Ingredients: (Serves 2)

PUMPKIN PIE BOWL FILLER:

• 1/2 cup cashews
• 3/4 cup of organic canned pumpkin puree (6oz.)
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil
• 1/4 cup filtered water
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)
• 1/4 tsp. star anise spice (finely diced)
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 large pitted date (or 2 small dates)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla (I prefer 1 drop of Medicine Flower Vanilla)
• 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger

GRANOLA CRUMBLE:

• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup pitted dates

Directions:

• In a blender, combine all of the pumpkin pie filler ingredients and blend on high.
• If using a Vitamix blender, I recommend using the stick to help blend. If using a regular blender, you may have to add a little more water to allow it to blend. However, this is meant to be a thick mixture, so only add if necessary).
• Once blended, add the pumpkin pie mixture to the granola (in a small bowl or mason jar) and place in the refrigerator to thicken.
• Garnish with cinnamon or nutmeg and crushed almond pieces.

Raw Pumpkin Pie. Have seconds and even thirds! It’s that decadent—and that GOOD for you. 

Ingredients: (Serves 4-8)

PIE CRUST

• 1 cup of raw almonds
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup of dates/Turkish apricots
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon

PIE FILLING

• 1 cup pecans (ideally soaked overnight)
• 1 1/4 cups of organic pumpkin puree (12 oz.)
• 6 dates
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt (Celtic Grey Sea Salt, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)
• 1 tsp. of vanilla (or 4 drops vanilla Medicine Flower Vanilla)
• Optional: 1 tsp. of gluten-free Tamari
• Optional: You can use 12 oz. of real pumpkin if you choose (that's what I did, and puree is MUCH easier and faster).

Directions:

PIE CRUST

• Blend pie crust ingredients in a food processor until the oils come out of the mixture and stick together (food process for over a minute or so).
• Then place the mixture in a 9” tart mold or pie pan, and mold against the sides first, then the floor of the mold so that it sticks.

PIE FILLING

• In a blender, blend the ingredients. 
• Add mixture to fill in the pie crust.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top, and place in the refrigerator to cool and mold.

I know that for most of you, a cup (or more) of coffee on a crisp fall morning is non-negotiable and pairs well with one of my pumpkin breakfast bowls or pies—or both.

And I’d never take that away from you in the name of your physical and mental health.

This is precisely why I created Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizers in flavors you will be obsessed with, such as Hazelnut or Salted Carmel.

Just one scoop or packet will neutralize 99% of the acid in a 22-oz cup of coffee (Venti size). Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer also accelerates fat burning and helps maintain mental focus throughout the day. It’s a no-brainer.
