Happy Birthday Blueberries

Today happens to be my birthday...the big 2-6! I feel like that is a somewhat un-exciting number, but nonetheless, it is cause for celebration. I decided to make myself a birthday treat and try out a raw recipe that looked very delicious... it was! I feel like this was a very healthy way to ring in my 26th year!
Raw Blueberry Tartlets

2 cups fresh blueberries
4 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated orange zest
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup pitted dates

Combine the first six ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Using a food processor, pulse almonds until they resemble bread crumbs. Empty them into a bowl and set aside. Pulse dates with 1 tsp water in processor until they resemble a paste. Mix together the pulsed almonds and dates.

Divide the mixture evenly into four golf ball-size rounds. Place each ball between two sheets of wax paper and pres to form a 4-inch crust. Turn up the edges. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Place the crusts onto serving plates and fill them with with 1/2 cup of the berry mixture. Drizzle each with the juices from the bowl and ENJOY!
