fig date custard

2 cups dates pitted (soaked overnight in 2 cups water and drained) 1 cup date juice (the water poured off the soaked dates) 3 cups dried figs (soaked overnight in 2 cups water and drained) 1 Tbs. vanilla extract (non-alcohol type) 1 cup raw tahini 1 cup chopped almonds (soaked overnight in 3 cups water and drained) Pour the water off the almonds, then put the almonds in the food processor and chop until they are in small chunky bits and set aside. Blend figs, dates, vanilla, tahini and date juice in food processor until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the date juice until you reach the desired consistency. It should be the texture of a rich and creamy pudding. Serve in small cups and sprinkle with chopped almonds. This is very rich, so go easy on the amount you eat.

Use ORGANIC fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and pure living filtered water. Vita-Mix Quick and Easy Anti-Aging Smoothies.

Use a variety of sprouts including sunflower sprouts, buckwheat sprouts, clover sprouts, broccoli sprouts, radish sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, mung bean sprouts or any other sprout of your choice. All sprouts are LIVING FOODS! For an extra punch of nutrition add a teaspoon or more of E3 Live Superfood to any smoothie.
