Today we have one of the most decadent summer recipes I know of, the amazing ice cream sandwich. Only this time, we have made it #modeldiet worthy, filled it with all the good stuff and left all the not-so-good-for-you stuff out!
The recipe is pretty simple and straight forward, you just need a blender and a freezer. I bet you want to get on with the reading now and just make the recipe. Let's go!
Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches (Raw Vegan)
Author:Cecilie Hjorth
PREP TIME: 15minutes
TOTAL TIME: 3 hours
Servings: 4-6 cookie dough ice cream sandwiches
Category: Dessert / Snack
Cuisine:Gluten-Free, Vegan, Low-Fat, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free, Raw Vegan
Does it keep?1 month in the freezer
Ingredients
2 cups soaked dates (I used this kind) + some of the soaking water
Add all the dough ingredients except oat flour and cacao nibs to a blender. Blend until smooth, don't worry if it's a bit runny since you will be adding the flour.
Add flour and cacao nibs and divide into two. Spread into two seperate square molds lined with parchment paper. Add to the freezer for 60 minutes
After an hour, take the cookie dough squares out of the freezer. Start preparing the ice cream by adding two frozen bananas, a dash of vanilla and plant milk to a high speed blender and blend until creamy
Spread the ice cream on one of the cookie dough squares. Add the other square on top and freeze for another hour! A bonus tip is to spread a bit of peanut butter mixed with agave syrup on one or both squares as it makes the ice cream sandwiches extra delish!
After an hour, take out the big ice cream sandwich and cut it up into 4-6 sandwiches. Ready to serve and eat like this or re-freeze them for a future delight! Let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before eating them as the banana ice cream can be a bit hard.

Today we keep going along the raw vegan ride! I just posted a super exciting interview on my YouTube channel, with raw food guru Lissa Raimondi, otherwise known as Lissa's Raw Food Romance. In the name of that I want to share this super easy, delicious and everyday raw vegan recipe. My easy raw vegan granola!
Most people think granola is a health food, but if you read the ingredient list of most granola's in your supermarket, you will find they are packed with refined sugar, oils and even chemicals. Even so called organic granola can be packed with cane sugar and oil, which are absolutely not foods that support health. This granola is free from all of that, and it is gluten free as well. You do need a dehydrator to make this granola, but you can also make it in the oven on the lowest setting, baking with the oven door slightly open. If you do want a dehydrator, this is the dehydrator I use: https://amzn.to/2Ur0uCr and here is a cheaper option: https://amzn.to/37n7YM6. I highly recommend getting one, mine is in use on a weekly basis and I will be having more recipes coming! For just 70 USD you can get a pretty decent dehydrator!
Easy Raw Vegan Granola
Author:Cecilie Hjorth
PREP TIME: 15minutes
TOTAL TIME: 12 hours and 15 minutes
Servings: 10 portions
Category: Breakfast / Snack
Cuisine:Gluten-Free, Vegan, Low-Fat, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free, Raw Vegan
Does it keep?1-2 months in an air tight container in the fridge
A few hours before making the granola, soak chopped dates, nuts and raisins.
Add all ingredients for the granola in a bowl, finishing up with adding the protein powder, cinnamon, salt and agave syrup. Mix well
Spread the granola evenly on a dehydrator sheet. You want it to stick together, but make the layer thin enough for it to dehydrate well. If making it in the oven, keep the oven on the absolute lowest setting and bake overnight with the oven door slightly open for the air to flow well
After 12 hours, check if the granola is crunchy. It should stick together in big, dry chuncks. If needed, dehydrate for longer time
Once done, serve and enjoy! I love mine on top of a smoothie bowl. Add remainder to an air tight container and place in the fridge!
I hope you like it! If you make it, take a photo and tag @celiahjorth on Instagram and I will re-share it on my stories!

