Agave is still a refined sugar. It's a cute video, but for a healthy body, all sugars should come in the form they are found in nature -- fruit. Dried fruit is more than sweet enough for any raw dessert creation. Try putting dates and raw almonds and/or raw oats in the food processor and blending into a paste and then putting it down the spines of celery.
The label on that almond butter says "raw," but so do the almonds you buy in the store in the U.S. They are not TRULY raw and are heated to beyond what raw foodies consider raw. They can call them raw because they're not roasted. I called the company, and verified they are not TRULY raw.
But so cute, and my kids just love to see other kids making kid-friendly raw-food vids.
@sparklemichele : You can just make it yourself! If you have a Champion juicer, a Vitamix, or an Omega juicer, you have the ability to do it. You have to research online to find the almonds which are really raw.
Please keep adding more "kid friendly" Steven approved recipes. I am partly vegan and raw vegan. I can't get my son (4) to try much of anything. Eccept, he does like an avocado, raw cacao chocolate pudding I make AS LONG AS he doesn't see me make it!!
Hi Steven, way to go! you have inspired my 7 and 4 year old boys to make a video of one of their favourite smoothies. THey are vegan and are eating more and more raw food because their mommy and daddy are raw vegans. check out the video by gorawkidsgo.
I'm so working on that right now. I have notice Steven is very simple just plain fruit. I try to keep fruit around grapes, bananas, kiwi, apples,etc. We'll post as we make new fun recipes.
awesome :-) i was a vegan, but just recently became a raw vegan. thanks for the snack idea! i needed that. i've only been eating salads and snacking on fruits and nuts. so this gives me something a little more TASTY!
Cutest.. thing.. ever..

Adorable. But bad news. Maranatha isn't raw. They use pasturized almonds(boo to maranatha)

Great! Very cute. More children should have this kind of diet, but don't look to the school system for any help!

Thank you for the clarification MaryKay. I have no clue where to get truly raw almond butter. I know it will take some online research.
If I can't find truly raw butter I will still use what I can get a hold of as I feel it is better than a big mac... :)
Thanks again!!!

Hi, nice job! Just remember to check the almond butter ingredients,... most almond butters are made with "roasted" almonds :-))

Great thanks. I'll share too if we come up with any the kids like. Here is one Kali Angel made (with help to process) she liked it but Xavier didn't.
1 c almonds (unsoaked)
1/2 c dates (pitted)
4 tbs goji berries
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 vanilla (we used maple syrup)
1/4 c water
Process all then roll into small balls and coat with cinnammon.
