For those who are complaining about the cost of this recipe, I made this in a mini personal version in a ramekin! In all I used 1 banana, 5 strawberries, 1/4 cup of almond milk, and 3 dates! Much cheaper and still the same delicious taste:)
Yes I do love her videos but when I look at everything I said to myself "wow this is really expensive!". And finding some of these Fresh Products around my area is really really hard. I also said to myself "how much of this am I going to eat? Because is a lot!". Lol. so thanks for making a smaller version because I know more people are going to be motivated to make it. I am also going to have to make sure to buy a small cake pan to make the small version. Lol
you seem full of life, vibrancy and you're highly spirited. This is evident in the fact that your diet contributes to it by eating very healthy. Im happy for you, that's all you need, keep smiling and doing what you love! God bless!
oh wow! the one we made together with my kids and you was scrumptious!!!!! delectable and every bit as good tasting as it was to look at!!!!! Love you my private chef! You are part of my family!
FullyRawKristina Hi! Thanks for this recipe! How heavy is The meat of 2-3 young coconuts please? I found frozen coconut meat at my local asian store and would like to use it. Thank you so much! This looks delicious!
Omg yes!! I never thought a vegan dessert could ever look so good lol that may sound bad but keep in my mind that I've JUST started researching about vegetarianism and raw food diets for barely a wk. I stay up all day & night watching RUclips videos and following blogs about it so that I can make a conscious, well thought out decision. Thank you for these videos ^_^ you come across as calm and clear
I've made this for my husband to show how much I love him an we both enjoyed it .... was so yummy even shared with my family making a seperate one for them :) mmmm it was so delicious... thank you
I did a calorie breakdown just in case anyone was wondering. Without the glaze, this cake is 3,389 calories, 565 per slice. The dates alone are the same as a whole cheesecake LOL
I've been vegan for years, but to say that an excessive amount of calories and sugar from fruit is good and all animal products are unhealthy is just wrong.
Hugh Mungus actually is not. I thought the same for years! The reason We believe that Myth is because of the idea put in our minds about diabetes. But when bodies does not create enough insulin IS NEVER Because we eat Too much Sugar. Now Refine white Sugar Have Some Health Threat.
How beautiful! It will be perfect to try this summer when strawberries are in season here in Oregon! Pretty awesome looking! Thanks and Happy Valentines Day!
Long story short… I want to Café gratitude pretty much one day a week when I lived in Santa Cruz… I had those cheesecakes every time I went there and it was freaking delicious! The baker was Katy and when she changed jobs the cakes were never the same… So I am attempting to make it myself and see if I can re-create that same delicious experience! Thank you for sharing!
DO THIS TO MAKE IT BETTER mix oats with the dates ( you can skip the figs/mulberries if you'd like ) 1-2 pounds of dates, about 1-2 cups of oats. form the crust on the sides of the pan all the way to the top, like a high crusted Pie, put in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350degrees Fahrenheit. this crust makes it taste so much butter, also, triple the amount of vanilla, if you dont have the beans, use four table spoons vanilla extract, in both the whip and strawberry glaze.
OMG! Epic dessert!! Who cares about the fat when you are making a cake like this! It's probably as healthy as a tiered cake would get! I will save this recipe for a special day. And go all out! I think I will use coconut cream instead of almond milk for extra thick and creamy fudge/ice cream texture. Thank you so much for this heavenly masterpiece!
I get up set when some people give your video a thumbs down. I mean what give, your saving and changing lives! Different strokes for different folks. Well I thought this recipes is all time famous! I still make your raw pumpkin pie, my eyes roll in my head still with each bite, can't wait to make this for my family next, thanks :-)
What a really good recipe! Do you realize this would also be fantastic with fresh, ripe peaches? Cherries? Figs? Blueberries layered separately with raspberries and blackberries for an epic "Berry Shortcake?!!!" How about using pistachio nuts in the date "crust" instead of mulberries, and no cashew nuts? Would really increase the crunch factor and decrease fat. This recipe is really good for a potluck dinner "gift." Ohh! Just had an idea. . . Dip a few of those berries on top in "chocolate" (carob powder recipe)!! Now THAT is "Epic heaven!" Happy Valentine's Day! And congratulations on a truly blessed (and beautiful) niece!
