Made this for my housemate for her birthday. It’s amazing…100% raw, 100% vegan, and 100% sweet as fuck.

Lemon Berry Swirl Cheesecake

Crust
1 1/2 cups almonds
2/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Grind the almonds into a flour in a food processor. (unfortunately our blender wasn’t capable of this so mine were still a bit chunky!!)
Add the raisins and continue grinding until broken down.
Add the coconut and vanilla. Grind again to incorporate.
Add another 1/2 – 1 teaspoon water if needed to keep the mixture held together when pressed in your hand.
Press evenly into the bottom of a 12″ spring form pan.

Filling
3 cups cashews
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup agave or other liquid sweetener (I used golden syrup)
Pinch of salt
Lemon zest (from all juiced lemons)
1 cup melted coconut oil
4 cups mixed berries

Blend all except the oil and berries.

Add half of the oil and blend again until completely smooth.
Transfer 1/2 – 2/3 cup of the mixture to a small bowl.
Add all the berries and other half of the oil back to the mixture in the blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the filling evenly over the crust.

Pour blobs of the lemon cream on top.

Using a chopstick, push each blob down into the berry filling before swirling it into the berry cream on the surface.
Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
I chucked some strawberries ontop after it had set :)

I tell you these things because I do not want you to die prematurely. What you are doing to yourselves is a quick fix. You’ve heard that something will make you lose weight quickly and by being so restrictive you feel like you’re being proactive. I’m not telling you to shove being vegan down your throat, in fact this has nothing to do with being vegan anymore. It’s purely a health thing.

Why, when there are scientific studies out there that have made direct links between a disease you’re worried will kill you, and diet, do you still make me feel like I’m telling you something unnecessary and unimportant? Why don’t you want to learn? Why don’t you want to be the healthiest you can possibly be? Why don’t you want to help yourself live the longest you can live, so you can spend that time with us, your family? Why is a moment of satisfaction, more important than feeling the best your body has ever felt for the rest of your life?

I tell you these things out of love. I tell you these things because I want you to stop worrying. I tell you these things because I want you to be around for every milestone of mine, and yours. But you tell me not to tell you these things. You switch off. You ignore me. And it makes me want to scream. Asking you to listen to me, and understand where I’m coming from, is not the same as asking the general public to get a fucking grip and take more care of themselves. My reasons for wanting to tell you these things are completely selfish. I tell you these things, simply because I love you.

100 calories of spinach gives me 12 grams of protein.

100 calories of porterhouse steak gives me 13 grams of protein.

I’ll choose the spinach and just eat more of it, ta. If nutrients from animal based foods can increase tumour development, and nutrients from plant based foods can decrease tumour development, I know what I’d rather put in my body.

“Finish your vegetables, eat your greens, an apple a day”…It’s all about eating fruits and vegies until you say you’re going vegan then somehow all that wonderful food isn’t healthy enough and you’re going to die.

the-more-u-know:

Once you have read this (10 DISGUSTING FACTS ABOUT FAST FOOD) it is unlikely that you would want to go to eat at a fast food restaurant again. These unbelievable though 100% true facts are good enough to stop me from going to such places.

This is actually among one of the worst facts about fast food. The average fast food consumer consumes 12 public hairs in any given year.

Bacteriophages have been given approval by the FDA to be used on processed food like hot dogs, cutlet, lunch meat etc.

The cheese available to you In the market that is labeled as processed is just half of what you want (the product) while the rest of the product is additives, chemicals and flavoring that has nothing to do with the product.

FDA has given approval for an average of 30 insect fragments that includes rodent hair per 100 grams of peanut butter.

Shellac a product used to give improved shining to the wood and furniture could be a member in your stomach, since it is also used for food product.

Salad is considered to be the healthiest option among fast food patron, but very little is known about its packing in an antifreeze compound, Propylene Glycerol that is known to cause eye and skin irritation.

You must not have noticed that that the chicken items listed in the fast food chains contains beefs additives, that is been mentioned as an essence or an extract and is used to improve the flavor and change its health or nutritional stats.

Every can of coke you consume has a lot of sugar in it, around 10 teaspoon of sugar, which is hell more than your body would want daily. It is just because of an additive phosphoric acid which lowers the level of sugar that you don’t puke out automatically after having the can.

MacDonald itself uses a bizarre blend of 50 chemicals like those of ethyl acetate, phenethyl alcohol and solvent to match the taste of real strawberry.

Chicken is the worst of all! It is obtained as slurry of pink paste by a chemical procedure, causing extreme bacterial growth, so it has to be cleaned in ammonia and then have to be added with essence that is more chemicals. Furthermore it is dyed to get the exact color. So just think what you are buying isn’t worth consuming, and think before ordering some chicken nuggets mate.

So what are you waiting for, share this post with your friends.. If you are a fast food freak and now, since you know these disgusting facts about fast food, you certainly need to change your diet.

People’s contentedness (not a word but we’ll go with it) with being ignorant fucks me off big time.

Educating yourself on nutrition and it’s benefits seems so awesome to me. I make the connection with my health enabling me to do exactly what I want, when I want. If I’m healthy and well, despite my age, I’ll be able to spend quality time with those I love, doing the things we love, in the places we love.

If we have the knowledge to use what we put in our bodies as preventative medicine, or as a way of trying to reverse certain ailments and diseases, why aren’t people trying to do it? How can people just simply not care about making those connections.

I don’t get it.

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

This guy is so… awesome. Amazing. Inspiring.

OK crying. restored faith in humanity…

There are still some incredible people around.

The next time someone tells me I need meat or dairy in my diet for protein/calcium, I’m going to politely direct them to this documentary and ask them to get back to me. If you can use a plant based diet to reverse breast cancer with secondaries then surely it makes perfect sense to understand that diet can cause, or at least increase your chances of getting, these horrific diseases. Why would you want to do that to yourself? #forksoverknives #plantbaseddiet #food #health #lifestyle #wellbeing #disease #wellness
