Raw Recipe: Pear Frosty

I whipped up a yummy raw treat for dessert last night!  It was so good, I thought I'd share it here.  This recipe is from one of my favorite raw "cook" books called Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen, by Ani Phyo.  It is so simple - just pears, dates, vanilla bean, water and ice.  And it's so frothy and delicious!
