Naturbageriet Sattva Stockholm Sweden, Vegan Bakery, Raw, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Best Cinnamon Rolls in Stockholm Sweden

This bakery is the very best. They have gluten free, vegan, raw, sugar free, and organic.
These pictures have a 1000 vegan smiles from me:)
When you step into the bakery it is a tiny, but full of many delicious treats.
It is pretty much all vegan, there are some sandwiches with cheese.
In the window you see kanal bullar (cinnamon rolls), I have had many vegan cinnamon rolls
they were dry and hard, and very little flavor or super tiny and costs a fortune.
Not this one, they where so soft and  full of cinnamon with a not so sweet icing.
They cost 20kr, which is really good, they are giant size. I even bought one and had it
the next day, I heated it up and spread vegan butter on top AMAZING!!!!!
 The poppy seed pastry is filled with vanilla custard. Very delicious it is flaky crust and covered with poppy seeds on top, very large piece:) cost is 20kr. They also make there own bread. The next picture is of the outside, of course these 3 guys had to sit down as I took the picture, so I will tell you what they are eating.
 It is like a calzone, a calzone is pastry that is filled with different ingredients.That day it was olive tofu,
spinach tofu, or curry tofu they cost 25kr. They also make most lushes pie, pear pecan, it is layered with pears and topped with tons of pecans, If you like pecan pie, you will love this one, even good cold the next day:) cost 30kr. The piece was large;) They also make a blomma (flower in Swedish) it is coconut oil, raisin, nuts, dates, they mix it and make it into a solid flower mold, cost 10kr
My favorite thing is the choklad  drom (chocolate dream) which is all of that.
They mix chocolate and dates, raisins, coconut oil, nuts, seeds and make it into a bar. It is very rich and chocolaty, kind of like a chocolate bar filled with a hole lot of yummy! I can eat half of a bar at a time:)
Here is a picture of it, sorry it is so grainy!

I have given you some of my favorites, but they sell many more things as well, you can have coffee, tea, and chai. The cost is between 15-25kr. (soy milk for cappuccinos!)
A bonus is they have a pre-made smoothie in the cooler for 20kr:)
When you are in Stockholm, you must try this Bakery, you surely will not be disappointed.
The location is great, they are on the island of Galma Stan (which is where the old city is)
The address is Stora Nygatan 6, Stockholm, Sweden,
5 minute walk from the metro!!(Galma Stan stop).
The best selection is usually before lunch time!!!!

Spaghetti Asparagus with Avocado dressed with a Sweet Date Sauce

Every one has liked the asparagus recipe that I have posted, so I have a very special one
to share with you all.
This one is decadent, and it is a very WOW presentation, but it is our secret it was so easy;)
I can't stop eating this one, the combination is creamy and sweet with the earthy
flavor of the asparagus YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!


Spaghetti Asparagus with Avocado dressed with Sweet Date Sauce

Serves 2

6 asparagus stalks
1 avocado
4 dates
1 Tablespoon butter (vegan)
sea salt
squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Wash asparagus then cut it in half the long way, then cut it in half again the long way,
so you have 4 long strips from 1 stalk of asparagus.
In a small stock pot boil water like you are making spaghetti, add a good pinch of sea salt.
Add asparagus strips to boiling water and blanch for 3 minutes.
Then drain, and put on paper towel to absorb excess water.
Wash avocado, and cut open, scoop out the flesh.
Add pinch of sea salt, and squeeze lemon juice over,
mash with fork until creamy.
In a small saute pan melt butter, cut dates into small pieces, add to pan
stir for a few minutes until caramel color.
Cooks quickly so watch it closely.
Place asparagus spaghetti on a plate and add half the avocado creme to the top,
then spoon half the date sauce on top and around the plate.
