Best Cookies Ever - Raw Cuisine by Melissa Henig and Jon Ham
Here's Jon Ham -- http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com and Melissa Henig http://www.rawfoodstylist.com whipping up a raw cookie recipe that is healthy and delicious, hence the name "The Best Cookies Ever!" The advantage of eating raw food is that all the enzymes and proteins are not denatured, thus provide more of a nutritional advantage for your body. This recipe is guaranteed to mix it up for you and teach you that raw food can be tasty and is healthy for you.
Here are the Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon of Lucuma
1 cup of brazil nuts
1cup dates (soaked and pitted)
1 Table spoon maca
½ teaspoon seasalt
½ teaspoon vanilla

What is Lucuma?
Lucuma is a fruit native to the Andes mountains of Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, where it is eaten out of hand or made into ice cream. It has thin skin and 'dry and starchy orange-yellow flesh'. In Peru and Chile, where the most lucumas are grown, only a small percentage reach the market in the raw state. Most are dehydrated and ground to a powder that is used to make ice cream and other milk products. South American lucuma are in season January to April. This fruit is now grown and enjoyed in Thailand as well. Americans are now enjoying the powder as a healthier maple sugar replacement (maple sugar has to be heated at a high heat in its processing), imported through raw food distributors! Because it is raw, all its nutrients and antioxidants are intact!

I cant eat dates, is there an alternative I can use?

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@theonlymcfly1 try instead of dates adding 2 Tablespoons honey and 1/2 cup coconut oil then put in the freezer for 2 hours. Hope that helps!
