have raw cake and eat it
We eat this regularly. It is only about 60% raw but it is a great staple that is popular in our house and very quick to make. It is also a great transitional food for those who are experimenting with raw foods. You can get a lot of green into this recipe and my kids don’t seem to mind it looking green. It is a flexible recipe that allows for lots of variations so feel free to substitute what you have in your cupboard. Serves 4.
