It would make an excellent Valentines meal or dessert.
There's two parts:
Shortcake:

—¼c dried, unsweetened coconut
Icecream:
—¾c frozen strawberries
—1 banana
Simply blend dates & coconut until a sticky, sweet dough is formed. Press lightly into bowl or dish.
Blend bananas & strawberries with a little bit of water. Pile on top of your shortcake pastry and enjoy!
This recipe makes a nice meal for 1 person, or a good dessert for 2.

Super Creamy Green Protein Pasta
The first thing anybody ever says when they find out you are vegan is, "but where do you get your protien?!" We are warned (incorrectly) to make sure we're eating lots of protien to replace the meat that we've left off of our plates. While that's pretty much a giant load of BS that they've swallowed fed to them by the multi-million dollar meat & animal secretion industries, it does make sense that people might be worried about this.
I don't think anybody actually has anything to worry about, but the placebo effect can work wonders. So if you're worried about your protien (or just craving a healthy, savory, low fat meal!), this recipe is for you.
Is not only packed with protien (at just over 20g per serving), but its one of the tastiest, creamiest low fat meals I've had!
Here is my latest creation, Creamy Green Protein Pasta.

—3 cucumbers
—15 small dates
—1c greens
—1c peas
—1c water
—¼ avocado
—Singapore Salt-Free Seasoning (found at Penzey's)
1) Spiralize cucumbers
2) Chop dates
3) Blend greens with water
4) Add peas and blend again
5) Add avocado and blend one last time
6) Pour sauce over noodles & dates
7) Sprinkle Singapore Seasoning on top liberally (if you dont have singapore seasoning, its basically a curry with lemon and black pepper)
Enjoy!!

Tomato-Orange Salad Dressing
This raw salad dressing is fat free and salt free for optimal health!
I put this dressing on a salad I shared with my SAD parents, and they loved it! It's super flavorful, tangy, creamy, and sweet - just the right balance! It makes a great sauce for raw pasta, too.
Ingredients:
—¼ container grape tomatoes, or 1 tomato
—2 oranges
—⅓c sundried tomatoes (soaked)
—2 cloves garlic
—oregano, to taste
—basil, to taste
1) Blend oranges until smooth & creamy.
2) Add sundried tomato & garlic. Blend until smooth.
3) Add fresh tomato and herbs. Blend more for a smoother dresssing, less for chunkier dressing.
4) Pour over salad of your choice and enjoy!
Peace.

Introducing, cucumber noodlies with tomato-parsley sauce!
Ingredients:
- Noodlies: (I just love that word. Say it: "Noodlies." Hehehehehehe.)
- 3 Cucumbers
- You could probably use zucchini as well if you like it; I don't. I do think the cucumber noodles give a lovely freshness to the dish.
- Dressing:
- ⅓ c sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ c parsely
- ½ c water
- ⅛ onion (or, preferably, use chives or scallions for a fresher tasting, less mucous-forming option!)
- 1Tbsp lemon juice
- Optional, but yummy:
- avocado chunks
- dried apricot slices
Blend parsley & water until smooth. Add rest of ingredients and blend until smooth.

LFRV Chocolate Icecream?!
Today for lunch, I've got a huge (24oz!) tub of chocolate icecream... Fat free, guilt free, and cruelty free! Vegans can't eat anything? Bullshiiit!
The recipe is super simple (and delicious, and totally the consistency of icecream!) :
—8 frozen bananas (chunked)
—8 dates
—½c carob powder
—⅓c water (if using blender)
Blend all ingredients in a blender (or with icecream maker? I assume it would work, I don't have one so I don't know.)
That's it! Enjoy!
(Recipe is best if eaten right after making it.)
