’t have access to the red superfoods or aqua greens. Substitute 1 tablespoon beet root powder or any other red super food powder of your choice, and sub spirulina or chlorella powder for the aqua greens.