In today's video I am talking a bit about how I started modeling at age 25, and the main things I would recommend a beginner to implement. In today's day and age, it is never to late to start modeling, and even though I thought it was late, I am so grateful that I gave it a go! Here I am today, many jobs, travels and wonderful experiences later.
If you want to start modeling and don't know exactly how to, read my tips below and watch my full video here
1. Get to know what type of model you are
Are you a high fashion, commercial, curvy or petite model? Know your type and then look for agencies that represent your type. These are the agencies you want to apply to.
2. Get lots of experience.
Do lots of photoshoots, even if for free. But always find a professional or upcoming photographer as you want to make sure that you can learn and get good material from it. It is best if you can find the photographers from agencies or art schools. Instagram is another tool to look up photographers in your area.
3. Be nice.
Learn a bit of ettiquette and how to be around people. There is a lot of competition in this industry, and many jobs are through someone who knows someone. The nicer you are, the better and impression you leave people with, and the more likely they are to recommend you. Kindness is a strategy. But also know when to say no, and never do something that does not feel right. Know your own values and boundaries before you enter the industry. This is one major benefit I have had from starting late. I know when to say no and I am confident enough to do so.
4. Learn what diet works for you and move your body
Healthy lifestyle is key. Your body and face is your product, so experiment with different health regimes until you find one that makes you feel and look optimal. Always focus on health, not restriction. Some of the best models do not restrict their intake, they simply know how to eat healthy and in accordance with their body.
5. Get a role model
Find one or more models in the industry whom you really look up to. Use them as inspiration. Sometimes there will be challenges, then it helps to have something that inspires you to keep going. For me it is Candice Swanepoel, she gives me eternal inspiration and I keep her image in my house and as a background on my computer to keep myself inspired!
Before I start my story, I just want to say that water fasting can be a dangerous healing modality if done wrong and has to be done under professional medical supervision and only in the right conditions. Please do not do this at home. And please do not do this for weight loss!! I explain in the video why. My water fast was medically supervised and following the instructions to the t.
Today I wanted to go into depths with my experience of doing a 22 day water fast back in 2014. For 22 days straight I ate absolutely nothing, I was in bed all day and I just drank water. I wanted to cleanse and heal my body, and more importantly my soul. Did I achieve that? Watch the video below to see my full story!
To recap, I experienced the following benefits from the water fast:
50 pound weight loss overall
Healed connection with my body
Increased intuition and 6th sense
A renewed sense of life
Feeling reborn, new, ready to start a new life
Food tasting amazing and all cravings for junk- or unhealthy foods gone
But let's also be real, there are potential side-effects:
Long-term weight gain (gaining all the weight back and more)
Eating disorder like behaviour or full blown eating disorder
Loss of period for 7 months following
Purity or perfectionist, rigid mindset
Isolation from the rest of the world
While I am no expert in water fasting, I hope you enjoyed my video! If you want to know more, send me a message through my site or comment on my YouTube video :) If you want to start a healthier lifestyle, remember that it is all about your daily habits! Start by eating healthy today, a 10 day waterfast does not undo 2 years of poor food choices. I was eating healthy and wholesome both before and after the fast and it was never an excuse to break that pattern. The book you see below, I finished writing just before my fast and I published it right after. This was the way I was eating! Go have a look at it to get inspired on how to live a healthier lifestyle.

This week, I decided to post one of my go-to recipes. *I may have made it 10 times in the last month or so*
I love this recipe so much because I am a bit of a granola sucker, and to be honest, most granolas that you can buy in supermarkets, or even the health food stores, are not healthy. They are filled with oils, sugars or sweeteners and most of the time, gluten. I tend to steer away from them.
If you are like me, you do not have to be granola deprived any longer! The rescue is here!
This granola recipe is amazing becase you only need 1 bowl, and 15 minutes to make it. I make it many times before breakfast because it is so quick! Enjoy the recipe below and see the full instructions on my Youtube channel. Please share with everyone who could use some more healthy granola in their life!
*If you don't want to use date syrup, you can use 1/2 cup agave or maple syrup instead. See video for instructions on this.
Instructions
Turn on the oven on 350 °F (175 °C)
Pit, and soak the dates in the water for 2 hours.
Add the dates, water, vanilla and salt to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth. (Omit if using syrup)
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl. Mix well.
Add the syrup of your choice and mix well. It should be sticky and stick together in clusters.
Spread on a baking tray with baking paper on. Spread in to a thin layer. Add to the oven and bake for 10 minutes! Don't worry if it seems a bit moist when it comes out, once it dries it will become crunchy. Let it cool for 20 minutes before eating or adding to a container.
I hope you like it! If you make it, take a photo and tag @celiahjorth on Instagram and I will re-share it on my stories!

