The Rawtarian’s Thoughts

An important note about selecting your pumpkin. Do not use the large pumpkins that are sold at grocery stores for carving. Instead, use a “sugar pumpkin” or a “pie pumpkin,” which are generally sold (during autumn) at your local grocery store in the produce section for baking. “Pie” or “sugar” pumpkins are much smaller, sweeter, softer and less fibrous since they are grown for cooking/flavor as opposed to grown for size. If you’re not sure, just ask someone working in the produce department at your local grocery store for a pumpkin that is sold to be eaten!
To prep the pumpin, I chopped the pumpkin in half, scraped out the seeds and chopped it into small pieces. I did not bother to peel it, I just blended the pieces of pumpkin peel and all.
Also, you will need a high-speed blender to adequately blend this recipe since the pumpkin can be tough.

What is a “raw vegan?” A raw vegan is someone who eats only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds–none of which are ever heated above 105F (40.6 Celsius). That’s it. Raw vegan recipes include cookies, brownies, cakes, crackers, macaroni and cheese, cheesecake, and more. All made from fruit, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. No bread products, no dairy products, just raw, natural ingredients! There is a whole movement of “raw vegans” (or “raw fooders”) who invent and share creative raw food recipes. Raw vegans prepare recipes using blenders and food processors instead of ovens and microwaves! ”Like” The Rawtarian on Facebook, and visit her for more great recipe ideas at therawtarian.com
