The Plantpower Way: Strawberry Mint Cacao Cheesecake

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Here’s a photo of me with the book because I don’t know how to not make everything about me.

Rich Roll and Julie Piatt are pretty cool. He’s an entertainment attorney-turned vegan endurance athlete, motivational speaker and plant-based nutrition advocate, and she’s a plant-based chef, healer, musician and yogi. Together, they are two people who remind me that I am generally a lazy turd – but that’s OK, because if Rich can change his life at 40 years old, there’s still time for my 35-year-old booty.

On that note, I got my hands on a preview copy of their new book, The Plantpower Way: Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes and Guidance for The Whole Family. It’s a gorgeous book featuring 120 healthy recipes and lots of tips for a plant-based diet. Of course I gravitated toward dessert, which is why I’m sharing this recipe from the book today. You can pre-order The Plantpower Way now (released April 28th) and check out Rich’s other book, Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself wherever books are sold.

For the crust:

• 1 1⁄2 cup raw walnuts
• 1 cup cacao nibs
• 8 dates, soaked and pitted
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
