Hello beautiful people!
Can’t believe is christmas!! I’m so excited! It didn’t felt like christmas holidays since I came until now that I saw my house full of food, the smell of fresh baked desserts, family and presents everywhere.. Oh my! I love it!
Christmas is a very special holiday for me, I believe Christmas is the celebration of the promise of a peaceful and kind world.
As always, I’ve been having so much fun here, with my friends that I had not seen in a while and my enormous family that I adore.
I’m so happy to tell you that there have been some changes in my family since I came. But the most successful one so far is my mom. She went mostly vegan, cut down completely dairy, eggs, meat and poultry and eats fish randomly. When I first came, she had high cholesterol and triglycerides levels. The doctor gave her drugs but I told her she could do it just by changing her dietary habits. So she did it.
Now, 3 weeks later she had her blood test done and both cholesterol and triglycerides went almost half down! She was so happy and of course me too!
Is not like I want everyone to become vegan but it is impossible for me not to share what I know and what I live on a daily basis with the people I love the most. And to show them all the amazing benefits you can have when you incorporate more raw foods and you decrease your animal product intake.
In another topic, I made a video a few days ago that is perfect for christmas! Kids will love it too! I made super easy and fast 811 cookies and banana milk to go with them! Perfect for Santa’s midnight snack!
And because of christmas I decided to share with you an extra recipe I created. It became my mom’s favorite spread and one of my cousins came a few days ago and I gave it a try and she couldn’t believe what the ingredients were!!
Anyways, hope you enjoy this 3 easy, fast and delicious recipes.

Priscilla, what do you have the prune butter with? Obviously it would be good on bread, but I’m trying to avoid that right now since I’m focusing on raw foods.

Hi Jeff, it’s great with apple slices for a snack or top your morning fruit bowl with a couple of tablespoons. Also, I made a variation of it, adding soaked dates and blending it together and it is delicious. You can eat a banana with it, instead of almond/peanut butter.