it's not because people hate joy, it's that she's a very insincere person, who claims to be an ethical vegan, but wears shoes made of leather/baby goats/cows, she has 8 fridges, she buys organic produce - which to grow organic you need a bigger field - meaning more animal displacement . . . she thinks 20 dollars a day is a cheap - she bought a porche with leather interior. . . she makes bombastic - over the top claims about how her diet will cure cancer and prevent the need for prescription pills - which isn't 100% true, she claims to not support whole foods, but has her book being sold there i can keep going, but she's a very bad person doing it for money
You are such an inspiration, Kristina! I have just recently decided to live a vegan lifestyle, but after watching literally all of your videos, I am really excited to eat raw vegan! thank you for your positivity and attitude! you're a great role model!
this raw strawberry shortcake looks so delicious. I will make this not just for Valentine Day, for anytime I want something sweet. Thank you for the recipes. Girl you are amazing!!!!!!! smiles
Oh my gosh Kristina, you make the best desserts ever! Keep them coming. It's my goal to end up eating like you do. Yours is the best raw food diet plan of them all.
wow kristina what a beautiful creation u came up with!! i definitely need to make this. now if only i had an occasion to make it for! hmm…my birthday in a few months? haha. ill definitely make it for elvis' birthday but thats not till november i can't wait that long!
What would happen if I ate over 2,500 -3,000 calories raw whenever I wanted not caring about how many nuts or avocados what if I ate this slice of cake everyday or many times a week or a month is it just weight gain that's a problem and if so would your body get thick or can you look cellulite big
@@beereina6998 That's what I'm saying. I know people have certain dietary restrictions, so I understand the alternatives. However, if the issue is just counting calories, eating that many calories just because they come from healthy foods doesn't seem worth it.
How often do you eat treats like this (or your other desserts)? Where does it normally fit in with the rest of your meals? Do you eat them in between meals, or after a meal?
All her dessert recipes are insanely expensive. No. Fracking. Way. I appreciate creative raw vegan recipes despite not even being vegetarian, but this is not a realistic recipe/alternative for most people, and if I'm going to make a dessert, I may as well make the real version, especially if it winds up being 1000 times cheaper with even less calories. Hell, strawberry shortcake is one of the healthier, lighter desserts one could make anyway.
she uses the produce of rawfully organic its her co op so its not expensive, i live in argentina where fruit is not so cheap, so i make my own version with not so many strawberries and more bananas its not so hard you just replace what you cant afford ;)
Make it your own and use less expensive ingredients. Or only make it if you find a bargain offer for the expensive ingredients. And on the "rich daddy": Kristina runs her own organic produce co-op, she does not need a rich daddy. And she makes a living from that RUclips channel, too, she is her own entrepreneur. Apart from that her possibly "rich" daddy worked for his money and was a little more fortunate than others, that's just life. Jealousy and demeaning young cute women by making them rely on their "rich daddy" will only harm the one who writes it.
For everyone that is saying its too expensive to eat healthy... When you stop drinking 5 dollar starbucks coffee everyday, spending all your money on fast food, shopping and alcohol and clubs on the weekends, ONLY THEN will you have enough money to spend on fruits and veggies! Get organized, get healthy. Don't blame other for your poor decisions
I have to agree with you. People can easily shave off between $100 - $300 if they want to (once of course, they are working) and use that money to afford to go raw or semi-raw. At the moment I cannot, but if I am considering changing my diet maybe not fully raw but raw till four or something like that. Between that and the tips she has already given: to buy in bulk, to store things adequately, etc I don't see a problem. Also people just need to buy seasonal and local fruits and vegetables first and foremost and then "indulge" in non seasonal and non local fruits and vegetables to do something special like this from time to time. Everything is expensive but if one wants to get something done even within limitations it can happen. Perhaps some people will have to do more vegetables than fruits. It is just a matter of being creative.
