Raw Vegan Veggie Wraps

My Easy Raw Vegan Recipe, Veggie Wraps!   

  I was inspired to make a raw vegan veggie wrap. My dad grew these greens and they are big hardy leaves. My dad says it's a type of Kale. 

I was already looking at a way to make vegan honey mustard dressing. So I cut up some red bell peppers, avocado, some mushrooms and radishes. 

I made that honey mustard sauce and wrapped it all up in the leaves. Topped with some hemp hearts. I ate about six of these in various sizes until I was stuffed! 

The sauce made all the difference. Honey mustard has always been one of my favorites! This recipe is simple and tasty. Perfect for wraps like this! 

Vegan Not Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe

In a bowel whisk together.

1/4 cup organic Dijon mustard

2 tbs maple syrup

1/4 tsp garlic powder 

And that's it! 

Use in all of your favorite raw vegan recipes like wraps, and salads. 

To make a wrap like this all you need are some big leaves. Use your choice of green leaves. 

Thinly slice bell peppers, avocados, radishes, mushrooms whatever else you like in it.  

This make an easy veggie meal that tasted great!

Raw Vegan Spinach Dip

AUTHENTIC Easy RAW VEGAN SPINACH DIP RECIPE!

 I have been wanting to make this recipe ever since I saw Chris Kendall's video. I been meaning to make it ever since. If you read my Raw Vegan "tuna" Salad recipe post you know that I'm always looking for good dips to get me eating my veggies more often. 

This Authentic Raw Vegan Spinach Dip is one of those recipes! 

 I decided to get on it and make at least one raw recipe every week. I do a lot of smoothies and fruit which I love. But I been trying to get more veggies and greens in my diet as well. 

My dad grew broccoli and cauliflower this season so I been eating that with hummus as a dip. But hummus isn't the best option unless it's a raw vegan version of it. 

So finding myself easy raw dip options is a must!  

I knew when I saw Chris' video below for the first time that I needed a recipe like this in my life. I'm glad I final decided to make it. This one definitely goes down as one of my go to dips! 

For this platter I used..

1 bell pepper, 4 carrots, 1 cucumber, as well as a few radishes and mushrooms. 

I had my Spinach Dip with my veggies like you see in the picture. This made an nutritious and filling meal for me. I am glad I finally put this recipe to the test. 

Check out the video below and Chris can tell you how to make this rawsome dip! I did add a pinch of salt for my taste. Chris didn't say to use salt in his recipe but I added a little pink salt for my taste. 

Other than that this is a great raw vegan spinach dip!

              

Make this recipe and taste for yourself!

Raw Vegan "Tuna" Salad

Easy Raw Vegan "Tuna" Salad Recipe

 One of my favorite dishes that I have made so far in my journey!

  I'm always looking for a few really good raw staple recipes, to keep me eating the raw nutritious foods that I need. I love to keep it fruit based but add in some mineral rich vegetables as well. My biggest problem with eating raw veggies is that I need a good dip! Without a tasty dip forget about it I don't even try to eat raw veggies. 

In the above picture my raw vegan "tuna" salad with carrots, green bell pepper, cucumber and celery.

  I am looking for a few more tasty dips but this one is my current favorite. I also like this in romaine lettuce boats shown in the picture below. You can top it with what ever you like! This make a great meal or snack. Sorry about picture quality I just took them with my phone and added it here. 

 I found this Easy Raw Vegan "Tuna" Salad recipe on the Yummly app to start with. I did make a few adjustments. I first learned about raw vegan "tuna" salad when my friend had it with her veggie platter. I decided to make it and I loved it!

The Recipe that I use...

This was 1 cup raw sunflower seeds soaked for 2 hours. 

In a food processor add the soaked and drained seeds

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup chopped celery

Juice of half a lemon

1 good size dill pickle chopped

1/2 tbsp. agave syrup

1/4 tsp onion powder 

1/4 tsp paprika

Pinch of salt (I use pink salt) and pepper 

 

Process until you have reached desired consistency. For a dip I like to blend it a bit smoother but if you are eating this in romaine lettuce you may want it chunkier. This recipe taste just like tuna salad in my opinion but without the fishiness. 

This dish tastes clean and it is filling. Sunflower seeds are packed with minerals and nutrient. I myself try to get them in for the high selenium content. Sunflower seeds are also easier to digest than some other seeds or nuts. 

If you soak them they are even easier to digest. I find that my stomach is not bother by them. This is just some of the reasons why I like to have sunflower seeds on hand. Sometimes I put them in a smoothie too. 

Also I should say that if you use this as a dip don't expect it to be creamy or real dip-able. This recipe has a chunky texture even when you blend it more. I didn't want to blend it too much because I thought it would take away the flavors if I did that. 

So it's more of a scoop than a dip lol! 

