This was one of our most popular protein recipes at Wanderlust 108 Battersea this year, as soon as a batch was made it was gone again!
We recently shared the recipe for our Avocado and Banana Raw Cake that we made on the day (which also didn’t hang around for long) and were met with an influx of Wanderlust attendees who also wanted the recipe to this amazing (if we do say so ourselves) Lemon and Pistachio Cake.
A great source of protein, it can be a filling and tasty alternative to shop-bought cakes and snacks – we hope you enjoy it as much as our Wanderlust friends did!

Protein raw Cake Method
- Add almonds, pistachios, protein powder, sweetener, mixed nuts and maca powder into a food processor and blend into a flour.
- Add lemon, water and blend into a sticky, crumbly mixture.
- Transfer into a parchment-lined Tupperware container and press down into a flat, even crust.
- Freeze the base while working on the next layer.
- Scoop out the avocados from their skins. Blend all the “cream” ingredients in a high-power blender until you have a smooth & creamy consistency.
- Spoon the mixture on top of the prepared crust.
- Freeze for 2 hours. Slice it up and decorate with fresh strawberries, sprinkle with crushed pistachio. Enjoy!
