Happy dessert Thursday! It’s become quite a thing now at Seren to have a foodie Thursday. My latest find in the Raw food realm is holistic nutritionist Leanne Vogel and her website Healthful Pursuit. What drew me to Leanne’s recipes was the use of natural sweeteners from fruit, no evil white stuff. Leanne’s recipes cater for allergies and sensitivities too so everyone can enjoy. There are plenty of nut free treats to try.

Recently Leanne released her first recipe book ‘Dessert Freedom’ all about guilt free desserts. Everything in the book is grain free and vegan. There aren’t huge ingredients lists and I’ve found I can source or replace with an alternative all the ingredients included. It bugs me when recipes contain weird and wonderful ingredients you have no chance of finding without difficulty. Added bonus there is no refined sugar or soy, just straightforward & natural produce.

The first recipe I tried from Dessert Freedom is the Strawberry Chia Squares. Divine on a plate! Best thing about the nut based desserts you only need a tiny piece to be satisfied. I’ve put half in the freezer for a later date.  To get the recipe please support Leanne’s work and purchase her e-book yourself for just $14.95. If you’re a fan of beautiful photography it’s worth getting just to look at the pictures!

Love Seren xx