Sunflower seeds offer plenty of good fats, vitamins, mineral and plant protein. A great base for a raw vegan meal. When you add up all of the veggies too, this meal is packed with nutrition! This made me a filing and nutritious meal :)

This recipe make about 1/2 a pound of mixture. I eat nearly the whole thing with my veggies for a meal or split it up into two. I usually end up sharing some of it with others in my family. But most of it is for me :) In the picture below I have my veggies and Raw Vegan "tuna" Salad mixture ready for me to eat. 

I prepped my veggies by cutting up 3 carrots, 2 talks of celery, 1 bell pepper and half of a long cucumber. It is a good idea to have food like this prepped so you have an easy meal to go for. Then you won't eat whatever is in front of you that is not too great. This is especially good for those who are also preparing for a family like me. 

If your not a big eater just split this recipe up into two meals with lots of veggies and or romaine lettuce. At 24 grams of protein this can certainly be for two meals or one meal two people. But for a main meal this is great for one person. 

I recently bought 2 pounds of raw sunflower seed just so I can make this recipe more regularly. I need the mineralization of eating my veggies and sunflower seeds. I don't eat them every day but I am trying to get more into doing that. 

This recipe and a few others is how I am going to do it!   

This recipe is also great for make ahead of time meals. I like to prep my food in the morning when I am not eating. That way when I am ready to eat my food is ready and available. 

 Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope this helps you in some way!

My Green Goddess salad | Raw Food Recipes

 I decided to try the Green Goddess salad!

   I saw it first on My Healthy Dish YouTube channel. 

This is an Easy Raw Vegan Recipe that you are sure to love.

I am always looking for ways to eat more raw green foods. I looked up a few versions of this salad but decided to make my own version out of what I already had in the fridge. I think it turned out pretty good so I am documenting it here for those who want to try. You can customize it to what you like and to what you have in your fridge. Bottom line is use what you have, make it taste good and eat it lol! 

First I made my dressing;

I used my small blender that I bought for making dressings. I have a Vitamix but it is too big for my dressings. If I was making a larger amount I would use my Vitamix. In this case I was only making enough for one meal. See the Kitchen Ware Must Have Items page for the blender the I use.

In a blender use; 1 clove garlic, about 3 tablespoons worth of chives, 1 stalk of celery, and a little bit of ginger. When using garlic and ginger use what you like, both these herbs can be very overpowering. And, 1/2 cup soaked cashews, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 dates and a bit of water to thin it out a little. Use water carefully so that you can add it as needed. 

You can make it as thick as you want! 

Make sure to soak your raw cashews for about 15 minutes before using. This will make a creamier dressing for your greens and easier to digest. Blend and set aside :) 

For the salad I used; 

1 cucumber, 1 zucchini, a decent handful of spinach, 1 stalk celery, a little over 1 cup raw broccoli chopped and and 1/2 cup some chicory we had growing in the garden. Honestly the chicory was very bitter so I didn't use too much. Some romaine or iceberg lettuce would have been better. You can use lettuce, and whatever else you like. For the amount of dressing that this recipe made, it was about six cups of salad material in my bowel. 

I then poured the dressing over the salad and mixed it up well. I like it when it's all mixed together. 

I like my salads coated well with the dressing. So it turned out to make about 1 cup of dressing and like I said the salad material was a out 6 cups. This dressing was pretty good for me and a fat based dressing is the best when you are eating greens. I feel like the fat helps the greens go down and make it more palatable for me. It also breaks up the acidity of the lemon. For those who are watching your sugar you may omit the dates in this recipe. I did not use any salt or additional spices. 

       It took me about an hour to eat this since I took my time and was creating this blog post. But it was a satisfying salad and I didn't need to run to the store to buy anything. If you don't have cashews on hand try hemp hearts, soaked walnuts or even avocado will do. There is certainly many ways to make a green goddess salad. Look up some recipes and use what you have. 

          You can always substitute lemon or lime juice for vinegar, and whatever fat that you want to use. I personally avoid oils and find it much better to use a whole avocado instead. I also avoid salt so I didn't add any of that, since the celery is a great salt substitute. I liked this salad pretty well, and I was able to get these greens in me. It was also very filling and I did not feel a craving for anything else. 

A win, win for sure! 

This day I fasted until noon as usual, with the exception of lemon water first thing in the morning, then at noon I ate a good sized 6 banana and 1 tablespoon cacao smoothie. Until early evening when I made this salad. I took my time eating it and other than a few oranges will be my last meal. I try to keep things simple and light. The cashews was my fat for the day but I try not to eat that much fat every day. Like I said it does help with eating greens quite well, and I do need to eat more greens.

When it comes to a successful raw diet adding greens in the form of smoothies, juices, and salads is a must for satisfying meals that you don't find yourself wanting anything else. Green vegetable and fruits like I made here in this salad will give you many nutrients that you need. Not to mention filing!