Here in Germany it is sometimes actually cheaper to eat healthy, depending on where you shop. A hamburger might cost EUR 1,00 to 1,20, but e.g. two bananas cost about the same if not less. If you are prepared then you can also buy in bulk or go to your local market or supermarket just before closing time and ask them if they give you fruit and veggies for less, some also offer it themselves without asking. If you cannot buy organic, wash your produce with baking soda, it will get off much if not all of the pesticidic wax. If you like a quick fix, buy yourself one of those apple cutters that core and cut at the same time. Preparing raw meals is actually quicker than cooking and easier, so that it takes time is no excuse at all, either.
If you live somewhere like Canada, where not many fruits grow and most are imported, then fruits and vegetables can be more expensive than fast food and processed foods. If you live in a warm climate where fruits are inexpensive, great for you, but don't generalize.
Here in New Zealand you just need to go to the open, orchard 'pick your own' markets that are usually on the outskirts of the cities whereas the inner city vegetable and organic markets + commercial supermarkets are very expensive almost in a way that to 'turn off' most people who think going organic is expensive, this is what I thought until I started google mapping orchards and asking around. So now im pretty set in the fresh fruits and vegetables available at much cheaper prices - it is also possible working a deal with the supermarkets in taking there ripe organics off them for very cheap too, sometimes they just give it away, I get the odd phonecalls to come in and have a look before it gets binned so working up a relationship with growers and auctioneers can work in your favour..
That's bullshit. I don't drink Starbuck because it's too expensive and I can make coffee at home way more cheaply, I don't eat fast food cause in my country it's expensive. And I don't drink cause I'm not old enough. But I can't afford many fruit and vegetables, I can only afford bananas, lettuce, and carrots. Can't make any of her recipes with thise 3 things.
WOW! This is the most healthy, beautiful strawberry shortcake that I've ever seen!!! 😍😍😍😍 This is the REAL Strawberry Shortcake! I love strawberries and strawberry shortcake. I want to try this recipe soon!! Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous recipe! You are a RAWkin' chef! ;) I love you! Hugs! ❤️❤️ Miliany Bonet 😃
Wow, amazing recipe ! When the strawberry season starts I will try it out ! But what about the final taste ?:( PS: What about a raw vegan pizza ! Can you create one ? But without zucchini ?:))
I am so blessed that my dad runs fresh fruits and vegetables business , i get to eat all them for free, including nuts, seeds, and i am from tropical country, coconuts are cheap, dates are cheap, mangoes,bananas .... my bill will be much lower if i go fully raw @.@
I just discovered you Monday and I've watched at least 70 videos! You're so inspiring and helpful to a raw newbie like myself, can't wait to try this! Yummy
My favourite type of cake! Well they all are lol. I will be making this in the summer as soon as our strawberries come in here in the uk:) thank you beautiful, shining one X
Your recipes are just amazing and delicious but most of all healthy, nurturing in all kinds of nutrients we need to keep healing in staying healthy in a much more fun and enjoyable and exciting way of living healthy, thank you so much for being you in being so passionate about real food :-) send you lots of love and blessing in all you do, Tks again
I dont now where you guys shop, but fruit and veggies in most place are less than a $1 a pound and i live in expensive San Francisco. and if you are already vegan or vegetarian going raw is just a matter of NOT cooking the food you already eat. You need to be smarter shoppers and pay attention to how much you pay for food per pound/once.
foxybiroxy You live in California, even if it is San Francisco. I live in Ohio, heart of the Midwest. Fruit is not cheap here. Even the farmer's markets are expensive and by the time you buy the fruit from there is almost rotten. I am not talking being riped. If I lived in California, Hawaii or some tropical island then of course, fruit and veggies would be cheaper to eat.
Omg i can so relate to this! I'm 16 and a vegetarian (planning to go vegan in the future) and I don't really know anyone (especially not guys) at my age who lives this sort of lifestyle.
