Live Apple Pie

October 29, 2013 By Alex Gellman

Courtesy Jaconello Health Centre for Nutritional and Preventive Medicine

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground raw walnuts
  • 1 cup pitted dates, soaked in alkaline water for 15 min
  • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds, soaked for 20 min, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups shredded apples (any variety)
  • 2½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup fresh apple juice
  • ½ cup shredded coconut for garnishing
  • 2⁄3 cup raisins, dried figs, or prunes (your choice!)
  • 2 scoops of 7.2 protein shake powder

Instructions

  1. Using a food processor, mix 2/3 of the shredded coconut, all the walnuts, dates, and sunflower seeds and 1 scoop of protein shake powder until it’s well-mixed.
  2. Once smooth enough, press the mixture into a pie shell to make your crust. Set aside.
  3. Place the grated apples in a large mixing bowl. Blend the cinnamon, the second scoop of protein shake powder with apple juice and raisins together, and pour it over the grated apples. Mix thoroughly to form your apple filling.
  4. Fill the pie crust with the apple filling and garnish it with more shredded coconut. Serve or refrigerate for later. If well-covered, it should keep for 2 days in your fridge.

    This is no bake pie.

But it is […]

Steps to a Healthier Lifestyle with Vega Allergy Testing

  Hidden Food Sensitivities A health consultation with me may involve testing with the Vega Allergy Testing System. This is a non-invasive (and painless) system to test food, chemical, and other intolerances and sensitivities, and isolate foods contributing to inflammation and digestive concerns. It helps identify foods and substances to which you may be sensitive, although not allergic. […]

How to Get a Quick Boost With a Healthy Habit

  I had a woman ask me recently: “Why is my life so hard?” She had experienced a string of stressful life events, including a health scare.

Stress, Your Health, and Nutrition

“Have 5 vegetables a day!” “Eat fresh fruit, not cookies!”     Many of us heard a version of these phrases from a parent or guardian when we were kids. Though we may have protested, even our child-size brains knew they had a point. Your parent’s main concern was that you thrive and grow into […]

Give Yourself the Gift of Mindfulness –

  Whether acknowledged or not, we’ve all experienced at least a few gratifying “living in the moment” moments that were impromptu and remarkable for their impact.
