Ingredients

  • 3 medium carrots peeled and chopped

  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ½ cup packed pitted Medjool dates roughly chopped
  • teaspoons finely grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

      Hi Mari,

      So sorry about that! We recently redesigned our website and some of our recipes were lost in the conversion. We’ve found most of the missing ones but there are some that we’re still discovering. Thank you for pointing this out. I’ve added the recipe here. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
