Good food made in a hurry & on a dime
Soak everything except zucchini slices for at least 30 minutes, then blend! Pour over your zucchini pasta, and top with additional cashews and salt and pepper. Parsley or dill would also be a great addition.
I don’t think summer salads could possibly get any better than this one.
BLEND!
Hey guys!
So I’m on day three of my raw challenge and I’m really enjoying it so far. I’ve made salsa fresca, romaine tacos, collard wraps, creamy cucumber soup, many smoothies, and taco salad. I love everything I’ve made so far, and still have a ton of recipes to try out (thanks again for all the submissions!) I think some rewards are in order for doing so well these last few days, so expect to see some desserts on here soon.
In between these lovely meals I’ve shared with you, I’ve been eating a lot of nuts (almonds, walnuts and cashews) as well as endless fresh fruit (peaches, bananas, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, pineapple, figs, dates etc.) I track everything I eat on My Fitness Pal, and I’m happy to say that I’ve been getting more than enough protein, iron and calcium. So ha, take that doubters!
As far as any differences I feel, definitely more energy and just feeling overall better. You can ask any clean eater, and they’ll describe to you the feeling of “being light” after a meal instead of heavy and tired. I couldn’t be happier. I’ll keep ya posted on the rest of the week!
Love and veggies,

Okay, I’m about to change your life, so listen up! Blend walnuts, tomato and cumin together and BOOM. You have the perfect taco filling. It’s so delicious, I can’t even begin to tell you. So just go make some and try it yourself.
1) Blend together your walnuts, one tomato, cumin and cayenne. That’s your “taco meat.” (but obviously 100x better)
2) Chop your lettuce, other tomato and onion. Toss together.
3) Top with walnut meat and avocado.
This is the first raw/chilled soup I made, and I LOVE it! Had it for lunch two days in a row.
1) Puree the avocado, olive oil and garlic together.
2) Add in most of your cucumber, dill and onion, but reserve some to garnish.
3) And yeah, that’s it. It’s so easy and delicious. Makes two servings!
Raw Challenge Day Two - Lunch. Probably the healthiest lunch I’ve ever eaten, just saying.
Wrap that baby up and BOOM. So. Many. Veggies.
Raw Challenge Day One - Dinner
Fill up your tacos and enjoy!
I ate this salsa on top of my romaine tacos (to be posted later!) with some avocado, but you could eat it with tortilla chips, celery stalks, on a wrap, or the leftovers by themselves (totally did that.)
It’s so simple, I don’t know why I never made it before.
Why wait til Monday when I can start being RAWESOME tomorrow? I stocked up on a ton of fruit from Trader Joe’s yesterday, so all I need are my veggies (more like half of the produce section from Whole Foods…) and I’ll be good to go! Let the detoxing begin.
Leave any recipe requests/grocery list suggestions/general questions in my ask and I’ll check them out in the morning!
Love and veggies,
Madde
Hey guys! One of my friends suggested I do a raw food challenge, and well, why not? So I’m going to be eating raw vegan for a week, starting Monday June 4th. I’m doing all of my prep work now, checking out recipes and suggestions online. Luckily a lot of farmers markets have kicked off here in Boston for the summer, so I can get my hands on some fresh, local produce.
What I need from y’all now are suggestions. What kind of recipes would you like to see me try? What’s your favorite fruit or vegetable to eat raw? Do you have any questions about eating raw? What would you like to hear from me the most while I complete the challenge?
