I felt in need of a real boost this lunch time, so whizzed up this protein packed smoothie to keep me going for the rest of the afternoon.

Raw Vegan Brownies
Based on Jennifer Cornbleet's Brownie recipe, these gorgeous treats are wonderfully tasty but also super quick to make.
Raw Vegan Brownies
1 1/2 cup of walnuts
Pinch of salt
6 tbsp cacao or carob
8 medjool dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp cold water
Process the walnuts until coursely chopped. Set aside 1/4 cup then continue to process the rest until they are a fine powder. Add the salt and cacao or carob and process again. Add the dates, vanilla, coconut oil until everything starts to come together. Add back in the reserved walnuts and enough water just to bring everything together and pulse briefly. Press into a small square container so that the brownie is about 1/2 inch thick and chill in the fridge :)
