Put the cubes into carob, the others in grated coconut. Then build a nice pyramid or any other building of them.

1 cup of walnut (soaked
overnight)
1 cup of cashew
1 cup of sprouted buckwheat

The fruits:
1 cup of date
1 banana
1 apple
1 spoon of raw honey

First chop the first 4 ingredients into very little pieces in a food processor with an S knife.


Then put the second 4 ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Put some (not too much) water if it's needed.


Then mix the nuts with the fruity sauce together, and spread it on a teflex sheet of the dehydrator. Dehydrate it for 20 hours.
After 10 hours you can turn it over.


Cut into bars and it is ready!

Zucchini spaghetti with mushroom sauce

I cannot get fed up with zucchini spaghetti. I like it with all kinds of sauces, for example with mushroom sauce.



Ingredients
for the spaghetti
2 zucchini pealed
1 tsp salt

for the sauce
2 tbsp sunflower seed (soaked for overnight)
3-4 nice large mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
2 glove garlic
pinch salt
1 tsp lemon juice
half bunch of parsley
pinch fresh ground black pepper


With a knife or with a slicer make spaghetti from the zucchini. Put the salt on it, stir well, and set aside. After 15 minutes pour the salty liquid off it.
Before salting it looks like this:


A little bit rigid, fresh and crunchy, I prefer it this way.
After salting it becames soft and flexible like this:



For the sauce put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Put a little water in the blender if it is needed.

Put the spaghetti on a plate, put some sauce on it, and garnish with mushroom cubes and parsley.
