Strawberry Crumble

Strawberry Crumble

I love making this strawberry crumble. It takes just a few minutes to create and can be served cold or warm with coconut sorbet or a dollop of thick organic yoghurt. My favourite way of eating it is simply with a dollop of yoghurt or cottage cheese and a teaspoon of honey for breakfast or throwing everything into the blender with a scoop of Healthy Chef Protein Powder and ground flaxseed for a delicious smoothie.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

40 g (1 1/2 oz) raw almonds

40 g  (1 1/2 oz) raw pistachio nut

½ - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

5 fresh pitted dates

500 g (17 1/2 oz) fresh ripe strawberries

¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract

METHOD

Combine almonds, pistachio, cinnamon and three fresh dates into a food processor.

Process until you have a crumble like consistency. If you don’t have a food processor you can chop finely by hand.

Blend 250 g (8 3/4 oz) of strawberries with the other 2 fresh dates and vanilla until smooth.

Cut the other 250 g (8  3/4 oz) of strawberries into quarters.

Combine the quartered strawberries with the blended puree.

Divide into serving bowls.

Top strawberries with the crumble.

Serve and enjoy.

NOTES & INSPIRATION

Blend any leftovers into the most delicious power smoothie. Just combine 1/2 cup strawberry crumble mix with 1 cup rice milk and 1 tablespoon of Organic Pea Protein and lots of ice.

Add a frozen banana or a teaspoon of tahini for added creaminess.

For a chocolate flavour and antioxidant boost, add 2 teaspoons Naked Chocolat.
