I don't even have a lot of friends on here yet. I guess I just got all the bad ones :noway:
Here is the recipe:
Crust:
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
1 tablespoon cacao or carob powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 dates
1 tablespoon agave
Put everything except for agave in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed well.
Add agave, blend until it turns into a sticky paste.
Press the paste onto the bottom of a springform pan.
Filling:
2 cups blueberries. If frozen make sure it's at room tem.
1 cup cashews, ground
7 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1/4 cup agave
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Blend everything. Pour onto the crust. Chill or freeze until the filling is hard.
Just added you, replacing the bad eggs with the awesome ones :flowerforyou:
Is there a way to bookmark this receipe? I absolutely love to try it when I get home later0 -
That sounds like cheesecake surprise.
I do like how this rant post has changed into a cheesecake thread0 -
Thanks for the recipe and the post. Keep up the good work!0

Those friends sound like turds. Now see, i like to leave my profile and diary open so that people can see that you can eat cake, drink beer, eat pizza, eat Chinese food, and still lose weight. I only comment on open diaries as well. I like to see what people are eating, it is good for inspiration. And I hope by having my diary open, people can look and see what i eat if they are interested and maybe get some motivation, or some ideas. In the calorie counting game it never hurts to share your secrets for reducing those calories..........switching from light cream to fat free, or from real preserves to sugar free...............all things I have seen on other peoples diaries, and tried, and liked. People who are nasty, will be nasty no matter what.......just ignore them and move on.........0

lol I think he was being sarcastic :laugh:
agave is a cactus like plant (tequila is made from agave), it tastes like honey but is lower on the glycemic index. It's also plant based so good for vegans who don't eat honey.
You can make the recipe with honey as well, or might be good opportunity to try out agave.0 -

I'm definitely going to try it...I thought I was making a completely pointless post until I realized how many people asked for my recipe. :happy:
I was typing it up for Rayman and by the time I typed it up I got 5 other requests for the recipe.
How's the coconut flavor... I'm not a huge fan...
You can buy refined coconut oil and it doesn't taste like coconut at all. The cool thing about coconut oil is that you can buy it at a health food store in baking *and* in the beauty supply section. Good for your skin, hair and tummy.
I just joined here, but I leave my diary open only because I am vegan and people always wonder what I eat. Plus, I'm a huge advocate of eating (not starving) and eating for health. If people wanna judge someone, that says everything about them and nothing about the person they judge. Here, as in life, I have no room or patience for negative people. Besides, this is called my "fitness" pal and it's about supporting fitness goals.
In my world, I've dubbed every Tuesday as "Tantrum Tuesday." I think we all need a good rant or a private little hissy fit. So, I dedicated one day to it (it used to be my worst day in the office). So, rant on sista!
I think the cheesecake sounds fabulous. :flowerforyou:0 -

It actually doesn't taste like coconut at all. Coconut oil solidifies when chilled so eliminates the need for baking by keeping the cake together (so does butter but coconut is a healthier source of fat and is good for vegans as well)0 -

What do you mean by bookmark? You can always go back to "my topics" and it'll be there.. I'm guessing you already know that though.
You can enter it in your recipes too, so it'll always be there.
By the way it's 8 servings and a little under 350 cals per serving, forgot to include that info with the recipe0 -
you here for attention? J
Second one was about my food diary that is (or used to be until today) open to everyone.
This morning I entered in "raw cheesecake", my own recipe. Ingredients are almonds, pecans, agave, dates, coconuts, blueberries, coconut oil and cashews, about 350 cals, full of healthy fats, vitamins and fibers.
OMG, have I actually stumbled across another raw foodie here!! Your raw cheesecake sounds incredible and thanks for posting the recipe I used to be a raw food vegan many moons ago and while I no longer am still pull out some of my fave non cook books and try a few recipes a month 
I'm not a vegan but rather mostly vegetarian with seafood once in a while..
But I love raw recipes, I love experimenting in the kitchen and finding out how much you can actually do with minimal cooking, you can get really creative.0 -
I had someone msg me repeatedly saying that my sugar was a little bit over on workout days...I had told them that i was a type 1 diabetic already and that in order to sustain good sugar levels i sometimes had to consume some lucozade in order to stay balanced.
Every person is different and our bodies work differently, some people don't seem to understand that u can still have variety in ur diet without going overboard, if ur too strict ur destined to fail in the long-run peeps!
It's a fitness site not a weight loss site, a good balanced diet and fitness regime encourage weight loss but that is not why people should join MFP.
You have done the right thing by removing these people, it is best not to be around anything negative and if people can't come up with constructive criticism then best to avoid.0 -
Thanks for posting the recipe I am ridiculously excited about making it and having cheesecake for breakfast! You are now my favorite person on MFP 0

