I know the word "raw" never really sounds that tasteful when you're talking about food, but I'm here to tell you that raw food is amazing mainly because it's chock-full of nutrients that don't get extracted from your food due to high levels of heat!  This pie is made from all whole ingredients, and it doesn't include any harmful dyes, refined sugars, or additives.  The green color comes from spirulina (which is a super food), and the chocolate pudding laying is made from scratch, doesn't come from a box, and doesn't have any ingredients with long names that are impossible to pronounce!  On top of all of that, it taste's amazing!

    Food is one of the greatest forms of science, art, medicine, and sustenance all at the same time!  It's what feeds our lives and pumps through our blood.  It's what connects us and what gives us energy to fulfill our purpose.  It is for that reason that I have a deep passion for discovering, cooking, and eating only the most nutrient dense foods.  In my kitchen, we only use organic, whole ingredients that feed the body, as well as the mind and soul.  My hope is to inspire healing through healthy  AND delicious food that feeds not only our stomachs, but also our hunger for connection and quality of life.
