Ingredients
* Flesh of 1 young coconut (or small tin of coconut cream)
* 6 medium sized strawberries
* 1 medium ripe mango
* 1" piece of vanilla pod
* Water from young coconut (or pure water if using coconut cream)
Directions
1) Simply blend all ingredients thoroughly until a thick but bit-free consistency is achieved.
2) Pour into a tall glass, add ice if preferred and enjoy
RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS:
* Use frozen fruit if you prefer a much cooler drink or add ice instead of water in the original blend. If the drink is too thick for you, simply add more water until it's the way you like it!

At this time of year you might want something thick and creamy to drink but that still tastes lighter than a heavy nut-milk if you're trying to lighten your load. I adore vanilla, so having a shake revolve around it is definitely a good thing as far as I can see! This shake feels very nourishing to the soul. Its creaminess is soothing, its "warm" taste welcoming. Yes, this is a "pleased to see you" drink that you'll want to welcome on a regular basis - and what's more it's packed with bone-strengthening calcium. Drink it in!
Ingredients:
* 1 cup sesame seeds
* 2 large bananas
* 2 cups water
* 3 Medjool dates OR 3 Tablespoons agave nectar
* 1 Tbsp vanilla essence OR ½-1 vanilla pod
RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS:
* If you'd like to add more flavour to this basic mix, try playing with varying amounts of any (but not all) of the following: mesquite powder, coconut butter, cacao nibs or raw carob powder.
Directions
1) Place all ingredients into a blender and blend on full power until all of the sesame seeds are fully broken down. [NB: Owing to the size of the seeds this may be hard to do - if you prefer no lumps at all you will need to mill the seeds in a nut mill before blending with the other ingredients.]
2) Taste test for sweetness and add more dates or agave if required.
3) When you have your perfect blend, write it down, pour it out and find a soft spot on your lounge floor. Bury yourself in cushions and sip, slurp or savour, depending on your mood.
This recipe is delicious, satisfying and tastes too good to be healthy. But it is all of the above and quite simply you'd be crazy not to try it (unless you have a nut allergy, of course...)
Ingredients:
* 1 measuring cup of pecan nuts (125g/4oz)
* 3 measuring cups of pure water (app. 700ml)
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (or piece of vanilla bean)
* 2 Medjool dates
* 2 Tablespoons of dark agave nectar (use 2 more dates if you don't have this)
Directions
1) Blend your pecans with the water until no pieces left, then strain into a tall jug ready for stage 2.
2) Pour the "clean" milk into the clean blender and add the vanilla, dates and/or agave nectar.
3) Blend thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
4) Serve and smile!
RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS:
* This will keep for roughly a day in the fridge. Try making a less runny version, pour it into a Tupperware container or ice-cream maker and freeze it for a deliciously decadent ice-cream.

Know Your Ingredients:
Arame Seaweed
Arame has a mild pleasant taste. It blends well with other flavors and is a rich source of iron, calcium, zinc and iodine. Arame is also a good source of lignans which help fight cancer. (Source: http://www.annecollins.com/diet_foods/arame-seaweed.htm)
You may purchase arame at your local health food store or from Eden Foods via internet at: http://www.edenfoods.com
Combine in a bowl the following ingredients:
2 cups chopped endive (Belgium endive, purple, or green)
1 small avocado
juice of ½ lemon
½ cup arame, soaked for 1 minute in cold water and drained
¼ jalapeno pepper thinly diced
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)
No salt needed

Ingredients Directions RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS:
* 3/4 head of lettuce (any type, though you'll need 2-3 heads if using Little Gem lettuce)
* 1 ripe avocado
* 2-3 large tomatoes
* Large chunk of cucumber
* Handful of pre-soaked dulse seaweed (soak for about 15 minutes)
* DRESSING: 1 Tablespoon raw almond butter, the juice of ¼ lemon, ¼ cup water. Handful of fresh coriander (cilantro)
1) Finely shred the lettuce into thin strips using a sharp knife or mandoline and place in a large bowl.
2) Dice the avocado, tomatoes and cucumber into medium sized pieces (approximately 1½ cm square) and add to bowl.
3) Tear the dulse into small prices and add to bowl.
4) Make the dressing by blending the above ingredients and pouring over the ingredients inside the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly.
5) Serve and enjoy!
* If you don't like dulse in strips, try dulse flakes or "Atlantic Sea Salad" a sea veg mixture.
Finding delicious recipes that include sea vegetables can sometimes be tricky. Dulse seems to be one the few sea vegetables that most people like and is extremely high in much needed minerals. This salad is one of those where you can feel the goodness pumping through your veins. I LOVE this recipe!

Makes 1-2 servings
Ingredients:
For the fruit salad
* A selection of your favourite fruits chopped up into bite-sized pieces and put into a bowl, or organised beautifully on a plate.
For the cream
* One handful of raw macadamia nuts
* Juice of half an orange (or a whole one depending on juiciness)
* 2-4 large Medjool dates (or 4-8 smaller soaked ones)
* Small piece of vanilla bean (optional)
Directions
1) Prepare your fruit salad using a wide range of fresh juicy fruits of your choice. A good starter mixture might be: Banana, orange, apple, strawberries, nectarines and blueberries.
2) Next, make your topping by blending all "cream" ingredients together until a thick creamy mixture is created.
3) Taste test before using. Add more of whatever you need according to your tastes. You might want to add a pinch of healthy salt just to bring out the flavours a little more.
4) Serve your fruit salad and top with a good healthy dose of the macadamia cream. I promise you'll love me forever for this!
RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS:
* The Macadamia Cream recipe will keep for about 2- 3 days in the fridge.
* Great for topping some breakfasts for something a bit more sustaining, or why not throw a tablespoon or two in your fruit smoothie?
