Whole Grain Carrot Cake

Other Notes

While a macrobiotic lifestyle embraces a diet of grains, vegetables, seeds and fresh fruit, it doesn't mean that travelers have to say goodbye to dessert. A quick re-work of a decades-old favorite by the chefs at The Fairmont Orchid resulted in the resort's Whole Grain Carrot Cake finished with lime-laced whipped avocado. As an ever-so-clever variation on the usual whipped cream topping, the oleic acid in avocado helps lower cholesterol and the addition of flax seed high in omega 3's helps keep the cake moist and always appealing.While a macrobiotic lifestyle embraces a diet of grains, vegetables, seeds and fresh fruit, it doesn't mean that travelers have to say goodbye to dessert.
