TRICK OR TREAT

Who dosen’t love pie, especially a healthy homemade version? Check out this festive pumpkin pie recipe, just in time for your visiting Halloween ghosts and goblins!

Serves 8 (makes a 9-inch Pie)

Ingredients

Pie Crust:
1 cup raw walnut halves
1 cup raw pecan nuts
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp of coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp buckwheat flour

Pumpkin Pie filling:
2 cups homemade pureed pumpkin
3 eggs + 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup almond or rice milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
2. Place the walnuts and pecan nuts in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil and buckwheat flour and pulse until the mixture is well combined and comes together to form a crumble.
3. Place the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie pan and press the crust into the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Pierce the base of the crust with a fork, every ½ inch or so to prevent the crust from rising up as it cooks.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
5. While the crust is baking prepare the pie filling. Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
6. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the filling out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling has set and the crust is nicely browned.
7. Leave to cool slightly on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.

JUICE REVIEW: GEISHA


Geisha4 copy

Ah Geisha. It is one of our most popular beverages on the menu. And it’s no wonder! This is a delicious, creamy concoction boasting with multiple health benefits! It is apart of our nut mylk range, made with our delicious almond milk, sweetened naturally with medjool dates and vanilla beans. And has the added benefit of Match green tea powder in it. Making it our healthy version of the green tea latte. And we have added chia seeds. So its a quasi-green tea latte-come bubble tea. Yum yum yum!

Matcha Green Tea is the highest quality powdered green tea available. We use the british teapigs brand which is the best of the market. Of course!  This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today. Match is high in antioxidants, cancer fighting AND fat burning. Plus it is known to boost your memory and fortify the immune system.

The addition of chia seeds increases the protein in this beverage whilst also creating that bubble tea like effect. I have spoken about chia seeds alot and there is ALOT to speak about. Here is a general overview of the superfood….

High in fibre – 28g is about one third of your recommended daily fibre intake. Adding chia is an easy way to make sure you are getting a good amount of fibre in your diet, which is very important for your digestive health.

Omega 3 – These good fats a re important for brain health as well as amazing for your skin and hair! Your skin will look more and feel more hydrated and your hair will be shiny!

Calcium & phosphorus – great for maintaining bone and oral health as well as preventing osteoporosis – important for the ladies!

Fights the belly fat – chia has a stabling effect on blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels and insulin resistance = belly fat.

And finally lets talk almond milk. All of our nut mylks, coffees and protein shakes are made with home made almond milk. We soak our almonds overnight with fresh vanilla, medjool dates and a pinch of salt. A great alternative to dairy (for those who have an intolerance) and another great source of protein in your diet.

Retailing at $60 both in store and online – get your matcha hit today!