this sounds AMAZING!! thanks for sharing! feel free to add me, im nice and not opinionated lol x0 -
I ALWAYS check out other peoples food diaries, especially those not located in the UK. I've had some amazing ideas for different meals from them. it's so easy to get stuck in a rut with a diet and eat the same old things all the time. Then you get bored and the next thing you know it's Helloooo Chocolate bar !! ...
your cheesecake sounds delicious, feel free to add me please, so that I can see what other great things you come up with . 0 -

Exactly!!0 -
My diary is only open to friends. I sometimes look at friend's diaries, but don't usually make suggestions unless asked. I believe that people should still have foods that they love as part of their healthier lifestyle. Sure, I am eating a lot more lean meats and fruits and veggies than I was before, but I still keep room for foods that I enjoy. I am sorry you got that feedback. There are some people that truly believe that you can only eat 'clean' all the time or you can't be healthy and lose weight.0

So this post is kind of pointless, I realize, but like the title says, it's just a rant..
I'm pretty new on MFP and have been following the forums and somewhat participating in them, and understand that there are people whose opinions naturally differ from one another. Some topics, especially those that are controversial usually end up turning ugly and that's expected on a public internet forum. I understand that when you post something asking for opinions, you naturally get a variety of opinions. This I have no problem with...
What I've been having a problem with is some "friends" who've recently added me have PM'd me, trying to give me advice I didn't ask for and in a very condescending way.
First one was a message saying and I quote "What exactly are you doing on MFP? You only weigh 125, are you here for attention? Just curious."
Do I have to be dangerously overweight to want to get healthy? To want to look better? How is my profile begging for attention? Have I posted anything asking for attention? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Yes I deleted this person, problem solved but nevertheless it was unexpected and annoying.
Second one was about my food diary that is (or used to be until today) open to everyone.
This morning I entered in "raw cheesecake", my own recipe. Ingredients are almonds, pecans, agave, dates, coconuts, blueberries, coconut oil and cashews, about 350 cals, full of healthy fats, vitamins and fibers.
One of my friends saw that I ate "cheesecake" and had the nerve to message me and say again I quote "Well if you're going to have cheesecake for breakfast why do you choose to share your diary with people who are actually trying to be healthy?"
1. Did I ask for your opinion?
2. Do you even know what the ingredients were for what you thought was unhealthy? Much healthier than the white bread and breakfast sausage you had this morning. Just who exactly are you to judge me?
3. Even if I had a 1000 calorie slice of regular cheesecake, how is what I eat your business? I'm logging for myself, and my diary is open for the times that I might need help or advice.
This person is also deleted but I mean who does this? Is everyone on here so healthy that my 1 slice of cheesecake that isn't even a cheesecake bother someone?
UHHH...Yes YOU DID ask for opinions when you "Let Friends In" and Open Your Diary to them or anyone (It is Implied via Internet/Site Protocol.) Hey, DUMP the "Friends" ALL of them, Close your Diary, and Either Close or leave open your profile. Getting healthy and/ or losing weight is VERY PERSONAL. If you want to share on the Forums, then do so by Posting, now and then. Let your focus be You. If you want more, then EXPECT the FULL ARRAY of Wack Jobs on the Internet! Each One has their OWN IDEA of HEALTHY!0 -
I am making this very soon. Is it selfish of me to be glad that it took a rant to get this recipe?0
-
Where are you finding these "friends"?? Yuck.
Delete their stupid *kitten* and You do YOU.. Find people who want to support you, not criticize without knowing the facts.
P.S. Totally trying the raw cheesecake recipe. -- In yo' FACE, haters!

Bump for the great cheesecase recipe!
