I love raw vegan cakes for special occasions and holidays, if you haven’t already surmised that from previous posts! One of the reasons I think they are so great is because they are the perfect way to show family and friends that healthy, whole, plant based foods (what our grandparents used to call fruits and vegetables) can be delicious and satisfying!

Cashews are an amazing vegan source of protein and are lower in fat than many nuts! They are also a good source of vitamin B-complex and essential minerals such as iron, selenium, zinc, and copper.

One of the most powerful nutrients in cashews are the anti-cancer compounds called proanthocyanidins that have the ability to starve tumors and stop cancer cells from dividing.