As you all know, I love sharing recipes with you all. I just love food. And to eat. Is that why I am a curvy model maybe? :D
I decided I wanted to make my recipes a bit more functional. I have been spending the whole week learning intensely about secret societies, conspiracy theories, illuminati etc and I have felt slightly inspired to upgrade my own habits a bit, so in case any of those conspiracy theories are true, ain't nobody gonna funk with my third eye! Definitely keep up with my Youtube channel to see everything I am learning about these conspiracy theories.
The third eye has been depicted throughout the ages as a mystical symbol with a lot of importance and value, and just today we are starting to realize the science behind it. In the ancient texts, the eye of horus was a symbol for many things, among one protection, good health and royal power. It was said that the eye of horus could protect against evil spells and it was referred to as the eye of God, the eye of the mind, the eye of truth and insight. Now we are starting to realize that the symbol itself actually represents pathways in the brain, and it comes to light that the egyptians knew a lot more about human anatomi and physiology than previously assumed.
To make a long story short, the pineal gland is a tiny, pea-sized gland located between your eyes, at the back of your brain. It is responsible for melatonin production, hence regulating sex and sleep urges, and it has recently been found that it contains photoreceptors, so it can actually perceive and interpret light! Just like our eyes. It is also responsible for interpreting the light entering our eyes in order to regulate melatonin production, but this also means that it is responsible for our perception and interpretation of everything we see! Perhaps the name third eye makes more sense now...
In the western world, most people have a calcified pineal gland, due to the ingestion of chemicals such as flouride (through tap water or dental hygiene products) and calcium. These get stored in the pineal gland and inhibit its function. This can interfere with sleep patterns, sex drive and, according to esoteric traditions, it can interefere with your intuition, ability to see higher frequencies, and access to higher knowledge and wisdom. I personally have have had a few experiences with practices that definitely did something positive to my third eye and it did lead to an increased intuition and knowing. I already see certain high frequency objects at times, such as light orbs and the etherial aura of people, but it is only when I am more centered and calm. I owe this, in part, to many of the healthy, natural foods that I eat!
In order to decalcify the pineal gland, the first step is to eliminate the causes of calcification, so eliminate tap water and include organic, natural dental products without flouride added in place of the mainstream ones (shhh, I use mms and it is the best thing that has ever happened to my teeth, see video on my YouTube channel). Secondly, we want to take some measures to actually decalcify the gland! There are many things you can do, such as meditation, breathing exercises, physical exercises and diet changes. Today I am going to share with you a very simple recipe that contains all ingredients that benefit and support the decalcification of the pineal gland! Keep on reading to get decalcified!
Pineal Gland Decalcifying Smoothie!

TOTAL TIME: 10 hours
Servings: 2 smoothies
Category: Breakfast / Snack
Cuisine:Gluten-Free, Vegan, Low-Fat, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free, Raw Vegan
Does it keep?1 day in the fridge
Ingredients
2 cups fresh, ripe, raw pineapple helps boost melatonin levels naturally! And hey, pineapples are named after the pineal gland, coincidence?
1 cup frozen blueberries (wild and organic is best) helps boost the glympathic system (the lymphatic system of the brain) hence helps in the cleansing of the pineal gland!
1 Tbsp Chlorella helps remove heavy metals from the blood stream, so that the blood sorounding the pineal gland is clean!
2 tsp MSM super high in sulfur which, together with Iodine, is one of the best minerals to cleanse out flouride.
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth!
That's it, serve and enjoy! Best enjoyed straight away for taste and optimal nutritional content. I find it delicious topped with some raw hemp seeds.

