4 Raw Food Recipes to Get You Started Today

by Swayze

By far the hardest thing about going raw is figuring out what to eat on a meal-to-meal basis.  That’s why I have tried to make things super simple for you with my report The 4 Principles of a Healthy Raw Diet and the 5-week mini-course The Fool Proof Transition to Raw.

You can get both the report and the emailed mini-course by subscribing in the form below:

Even with these resources, I know it’s still difficult to go raw.  We live in a cooked food world and eating raw just seems so difficult…even preposterous!

The best thing I can do for you is give you some recipes to get started.  Here is an entire day’s worth of low fat, high fruit raw vegan recipes!

Breakfast: Banana Blueberry Bonanza

Ingredients:

  • 5 bananas
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • water

Directions:

Blend!  The amount of water used is completely up to you.  I prefer thinner smoothies so 1.5 cups would be about perfect for me.

Lunch: Better Than Candy Confection

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 large piña criollo or yellow pineapple
  • 4 large banano criollo or cavendish bananas
  • 2 large mangos

Directions:

Core and dice the pineapple and mangos. Peel and slice the bananas. Mix everything in a large bowl and enjoy immediately!

Note:

This recipe was contributed by fellow fruit-loving raw foodist Karmyn Malone as part of my raw recipe book Low Fat, Fruit Filled, High Fun Raw Recipes.

Dinner Fruit Meal: Peaches and Blueberries

Ingredients:

  • 8 medium peaches
  • 1 pint blueberries

Directions:

Half, pit, and chop up the peaches (I prefer to peel mine first, but it isn’t necessary).  Mix together with the blueberries in a big (and I mean BIG) bowl.

Dinner Savory Meal: Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Hass avocado
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 medium tomatoes, diced
  • (Optional): lime juice
  • (Optional): handful cilantro
  • 2 large heads romaine lettuce

Directions:

Peel and mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in chopped bell pepper, tomatoes, squeeze of lime juice and cilantro (if desired).  Spoon mixture into lettuce leaves and down the hatch!

I really hope you enjoy these delicious and healthy raw recipes and that they help you stop procrastinating and go raw TODAY!

And remember, each meal can easily be modified for taste or calories needed.  If you don’t like blueberries, substitute raspberries or blackberries instead.  If you need double the amount of calories for breakfast, don’t hesitate to double the recipe. :)

Go raw and be fit,
