Home and hungry after spinning on the machines at the gym. What do you do? A raw-burger of course!
- Yellow bell peppers (as bread buns)
- Tomato as base, olives and jalapeño (as meat)
- Cucumber, ice-burg salad
- Sauerkraut and some nutritional yeast (as cheese)
- Tomato on top
- Carrot sticks (as french fries)
![Morning has broken, like the first morning are the words I sing when preparing this #1 Beta Carotene Drink as Jay Kordich [1] puts it. I thought throwing the seeds to the side was kind of strange so I researched the matter further. It turns out that a team of researchers in Iran, that analyzed the cantaloupe seeds came to suggest that “a beverage made from orange concentrate and the milk extracted from cantaloupe seeds may be a viable dietary substitute for cow’s milk.” [2] How convienient isn’t that? We were always throwing away the seeds and core of the fruit as waste! Not anymore though! Simply,
50 / 50 on cantaloupe, carrots and add cold water after own preference
Mix, drink and shine!

Steam cooked veggies after we got the steam kettle for X-mas present (thanks T&T). This was really simple, just rinse and prepare the veggies for steaming. Let steam for about 7 minutes or how cooked you like them (not overcooked ey?). On the picture you can glimpse an apricot and radish salsa with some (warning raw ninjas: mayonaisse) and virgin olive oil. Not 100% yet but going there. This meal was infact the best meal I’ve had in years! So simple and sooo good! Try it! You wont regret it!
What’s your raw-not raw ratio? The percentage here still swings quite much. I think we are about 80% raw and 20% not raw of the food intake here at the moment. It’s surprisingly hard to go 100% raw directly because not only do you have to reprogram the thought of heating and over-preparation of the food but you have to connect with new suppliers of organic fruits and vegetables. And finding the suppliers can be really hard even though there is a stampede by Big Food to get us raw foodists to keep going to their store. Lets get to the point: nut milk!
Cow milk, cheese and all those dairy products have negative sides the industry won’t tell you about. This is where nut milk comes in as a transitional food for leaving milk. There’s many ways to do nut milk. I simply searched for it on a search engine and found this: this http://www.vt-fiddle.com/rawfood/how_to_make_nut_milk.php
- Brazil nuts soaked overnight in water (in fridge)
- 1 nuts and 3 water in the mixer (depends on how creamy you want it)
- Some dates to sweeten it up and some vanilla to add a dimension
- We used a 100% nylon sock (made for keepin laundry) to squeeze out the milk
- Nut mash is in the fridge for future use (see the referenced site for mindblowers)
Milk can be made successfully from the following seeds/nuts: sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, hemp seeds, cashews, walnuts, pecans. I can report that the milk is best served cold!
We made these rawlicious wraps yesterday for dinner. I really like to go minimalistic on the bread intake and this the way to go in my opinion. The real raw way would of course be to make the wrap in the salad directly but sometimes you need fibers and this is where some breads are simply is in a class of their own.
- The bread is the simplest you can find on wheat tortilla recipes but the wheat meal portion was mixed to include rye and corn meal.
- The filling consists of zuccini, iceburg sallad, arugula, cashew nut, pea sprouts and on top a homemade salsa.
- The salsa is really just chopped radish, tomato, red onion, basil, lemon juice, cayenne, salt and pepper.
