Basic Raw Food Week

This week's basic raw food meal plan is for you if you are easily overwhelmed or have little time to spare. This raw food meal plan is perfect for you if you are extremely busy and thrive on repetition. The idea behind this meal plan is that you will quickly get familiar with these basic raw food recipes through repetition. In other words, you will eat the same thing almost every day! The good news is that once you get bored with this meal plan, you can move on to the next meal plans that feature more variety.

FAQs:

The above amounts are already reflected in the shopping list, but I have included these details to help you know what to do.