Hey Kristina, this looks so very delicious! I think I have all the ingredients and will try to make it this weekend. Thanks for another awesome recipe! Ann
Hey Kristina, I LOVE what you do. I have yet to try your recipes and go on a little fully raw challenge for a month or so. You're very inspirational and creative. But I have a little constructive criticism. I know it might be ok for your American viewers because of their culture, but for others of us (I'm Jamaican) the air licking beside the dates, the drinking out if the large bottle of almond milk and putting your finger into the whip is a little off putting and seems unhygienic. Please see this as constructive, I admire you and I would never want to tear you down.
Brandy, I'm a culinary student, I much prefer using my hands as mixing tools, so don't twist what I'n saying. I'm speaking specifically about her putting her finger in and licking it. Yes, he may be the only one consuming it, but for presentation purposes, as a viewer I don't want/need to see that.
askarsfan2011 You're missing the point. But I've laid this to rest. It's my opinion, she can take it, or not. I won't die, you won't die, neither will she. The end.

How is it the same pie with those meager ingredients?
Uh, yeah.... Not the same...
you seem full of life, vibrancy and you're highly spirited. This is evident in the fact that your diet contributes to it by eating very healthy. Im happy for you, that's all you need, keep smiling and doing what you love! God bless!
I would have strawberry shortcake every year for my birthday but now that i'm raw this will make an exceptional replacement!! :)
oh wow! the one we made together with my kids and you was scrumptious!!!!! delectable and every bit as good tasting as it was to look at!!!!! Love you my private chef! You are part of my family!
LOVE YOU!!! victoria arnstein
FullyRawKristina Hi! Thanks for this recipe!
How heavy is The meat of 2-3 young coconuts please?
I found frozen coconut meat at my local asian store and would like to use it. Thank you so much! This looks delicious!
You put so much time and effort into these wonderful and HEALTHY recipes! This is gorgeous! Can't wait to make this.
Watching you makes me so happy.. You are such a hardworking woman. And I love that you strive to make things fun and uplifting in your videos.
Omg yes!! I never thought a vegan dessert could ever look so good lol that may sound bad but keep in my mind that I've JUST started researching about vegetarianism and raw food diets for barely a wk.

By far my favorite recipe video. Wish I could thumbs up this video more than once!
OMG YOU MAKE ME WANNA ENTER THE RAW FOOD WORLD.
OMG!!! I NEED TO DO THIS CAKE FOR OUR VALENTINE 15 YEARS TOGETHER!!! WHOOOO! THAT WILL BE A SUPER TREAT TO SHARE OMG!!!! thank you Kristina

making this for my daughter's 3rd birthday this weekend!
Oh boy! this looks fantastic, I am going to make it this weekend. Thank you Cristina for your lovely vídeos and recipes.
I love how you say "and todaaaay" haha! Xo
lol!
Looks absolutely epic... I'll spend my Valentine's Day monomealing on beautifully sweet Fuji Apples! Got tons
I did a calorie breakdown just in case anyone was wondering. Without the glaze, this cake is 3,389 calories, 565 per slice. The dates alone are the same as a whole cheesecake LOL
True, but there a lot of fiber you poop out
sorry I hit the dislike but there should not be 1 dislike, i agree with u
True, but there are from a good calorie source instead of animal products
I've been vegan for years, but to say that an excessive amount of calories and sugar from fruit is good and all animal products are unhealthy is just wrong.
Hugh Mungus actually is not. I thought the same for years! The reason We believe that Myth is because of the idea put in our minds about diabetes.
But when bodies does not create enough insulin IS NEVER Because we eat Too much Sugar.
Now Refine white Sugar Have Some Health Threat.
How beautiful! It will be perfect to try this summer when strawberries are in season here in Oregon! Pretty awesome looking! Thanks and Happy Valentines Day!
I can't wait to make it !! AMAZING!
Long story short… I want to Café gratitude pretty much one day a week when I lived in Santa Cruz… I had those cheesecakes every time I went there and it was freaking delicious! The baker was Katy and when she changed jobs the cakes were never the same… So I am attempting to make it myself and see if I can re-create that same delicious experience! Thank you for sharing!
