Your 1 Day Raw Food Menu

Have you ever noticed how good you feel after eating a big salad or demolishing a bowl of fresh berries? It’s nice, right? That’s why some people are taking those refreshing raw food vibes to the next level. Raw foodism, a diet consisting mainly of uncooked and unprocessed food, goes far beyond blueberries and romaine lettuce. Techniques like fermenting, spiralizing, dehydrating and blending transform raw ingredients into nutrient-dense masterpieces. There are a few types of raw food eating patterns, most of which are based on an abundance of delicate, easy-to-digest plants. It’s a different way of “cooking”: foods are usually not heated above 118 F, and other preparation methods are prioritized. Because there is little to no heat applied in the raw food kitchen, foods are kept “living,” which preserves the integrity of many nutrients. And some raw “cooking” techniques, like sprouting and fermenting, unlock valuable nutrients, rendering an ingredient more digestible. A mini diet reset is perfect in the spring (you know you deserve it!). Try a meal or an entire day of raw dining.
