[Recipe] Green Ginger Cookies

Green Ginger Cookies
These can be made the day before they are served.

2 cups spinach, kale, chard, beet leaves or some combination of these
1 cup oat groats, soaked overnight
1 tablespoon minced ginger (or more, to taste)
1 cup raisins, not soaked
2 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons coconut shreds (optional)

1. Soak oat groats overnight in drinking water. Drain them and rinse thoroughly.
2. Pat oats dry with a clean towel.
3. Put all ingredients into the food processor.
4. If a chunky texture is desired, reserve 2 tablespoons of raisins and 2 tablespoons of oats to add after the initial blend.
5. Blend until a smooth soft dough is formed.
6. If creating chunky cookies, add reserved oats and raisins and pulse 10-20 times.
7. Form cookies. These can be rolled into balls, or smashed into cookie-like shapes, or rolled and then cut into triangles or squares.
8. If using coconut shreds, coat the outside of the cookie with coconut shreds.
9. Put in the dehydrator or the fridge. Either will firm them and create a pleasant cookie.

For information about the ingredients used, and why I use them, refer to my other recently posted recipe which uses many of the same ingredients: Berry Bowl. That recipe also contains important information for maintaining healthy teeth while on a raw vegan diet or a high-fruit diet.

Also, I've got something new I've been working on the past few months. I've been studying the nutrition of different vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts and learning bundles about hormonal balance, digestive combinations and natural treatments for many different aliments. I've been so busy learning, I have not had much time to blog. However, I have made time to create full meal plans that get your full nutritional needs met each day in the plan. Check them out and get ready to become blissfully balanced and experience elegance.

Thanks for stopping by!