Yum this recipe looks fantastic!
Made this today! The four hours can't come fast enough!!! So excited, wooohoooooo!!!
DO THIS TO MAKE IT BETTER
mix oats with the dates ( you can skip the figs/mulberries if you'd like ) 1-2 pounds of dates, about 1-2 cups of oats.
form the crust on the sides of the pan all the way to the top, like a high crusted Pie, put in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350degrees Fahrenheit.
this crust makes it taste so much butter, also, triple the amount of vanilla, if you dont have the beans, use four table spoons vanilla extract, in both the whip and strawberry glaze.
Call Me Witcher thank you and do we actually blend the entire vanilla bean? I always see people scrap only the seeds.
dont blend the entire bean, adds a bitterness, i'd scrap it.
You've outdone yourself Kristina!!! That looks delicious!!!!!
OMG! Epic dessert!! Who cares about the fat when you are making a cake like this! It's probably as healthy as a tiered cake would get! I will save this recipe for a special day. And go all out! I think I will use coconut cream instead of almond milk for extra thick and creamy fudge/ice cream texture. Thank you so much for this heavenly masterpiece!
lol! Sometimes it's ok to indulge just a bit! It's Valentine's Day!
coconut is a natural fat burner, regardless of the high calorie and fat content, it actually burns fat, trust me its true. :)
moopvc I knew that coconut fat is good fat, but didn't know it's a natural fat burner! Hooray! :D
I get up set when some people give your video a thumbs down. I mean what give, your saving and changing lives! Different strokes for different folks.
Well I thought this recipes is all time famous! I still make your raw pumpkin pie, my eyes roll in my head still with each bite, can't wait to make this for my family next, thanks :-)
What a really good recipe! Do you realize this would also be fantastic with fresh, ripe peaches? Cherries? Figs? Blueberries layered separately with raspberries and blackberries for an epic "Berry Shortcake?!!!" How about using pistachio nuts in the date "crust" instead of mulberries, and no cashew nuts? Would really increase the crunch factor and decrease fat. This recipe is really good for a potluck dinner "gift." Ohh! Just had an idea. . . Dip a few of those berries on top in "chocolate" (carob powder recipe)!! Now THAT is "Epic heaven!" Happy Valentine's Day! And congratulations on a truly blessed (and beautiful) niece!
YES!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! :) HUGS!
Your videos are so great. I'm a vegan going fully raw and your videos help so much. Thanks!!
Yum, yum, yum. I live for fruit and cream. Or "cream" lol. Thanks for all the recipes, I have so many ideas now.
Your videos make my life easier and my eating experience so much healthier and fun.
why does she get hate why does the world hate joy
Because she talks to us like we're five years olds.
One word: Drama. This isn't a porno, its info on food. 😒
it's not because people hate joy, it's that she's a very insincere person, who claims to be an ethical vegan, but wears shoes made of leather/baby goats/cows, she has 8 fridges, she buys organic produce - which to grow organic you need a bigger field - meaning more animal displacement . . . she thinks 20 dollars a day is a cheap - she bought a porche with leather interior. . .
she makes bombastic - over the top claims about how her diet will cure cancer and prevent the need for prescription pills - which isn't 100% true,
she claims to not support whole foods, but has her book being sold there
i can keep going, but she's a very bad person doing it for money
Call Me Witcher I made that comment a year ago- my opinion has changed, believe me
vickie g i didn't notice the date!
my favorite!!!Thanks Kristina for sharing!! yummmy!!
omg that looks soooooooooooo YUMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amanda McClure love and miss you!
Thanks Kristina, I can't wait to try your recipe, it looks so good!
Hello Kristina!! You look beautiful in fuchsia it really suits you
You are such an inspiration, Kristina! I have just recently decided to live a vegan lifestyle, but after watching literally all of your videos, I am really excited to eat raw vegan! thank you for your positivity and attitude! you're a great role model!
