Hi Everyone,

I'm a raw vegan newbie - it's only Day 5! In spite of eating mass quantities of raw foods, I'm hungry so annoyingly *often*! So tonight I decided to try making a dessert-like smoothie that would be filling and satisfying. Here's the ingredients I used:

About 8 - 10 raw, pre-soaked almonds
About 8 - 10 raw, pre-soaked pecans
flesh of one young coconut
1 cup almond milk
1 mango
1 banana
vanilla bean (to taste)
1 tsp honey

First I blended the nuts with the almond milk, then added the coconut flesh and blended some more until it was fairly smooth. Then I blended in the banana, mango and other ingredients. I had to add some water because it was really thick.

Much to my surprise and ecstacy, I discovered this rich dessert smoothie tastes A LOT like cheesecake!!! YUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!! I am in heaven! :-D

I think next time I'll skip the honey, because it was more than sweet enough for me. My tummy is so full and happy! (But for how long? LOL)
