Coconut Cashew Macaroons

IMG_0005

I’ve been trying to eat more vegan and raw foods lately and came up with this recipe after searching for some vegan desserts online. It’s super easy to make and if you don’t like cashews, you can replace them with raw almonds. To make a chocolate version you can add some cacao or coco powder!

Coconut Cashew Macaroons

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (I like Kelapo)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I like Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Vanilla)
  • pinch of sea salt

Directions:

  1. Add the cashews to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is very fine.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and keep pulsing until it’s mixed well and forms a wet dough.
  3. Spoon out about 2 tablespoons of the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and roll into a small ball. Repeat until all the dough is formed into bite sized balls.
  4. Transfer the balls into the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours and serve cold.

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
