What should I eat?!?!?

Question

I'm starting my raw veganism tomorrow and i'm gonna continue till the end of the summer! What types of things should I eat?!?! Any raw vegans out there to tell me what its like by any chance?!?!

Answer 1

Salads, fruits, vegetables.  Gazpacho and Vichyssoise are also really good if you like cold soups.  

There's lots of yummy recipes here:

Drink lots of tea or warm water too though,  a completely cold/raw food diet can damage your GI Tract, even if you're only doing it for a few months.

Answer 2

you should eat what ever you want who caresssssssssssssss

Answer 3

Salads with fruits, veggies, and nuts added. Can you have nuts? Or do they also have to be raw? Cashews are pretty good raw, but I'm not so sure about the others.

I personally LOVE a salad with romaine lettuce, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, pecans, blueberries, ETC.

Also you can try tomatoes and tofu. Are you allowed to have any salad dressing??

I would starve to death on a raw food diet, I would lose my mind!! I love eating south indian style vegan, but I like my food cooked!!

Good luck!!

Answer 4

There are lots of recipes out there invest in a dryer its a device that dries vegetables a dehydrator it dehydrates vegetables.Useful in making the raw flatbreads like in this recipe.

Flat Bread

1 C rye, sprouted

1 C lentils, sprouted

1/4 t caraway seeds

1 t dried onion flakes

1 T Braggs or to taste

1/4 C tahini

Put rye and lentils through Champion with solid plate. Mix in remaining ingredients. Press into patties and dehydrate for 12-24 hours at 105 degrees until crisp.

I think its great that you are trying new things just make sure you are getting all the food groups and all the iron you need.

Do a lot of reading and research to make sure you eat healthy.

Raw Oatmeal

by Nomi Shannon

© 1998 Nomi Shannon. Please copyright notice below.

1/2 Cup raw whole oats *, soaked overnight in pure water to cover.

1/4 Cup almonds, soaked overnight in pure water to cover.

2 figs or 2 pitted dates, soaked in 1/2 cup pure water overnight.

1/2 banana dash of cinnamon

In the morning, drain and discard water from oats and almonds. Rinse almonds. Put oats, almonds, fruit and fruit soak water in blender and blend until fairly smooth. Add banana and cinnamon and blend quickly. Serves 1. Eat immediately.

note: Finding raw oats is difficult. My favorite source tells me that because whole raw oats turn rancid quite quickly, the companies that supply it are "lightly steaming" the oats after harvest. This is not a good thing - as steam reaches 212 degrees and will destroy all the enzymes. Ask your source, but don’t be surprised if they don’t really know that this is what is happening to the oats. If you find a truly raw source - or are a truly raw source of Organic whole oats-please contact this author. This is a delicious and hearty recipe, but unless you are sure the oats are truly raw - don’t indulge in it too often. Try this same recipe with other whole raw grains such as Barley, Kamut or Spelt.

Chopped Zucchini Mexicano

by Nomi Shannon

Serve this ‘hot’ and pretty salad on a bed of sprouts or as stuffing in a red pepper. Use the highly flavored jalapeno, garlic and cilantro to taste.   Some jalapenos are devilishly hot, so be careful. This salad is intended to be a side dish rather than an entree. It looks attractive on the plate and its intense flavor works well as a condiment.

1 medium Zucchini, chopped

1/4 red onion, chopped

1/2 red pepper, chopped

1/2 - 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (to taste)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (or more, to taste)

1 small clove garlic, minced

Pinch ground coriander seed

Dash Bragg’s

Dash lemon juice

Toss together, adjust seasonings. Serves 3-4 as a side dish.

Good luck
