sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
This is a quick simple salad for those of you with a sweet tooth. Choose a nice ripe pineapple. Look for one that is yellower on the outside and smells fragrant. If it’s still quite green it will be tart and can burn your mouth. Unfortunately most fruit we buy from the supermarket is picked before is has fully ripened to extend the shelf life. However, you can sit your pineapple on the shelf for a few days to ripen if there are no ripe ones available. Eating fully ripened fruit is important. The fruit has properly developed and has just the right amount of enzymes to help you to digest it properly.
For an easy lunch option I keep a packet of nori sheets in the cupboard at work so I can stuff them with whatever greens and veges I bring with me or grab from the supermarket. Sprouts make a great stuffing for nori rolls as they are nice and compact allowing you to roll it up nicely. Almost any vegetable works in a nori roll, zucchini or cucumber, grated carrot, tomatoes, olives, herbs, the combinations are endless. Asparagus is right in season now and it’s the perfect shape for a nori roll.
Red cabbage is one of my favourite leaves to use as a wrap. It looks amazing, it’s crunchy and you can fit a lot into one leaf. It’s one of the things we raw foodies use as a bread substitute. The ingredients below are pretty much what I had in the fridge today. You could just as easily use things like cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts or leftover salad. Whatever takes your fancy.
This dessert is made without avocado, nuts or coconut unlike most desserts! It's easy, chocately and creamy. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
Don't want to waste perfect good morning juice pulp? Have ingredients that you don't know what to do with? MAKE SALSA! I have been experimenting with the pulp of my morning smoothies. The combinations of this recipe are endless so have fun! I put it on veggie pulp crackers that i made with pulp and sprouted wheatberries and rejuvelac.
P.s. please forgive me on the lack of measurements but the good news is it's only salsa, keep tasting until you get it right!
Other variations I am waiting to try-
mint with all fruit pulp and cilantro and cinnamon or nutmeg or cardamon or all 3 and processing with whole mango or pineapple
add avocado for a little guac-salsa in one feeling
add corn for corn salsa...
add sundried tomatoes...
