Raw Pear Crumble Stacks

February 24, 2015 by Cara

It’s a celebratory moment to be able to share a recipe based off of FRUIT after months null and void of Mother Nature’s candy! Things are finally settling down in my belly in fact, things are better than ever. Candida was the best thing to ever happen to me. Sounds strange to read that, I am sure, but the truth of it is, it demanded of me to be a better person. I was forced to take an honest look at myself and see where I have contributed to my poor health and to make a plan at bettering ME. It motivated me to expect more and to take responsibility for what I can control. Candida woke my spirit that was sleeping for so long. 

Raw Pear Crumble Stacks

Of course, I didn’t need Candida for the good stuff to happen but man, did I use it as the catalyst to make some changes and to take control of my life that expands beyond the dinner plate…and you know what? I’m in this extremely happy frame of mind because of it (and if you have been diagnosed, this can be you as well). I was really motivated knowing that once the diet was over I would have to maintain a close version of it (no processed foods, no refined sugar, limited alcohol, and a diet full of fresh veggies) so it was my duty to start learning how to take better care of myself. That and I didn’t want to ever see my liver levels so low or my health screen coming back saying that I am malnourished. 

Raw Pear Crumble Stacks 

I’m at a spot now where I don’t crave sweets the way I used to, in fact, these Raw Pear Crumble Stacks are about as sweet as I will go. I rarely eat refined sugar anymore (nor do I want to); I’m just more laser focused on smoothies and fruit and dates (all in moderation, of course, I have to). And yet what a TREAT that I am at this spot finally! It’s been almost 5 months…

    These look really cute but I don’t know if I would have the patience to eat them. But I do love pears!

    I love the look of these! So, so pretty. Pears have become a favorite fruit around here (I barely ever looked at them before the anti-candida diet!), and yours in the pic looks absolutely perfect. So glad you’re able to enjoy fruit again, too! πŸ˜€

    These are the kind of perfect, easy and tasty recipes that makes you wonder ‘why the hell didn’t I think of making this before?’. This crumble is super healthy and I love the addition of the dates to add a beneficial dose of sweetness!
    I’m gonna try this tomorrow as a treat to myself after my workout session.

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

      Ooops, I forgot to say this:

      Next time try using dried figs instead of dates. I’ve read on One Green Planet that dried figs have more healthy benefits than dates and this might help you on your recovery process! =)

    These look fabulous. I love the fact they aren’t actually too sweet. I am a huge fan of savory foods but every now and then I need a sweet “pick me up”. This looks like it will do just the trick. Also, way to go on your positive attitude towards something that many would deem extremely negative. Powerful. Strong. Awesome!

      Thank you for that Jennifer! I really appreciate hearing that–I think our brains have so much power in our lives and it’s up to us to harness in the negative and exude a positive attitude in every way possible πŸ™‚ Thank you for the comment, xo

    You really have the perfect attitude toward your Candida!! I love reading about how you turned what would seem like a negative into a positive!!

    • Cara

      February 25, 2015 at 3:53 pm

      Bianca, that means so much–thank you for that! I cannot stand staying in the negative; it’s absolutely unproductive, wouldn’t you agree?