Looks too yummy!
this raw strawberry shortcake looks so delicious. I will make this not just for Valentine Day, for anytime I want something sweet. Thank you for the recipes. Girl you are amazing!!!!!!! smiles
What are you making for Valentine's Day?! Please share below!
Are those Sugilite earings?
Please make those and sell them in the frozen section. I don't have time to make them. You really make fully raw fun!
+FullyRawKristina I wanna try making it, but I rarely get to make anything in the kitchen
+FullyRawKristina okey il need a vitamixand a food blender. Hm thats about 1200 over here. THATS ONE EXPENSIVE CAKE
FullyRawKristina I want to make a strawberry flavor cake for my boyfriend but I want to make it a heart shape. is there a possible way to do that?
Oh my gosh Kristina, you make the best desserts ever! Keep them coming. It's my goal to end up eating like you do. Yours is the best raw food diet plan of them all.
wow kristina what a beautiful creation u came up with!! i definitely need to make this. now if only i had an occasion to make it for! hmm…my birthday in a few months? haha. ill definitely make it for elvis' birthday but thats not till november i can't wait that long!
What would happen if I ate over 2,500 -3,000 calories raw whenever I wanted not caring about how many nuts or avocados what if I ate this slice of cake everyday or many times a week or a month is it just weight gain that's a problem and if so would your body get thick or can you look cellulite big
@@beereina6998 That's what I'm saying. I know people have certain dietary restrictions, so I understand the alternatives. However, if the issue is just counting calories, eating that many calories just because they come from healthy foods doesn't seem worth it.
WOW, Kristina, I think this is your best recipe ever!! :D Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us! ♡♡♡♡♡
Forget cheesecake, I'm making this instead!!
I know right ? LOL. It looks amazing.
I will definitely try it!!!! good Inspiration tip (for my husband's birthday) hahaha
Thank you Kristina!!! Keep shining!!!
How often do you eat treats like this (or your other desserts)? Where does it normally fit in with the rest of your meals? Do you eat them in between meals, or after a meal?
oh my goodness, that is the most beautiful cake i ve seen in a long time...great ideas Kristina, im impressed
All her dessert recipes are insanely expensive. No. Fracking. Way. I appreciate creative raw vegan recipes despite not even being vegetarian, but this is not a realistic recipe/alternative for most people, and if I'm going to make a dessert, I may as well make the real version, especially if it winds up being 1000 times cheaper with even less calories. Hell, strawberry shortcake is one of the healthier, lighter desserts one could make anyway.
she uses the produce of rawfully organic its her co op so its not expensive, i live in argentina where fruit is not so cheap, so i make my own version with not so many strawberries and more bananas its not so hard you just replace what you cant afford ;)
Try living in a cold climate. Fruit is expensive.
Make it your own and use less expensive ingredients. Or only make it if you find a bargain offer for the expensive ingredients. And on the "rich daddy": Kristina runs her own organic produce co-op, she does not need a rich daddy. And she makes a living from that RUclips channel, too, she is her own entrepreneur. Apart from that her possibly "rich" daddy worked for his money and was a little more fortunate than others, that's just life. Jealousy and demeaning young cute women by making them rely on their "rich daddy" will only harm the one who writes it.
Eat less and eat better is what I always say. I know it's expensive but you feel better isn't that worth the trouble?
true..i couldn ever afford to buy strawberries and dates and all of the things
no way
i am on welfare
Omg!!! Looks amazing!!! Will be making this as soon as I finish Detox Mastery. New to the Houston area and will be checking out your co-op soon! :)
can you make a video on how eating fully raw might help fight cancer and other diseases?
I would LOVE to do that! Thank you for asking!
FullyRawKristina Thank you! :)
Juice juice and juice raw!
Oh My God
For everyone that is saying its too expensive to eat healthy... When you stop drinking 5 dollar starbucks coffee everyday, spending all your money on fast food, shopping and alcohol and clubs on the weekends, ONLY THEN will you have enough money to spend on fruits and veggies! Get organized, get healthy. Don't blame other for your poor decisions
I have to agree with you. People can easily shave off between $100 - $300 if they want to (once of course, they are working) and use that money to afford to go raw or semi-raw. At the moment I cannot, but if I am considering changing my diet maybe not fully raw but raw till four or something like that.

