Raw Pizza
Who loves pizza? Everyone loves a good pizza. I loved with a partner who loved eating Italian inspired food for many years. I need to find a way ten years ago to enjoy the flavours or fresh Italian ingredients with my family, so I came up with this favourite recipe raw vegan pizza. Gluten free of course. I’m not sure about you, but I know if I eat too much bread or pizza base I can feel the sluggish energy and weight gain around the guy almost simultaneously. Living a vegan lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t eat pizza. This weekend head to the vege market to collect your ingredients and have some fun making my Raw Vegan Pizza. Be sure to post it up on my Instagram or FB with a tag @nickyarthur or insta nickyarthur2_ Love to hear how your pizza tasted. Smiles & giggles Nicky xx Top this delicious pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. It is also beautiful with a layer of avocado dip or Coriander Salsa Dip (see recipes) on the pizza crust. Serves 4 For the Crust 1 cup LSA meal (mixed ground linseeds, sunflower seeds and almonds) 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil 1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs 2 cups yellow squash, chopped 1 cup walnuts, soaked for 1 hour in water 2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice ½ shallot, chopped 2 teaspoons nutritional (savoury) yeast For the Cashew Nut Cream 1 cup cashew nuts, soaked in filtered water for 1–2 hours Juice of 1 lemon ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt 1 teaspoon maple syrup or Raw honey 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) filtered water For the Tomato Sauce - I often just make this sauce and dress the base with fresh ingredients, for a quick and easy meal. 1 cup tomatoes 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water for 20 minutes ¼ teaspoon dried basil ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt 1 teaspoon oregano - For the Macadamia Mozzarella Topping - OPT I often just make the pizza base and dress it with fresh ingredients. 1 cup macadamia nuts, soaked for 1 hour in water ¾ teaspoon lemon zest 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) water ¼ shallot ¼ garlic clove ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper Method 🙏To make the crust, mix the LSA meal, oregano, basil and mixed herbs in a bowl. Set aside. 👋Turn the oven or dehydrator to 145°C/290°F. Process the remaining ingredients until smooth in the bowl of a blender or processor. Add the processed ingredients to the LSA and herb ingredients and stir well. 🌿Turn out onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, press base out like a pizza base. 👉🏻Arrange on Teflex paper. Decrease the oven dehydrator temperature to 115°C/240°F and dehydrate for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Alternatively, bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 115°C/240°F. You want the crust to be dry and baked like a pizza base. Cashew nut cream To make the cashew nut cream, bend all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor for 5 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. To make the tomato sauce, blend all the ingredients in the bowl of a processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Opt Macademia topping If I’m in a rush I miss this part out. It’s so yummy you dint need it. I like to dress it up with fresh ingredients like spinach rocket leaves and fresh tomorrow’s olives. To make the macadamia mozzarella topping, pulse all the ingredients in the bowl of a blender until the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Spread the cashew nut cream over the pizza crust then top tomato sauce and macadamia mozzarella

Mood BoostersHi there, Have you had a massive week! Restoring your temple and your mind is everything for living life with passion and VITALITY. We all need a little mood boosting from time to time. These Tips are practical and they work. Mood Booster Techniques Control the direction of your thinking- choose to identify and eliminate negative thoughts from your mind. 1. Choose your peer group wisely-they can either lift you up or tear you down. Be bold and be honest in your assessment of your circle of influence. 2. Get plenty of quality sleep- invest in a comfortable mattress, pillows, soft sheets and tranquil thoughts. Use the mediation CDs to help you relax and to clear your mind before sleep. 3. De-clutter your space- an organised environment at home and at work results in an increased sense of calmness. 4. Keep your work and home environment bright and airy- light increases serotonin levels and lifts mood. An airy environment helps increase oxygen flow and energy levels. 5. Listen to uplifting music- Music is the ultimate mood changer. It can take you from the depths of listlessness to the heights of exhilaration. Invest in an ipod or MP3 player with your favorite mood booster play lists on it. Try Wilson Phillips 'Hold On', Savage Garden 'Affirmation', your favourite band, or embrace some yoga music such as 'Deva Premal', spiritual, sensuous and relaxing. 6. Stay aware of your body language- posture and facial expressions are powerful influences on the brain's neuro-transmitters, so walk tall, sit straight and smile! 7. Take a break and do something different- just doing something different will help break the state that you're in (e.g. if you've been working on the computer for a long period, just get up and walk around or try having a fresh glass of cold water or telling a joke). 8. Use the power of visualization- we can re-live a previous highlight or future utopia (and its associated positive emotions) at any stage by using the creative energy of our minds. 9. Look for reasons to laugh- the act of laughing, or even faking a laugh can elevate mood levels significantly. It is my mission to make people laugh again and be happy! 10 Aromatherapy-when lavender and rosemary scent oils are emitted from an oil diffuser, people tend to feel more contented and relaxed. Try my blend at night of geranium and lavender oil. 11. Massage-touch creates measurable changes in brain wave activity. Treat yourself to a professional massage or get your partner to stimulate energy flow and mood through massage. 12. Engage in acts of kindness- helping others not only makes us feel good, but it helps other people to feel better, because they see that you care about them. 13. Nutrition- You are what you eat. A healthy diet will provide you with more energy and vitality. 14. Get out and about around Nature. Research has noted that spending time at around trees helps increase good quality oxygen to your body. For me this is my number one too along with yoga & meditation. 👌🏻🌾 Archives