Welcome back to the blog! Today I am going to share one of my absolute go-to recipes, my daily green juice. I want to share it with you, because it is so simply and so easy to make. In my personal opinion, starting your day with fresh greens and liquid, is one of the best things you can do for your skin, health, happiness and energy levels.
While there is not much research on the subject yet, research suggests that eating greens on the daily can help reduce inflammation, heart-disease risk and age-related mental decline. There is also evidence that certain compounds in fresh juice can function as prebiotics, and prebiotics are related to healthy digestion, weight management and improved immune function (source). Simply put, it is also a very easy way to get in your daily dose of greens without having to chow down a giant bowl of salad!
While the juicing process can entail having a fancy juicer, going through pounds and pounds of fresh greens and vegetables, I wanted to make this recipe which is easy, simple and accesible for the average person with an average kitchen! Minimal dishes need to be cleaned!
If you haven't tried a green juice yet, and if the thought sounds unpleasent to you, please don't let it stop you. Because of the coconut water, this green juice has a pleasent and mild sweet taste that matches wonderfully with the earthy taste of the greens. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Today I am super excited to share a recipe with you all which honestly really surpassed my expectations. It is made with such few ingredients - bananas being one of the main ones. And if I may say so myself, I do happen to be a very experienced cinnamon roll eater, which is one the recipes I grew up with and happened to be one of my mom's expertise recipes. So there was a lot at stake making this recipe! But when I took the first bite, there was no way back. Oh my God, so filled to the brim with cream that I couldn't help but fall in love! And it's just made with fruit? HOW??
Keep reading to learn how!
Raw Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Author:Cecilie Hjorth
PREP TIME: 15minutes
TOTAL TIME: 12 hours and 15 minutes
Servings: 10 small cinnamon rolls
Category: Dessert / Snack
Cuisine:Gluten-Free, Vegan, Low-Fat, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free, Raw Vegan
Does it keep?1-2 days in the fridge. Eat fast as banana oxidizes quickly.
Ingredients
1 cup soaked dates (I used this kind) + some of the saoking water
Prepare the bananas the night before so they can dehydrate the overnight. See video below for full instructions. Slice the bananas into 3-4 pieces, lengthwise, and place them on the dehydrator tray. Dehydrate overnight at 40 Celsius (115 Fahrenheit)
The morning after, check the texture of the bananas. They have to be rubbery yet firm.
Once you are ready to prepare the filling, add dates and cinnamon to a high speed blender. I recommend a vitamix. Add a bit of the water from the soaked dates in order for it to blend more effeciently. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This filling lasts a week in the fridge, so you can prepare beforehand if you wish.
Spread the filling along a banana slice, lengthwise, and roll it up. Repeat, and roll the next banana slice round the first already rolled one, in order to make a bigger cinnamon roll. You can even use small or broken pieces of the banana, as they can all help make the cinnamon roll bigger.
Once all rolled up, add to the dehydrator for another 1-2 hours. This will heat them up slightly and make them more firm. This step is optional but I found they came out more delicious like this!
Once done, make the icing by mixing cashew butter, agave syrup and vanilla well. Top the cinnamon buns generously with this.
Ready to eat! Best to eat right away, they last only 1-2 days in the fridge before the banana part gets too oxidized.
I hope you like it! If you make it, take a photo and tag @celiahjorth on Instagram and I will re-share it on my stories!

Yesterday I shared a post on my Instagram talking about something very close to my heart: Nutrition!
As a model, it matters what you eat, not only for your looks but also for your energy levels. It's a busy and demanding lifestyle that sometimes include last minutes schedule changes, lots of traveling and early mornings. And of course, strenuous workouts. For that, I want to eat my best to look and feel my best.
In my post, I shared how I see the daily choices of our meals and how they affect our lives

I promised to share the recipe of the oatmeal from the post, so here it is. This oatmeal is inspired by Romee Strijd.

I hope you are all well, despite everything going on in the world. Before I even get in to the recipe, I just want to mention that I just published a free guide on CDS, a substance having been proven to be effective against corona, and I want to spread it for free. Just scroll down to the bottom of my website and subscribe, and you will get an email with the download link :) Feel free to share this information with others by referring them to my site.
Anyways, back to the food topic!
With all the time at home, I end up cooking a lot, because it is something that really calms me down. And let's be honest, I like to eat. Does that happen to anyone else? Obviously, as a model, I have to be considerate about what I am eating, generally I only eat processed and refined food 1-2 times per week, so in-between that, I make healthy recipes like this one, so I can still "indulge"!
These vegan snickers bars not only taste amazing, but they are completely refined sugar-free and low fat as well! They contain very few ingredients and only take 10 min to prepare. I may have made them several times this week already *confession*.
To see how to make them, watch video below or follow instructions further down.
Pit, and soak the dates in warm water for 1-2 hours.
Add the dates, peanut butter, salt and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a bit of water or plant milk to make it blend, but make sure it still maintains a caramel-like texture.
Keep 2 Tbsp of the date caramel in the blender and add the oat flour. Blend. As well, add small amounts of liquid if needed.
Add the oat layer to a Tupperware. Then top with caramel layer and sprinkle with peanuts. Add to the freezer for 60-90 minutes for it to set.
After 90 minutes, start preparing the topping by melting all of thetopping ingredients together in a bowl placed over a pot with boiling water. Stir frequently. Once fully melted, take the Snickers out of the freezer and add the chocolate on top. As the snickers is already frozen, the chocolate will harden quickly. Wait 5 minutes and it is ready to serve and eat!
I hope you like it! If you make it, take a photo and tag @celiahjorth on Instagram and I will re-share it on my stories!