That's bullshit. I don't drink Starbuck because it's too expensive and I can make coffee at home way more cheaply, I don't eat fast food cause in my country it's expensive. And I don't drink cause I'm not old enough. But I can't afford many fruit and vegetables, I can only afford bananas, lettuce, and carrots. Can't make any of her recipes with thise 3 things.
WOW! This is the most healthy, beautiful strawberry shortcake that I've ever seen!!! 😍😍😍😍 This is the REAL Strawberry Shortcake! I love strawberries and strawberry shortcake. I want to try this recipe soon!! Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous recipe! You are a RAWkin' chef! ;) I love you! Hugs! ❤️❤️

OMG, this is epic! Strawberry season is just around the corner! Thank you.
Wow, amazing recipe ! When the strawberry season starts I will try it out ! But what about the final taste ?:(
PS: What about a raw vegan pizza ! Can you create one ? But without zucchini ?:))
Me and my mom love watching you!! We used to be a part of the vegetable plan thing when we lived in Texas!
I am so blessed that my dad runs fresh fruits and vegetables business , i get to eat all them for free, including nuts, seeds, and i am from tropical country, coconuts are cheap, dates are cheap, mangoes,bananas .... my bill will be much lower if i go fully raw @.@
I just discovered you Monday and I've watched at least 70 videos! You're so inspiring and helpful to a raw newbie like myself, can't wait to try this! Yummy
Do you know what shortcake is?
She may call it shortcake, but it's more of a raw alternative to a shortcake. :)
This looks so yummi!
Kristina, I really love your recipes! :3
whY DO YOU LEAVE THE GREEN THINGS ON THE STRAWBERRIES I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS
How can you be raw and not know of the nutritional value of those fruit greens? They're extremely nutritional.
I have a feeling a lot of people on these raw channels commenting arent raw
@@Amanda-ev3lg yeah you're probably right lol.
I love your spatula and platter💗 all the cute little hearts
Kristina can u make a raw almond butter and jelly sandwich, plz
I could probably only afford to make a mini-cake of this but I'm definitely doing this when strawberries are in season! Looks yummy and pretty too
this would cost like 100 dollars to make
alba roque lol, not in my country. Where do you live?
MotivatedAngel right where do you live???
It a treat for a special ocassion like a birthday
Beautiful delicious cake
daaaamn that would be so expensive to make (at least in Poland)
in Romanian too...very expensive all. :(
in the US too.. very expensive. D':
***** you are right! :)
VERY AWESOME KRISTINA!!!!!!!! :) THANK YOU FOR THE NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!
She wears SO many bracelets....
Well, she is a hippie.
Umar Farooq You can’t completely save the world bro, gotta lighten up on the hating.
awkwardpineapple this comment of yours is neither nice nor relevant and it’s definitely as awkward as a spoiled pineapple...
Oh my god, little heart. You make me so happy!! This looks amaaaaazing! Can't wait to try! xoxox
Thank you for all you do.
I love these ideas, but they do seem expensive. May have to replace dates with raisins!
OMG! SOOO GOOD, LOVED IT, AM MAKING FOR VALENTINES DAY! Yum!!!!!
she exaggerates so much that I mute the video and turn on subtitles
+FlyingDumpling exactly what i was thinking too!! it's like watching some kind of a kid's cartoon show
so bad at it too... hard to watch or hear her
+H Terri. me too, I wish she would just calm down and act normal.
same here :D
lmao
This looks absolutely amazing and satisfying!!! I showed this to my little brother and he wants to try this fully raw strawberry shortcake :) thanks!
I'm not against eating raw whatsoever, but I'm sure that that stuff doesn't taste like cool whip...
I made it and it tastes nothing like cool whip, it just tastes like banana and cocunut with a kick or cinnamon. Tastes like a smoothie
My favourite type of cake! Well they all are lol. I will be making this in the summer as soon as our strawberries come in here in the uk:) thank you beautiful, shining one X
When I heard her say the MEAT of two coconuts, it kinda scared me. LoL who else?
