banana & strawberry crêpes
space
A wonderful friend of mine was teasing me this morning when I posted a blog for cheese sauce on Shrove Tuesday instead of a raw vegan pancake recipe. I promised to do some research but I didn’t have time to do the required dehydrating to try a new recipe so I’m pulling out a draft recipe I started writing back in 2010 for the occasion. It’s also a good reminder to make these again soon, as I do remember them being really good!
I had to look through all my raw vegan recipe books to find this recipe again and of course, it was in the last one I checked! It’s from Alissa Cohen’s Living on Live Food, which is a wealth of good recipes if you need some inspiration :)
And don’t stress – the instructions make it look more complicated than it really is; you just need to allow up to 14 hours for dehydrating.
Ingredients for crêpe shells
- 5-6 ripe bananas
Instructions for crêpe shells
- Blend bananas in food processor or blender until smooth
- Spread onto teflex sheets in a square about 1/8 inch
- Dehydrate for up to 14 hours – they should be solid but not crispy
- Cut into strips (approx 4″ by 2″)
Ingredients for filling
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 large lemon
- 4 tsp raw honey
- 2 tsp Bragg Liquid Amino
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp water
Instructions for filling
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
Ingredients for strawberry sauce
- 1 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1-2 tbls raw honey
Instructions for strawberry sauce
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
Assembly
- Cover plate with thin layer of strawberry sauce
- Scoop filling onto banana crêpes and roll up
- Place crepes side-by-side on the plate and garnish with more sauce
And voilà – raw, vegan crêpes, with 5 minutes to spare before Shrove Tuesday comes to a close… but like regular crêpes or pancakes, these are also good as a special occasion breakfast, or desert. And no ‘Fat Tuesday’ label required for these – they’re totally good for you!!

Greetings!!
As enticing as a ‘classic’ strawberry banana combo may seem… Perhaps our digestive systems are telling us otherwise! + nuts (fat).. and more nuts (more fat)…. + sugar… + more sugar…. Reminds me of a nightmare!

You may enjoy taking a close(r) look at the human digestive system and how it functions!
Basic ideas such as eating smaller portions and fewer times a day come to mind, when thinking of how we can (en)Lighten the load, expand our awareness of All That IS, and harmoniously co~create wonder~filled experiences with these hyper~dimensional spacecrafts/intelligent lifeforms (bodies).
