Here I share my highlights and pitfalls through my journey of a raw, vegan lifestyle. After suffering from an eating disorder for a majority of my life I move towards a path of self acceptance and nourishing my body with what it needs.

Carrot Cake Icecream - Raw Vegan
After seeing an immense amount of carrot cakes on my news feed, I developed an absurd craving for carrot cake. Not cake, but just the taste.
So, I hereby pronounce you - CARROT CAKE ICECREAM! Vegan and dairy free - and full of goodness.
Jam packed full of carrots you say? Yep. Carrots are high in Vitamin A - they also help prevent aging of the skin, are fantastic cleansing and detoxing foods and helps reduce cholesterol levels!
So, without future a due - here is my recipe.
CARROT CAKE ICECREAM (Vegan, Dairy free)
Ingredients:
2 large carrots, grated.
5 large medjool dates, soaked and pitted.
1 large frozen banana
3/4c almond or coconut milk
1 tbsp Almond Butter
Dash of cinnamon
Blend all ingredients in a food processor on HIGH until it turns thick and creamy.
You may eat it as is, but I like to put mine in the freezer for a bit of extra icy-creaminess.
Top with your choice of toppings!
You could top with low fat cream cheese if you aren't vegan, personally I topped with walnuts, chia seeds and natural agave!
Now, settle down with a nice book or movie and ENJOY the beauty of this dish.
XX Sam.