No.
Haha lol it's okay it's not real meat thats just what they call the inside if everything that lives basically
kayoayo Well I have heard people call it meat from coconuts. Its also weird when I hear the flesh of fruit of skin like whyy!
How hungry! I feel like eating all as your recipes! How wonderful is a nature and its channel! Congratulations Kristina from Brazil
Ummmm I wanna eat the whole thing lol!
love you!
So scrumptious looking, a yum's up (i.e., thumbs up) for sure.
Her shoulder looks far more delicious than the shortcake
Your recipes are just amazing and delicious but most of all healthy, nurturing in all kinds of nutrients we need to keep healing in staying healthy in a much more fun and enjoyable and exciting way of living healthy, thank you so much for being you in being so passionate about real food :-) send you lots of love and blessing in all you do, Tks again
Maybe when I'm rich. Too poor to be raw.
I am not a vegetarian, but everyone know that meat is more expensive per pound than beans, rice, pasta, oats, flour, fruits, veggies and some nuts.
I don't buy a pound of meat.
maroonghul Eating raw is expensive. I tried it for a week. Couldn't afford it. Sadly meat and other unhealthy foods are cheaper.
I dont now where you guys shop, but fruit and veggies in most place are less than a $1 a pound and i live in expensive San Francisco. and if you are already vegan or vegetarian going raw is just a matter of NOT cooking the food you already eat. You need to be smarter shoppers and pay attention to how much you pay for food per pound/once.
foxybiroxy You live in California, even if it is San Francisco. I live in Ohio, heart of the Midwest. Fruit is not cheap here. Even the farmer's markets are expensive and by the time you buy the fruit from there is almost rotten. I am not talking being riped. If I lived in California, Hawaii or some tropical island then of course, fruit and veggies would be cheaper to eat.
ive never felt this angered at a video
Wow! This looks just like the original one. Yum yum!
Can't find a girl like that around here..all the girls I know eat meat! Damn! When will I find a woman that live with me eating raw???
Omg i can so relate to this! I'm 16 and a vegetarian (planning to go vegan in the future) and I don't really know anyone (especially not guys) at my age who lives this sort of lifestyle.
Mind blown! I have never seen such good raw food recipies!
Stop complaining! You don't have to make it as big as hers. And why so much hate?! Grow up people!
Delicious!!! I'm going to make it! Thanks Kristina!!
does her voice sound different than usual?
Hey Kristina, this looks so very delicious! I think I have all the ingredients and will try to make it this weekend. Thanks for another awesome recipe! Ann
Hey Kristina, I LOVE what you do.
I have yet to try your recipes and go on a little fully raw challenge for a month or so. You're very inspirational and creative. But I have a little constructive criticism. I know it might be ok for your American viewers because of their culture, but for others of us (I'm Jamaican) the air licking beside the dates, the drinking out if the large bottle of almond milk and putting your finger into the whip is a little off putting and seems unhygienic. Please see this as constructive, I admire you and I would never want to tear you down.
Brandy, I'm a culinary student, I much prefer using my hands as mixing tools, so don't twist what I'n saying. I'm speaking specifically about her putting her finger in and licking it.
Yes, he may be the only one consuming it, but for presentation purposes, as a viewer I don't want/need to see that.
Also please let me know which tv chef lick their fingers while cooking on tv.
She's going to eat that cake by herself. She's not serving it at a restaurant. No reason to freak out about your own cooties.
askarsfan2011 You're missing the point. But I've laid this to rest. It's my opinion, she can take it, or not. I won't die, you won't die, neither will she. The end.
Ash Emm Lol she's doing it to show how yummy, irresistable and tasty it is...also to add sex appeal...
This looks scrumptious! Much better than those store bought sponges... Not to mention healthier too!
Remember: No matter what you eat or how you eat your going to die. Death is inevitable!
👏👏👏👏
Is that really your justification for living crappy :D lol i almost pity you
