Radically Raw Friday @ The Desoto (July 6)


Every friday i offer a “radically raw” breakfast menu at The Desoto Inn  on the beach in North Hollywood, Florida,  for our guests. 
Raw dishes are considered nutrient-dense “live nutrition” as the foods’ natural enzymes are still viable and can assist your own body in processing the food and absorbing its nutrients.
 I am impressed by the balancing properties of raw foods and have fun playing with the light, bright flavor opportunities raw dishes provide. enjoy!


Menu:
Maple-Sweetened Meusli - a swiss-german tradition and favorite of mine.  soak raw gluten-free oats with your choice of seeds, nuts, and dried berries overnight in a fresh-made raw nut milk, lightly sweetned with raw honey, agave nectar or maple syrup.
Sweet Morning Pizza - i make the crust from organic, sprouted seeds and nuts (hemp, flax, chia, almonds), top it with my raw, honey-sweetened pine nut cheese, and drizzle a fresh berry fruit pureĆ© over it all.
Savory Morning Pizza - my raw nut & seed crust (hemp, flax, chia and almonds), topped with an herb-spiced raw pine-nut cheese, an avocado-lime pureĆ© and baby red, yellow and orange peppers.
Juice du jour: Cucumber Elixir - made fresh with organic cucumber, apples, basil and aloe vera, lightly sweetened with agave nectar, this crisp tonic is loaded with vitamins and anti-oxidants, and is a wonderful immune system booster.

We are having fabulous summer weather here on the beach - lovely water temperatures, not too hot or humid, and light summer evening breezes.  Just delicious.  Have a magical day and weekend.  Stay tuned for Monday's menu.
Namaste.
