((sigh)) As much as I appreciate an all natural attempt at traditional desserts, Cashewtopia fails to deliver on something amazing. This organic, raw, vegan, low glycemic, dairy, soy, and sugar free gelato uses way too much agave nectar, which makes it too sweet and drowns out the natural flavors that they offer (pistachio & chocolate […]

As we find ourselves fully emerged in bikini-season, I’m trying to eat “cleaner” foods. This means that I’m delving into the Raw dessert section at Whole Foods more frequently to get my sugar fix. Raw desserts are free of all the “bad” stuff (gluten, refined sugars, wheat, dairy, etc. etc!) and even have nutritional benefits […]

Raw Desserts are basically a God-send if you’re abstaining from refined foods, white sugar, flour, are Vegan, Gluten-free, and like sweets! According to About.com, a raw food diet consists of “raw, vegan foods that have not been […]
So I Finally, finally, finally had some Babycake cupcakes and all I can say is… Bleh!!! These treats are “refined-sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan and Kosher” oh, and totally Yummy-free. I could maybe overlook the super dense nature of the cake, but the slippery slick, latex like consistency of the frosting repulsed me […]
