The Rawtarian

Raw chips come in all varieties, from yam to corn, zucchini to kale. And even seaweed! And they all taste oh, so good.

Chia seeds are used to thicken and add texture to many different types of recipes. Did you know you could thicken smoothies and shakes with chia seeds? Same with sauces and puddings and more! Plus, they are a dandy source of dietary fibre!

There’s chocolate for the choccy lovers, and fruit for the err… fruit-y lovers! The only hard part about this is choosing which recipe to make!

There’s nothing more refreshing than freshly blended juice. The great thing about juices is that you can make them simple (with one ingredient: think carrot juice). Or you can add more ingredients for extra kick and flavor. Besides being simple to make and lovely to look at, juices are super nutritious.

These raw chocolates are super easy to make and all you need is a blender and a freezer. Your chocolates must be kept in the freezer all the time, otherwise they will melt 🙂 I recently updated the photography for this recipe. I used these adorable little silicone chocolate molds to get such cute little chocolate squares. They turned out perfectly!
Also, in the pictures you can see there is some discoloration from where the coconut oil seperated a little bit. Don’t sweat it, they still taste to die for.

The blender is the most important appliance in your kitchen. If you haven’t realized that yet, you will soon! I’ve compiled for you the 5 easiest raw vegan blender recipes. These recipes are all super dee-lish, and simple to make. Let’s start with something sweet…

Holidays and sweet treats go hand in hand. Just because you are raw doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy festive treats along with everyone else! In fact, the following yummy recipes will leave your guests asking for more…

… and totally in awe that they are eating raw!

Holiday recipes usually conjure up visions of mashed potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Am I right? Well, you can have these recipes (and more!), raw vegan style! No need to deprive yourself of seasonal favorites, plus your guests will love them, too! I myself cannot do without raw eggnog during the festive season. Must have my eggnog!

In a rush, and want dinner fast? With work and family and life happening around us 24/7, sometimes it seems like such an effort to make a meal. Don’t let yourself go hungry, or grab something that isn’t good for you (like chips or cookies!).

This is a delightful seasonal cranberry apple raw pie recipe. It’s a crustless pie, so there’s only 1 step needed. A food processor is required. Serve from the freezer. It keeps very well.

Raw pumpkin pie recipes are not something that are in my everyday recipe rotation. However, around Halloween or at Thanksgiving or Christmas it’s nice to have a raw pumpkin pie recipe you can turn to for special occasions.

Raw chocolate shake recipes have saved the day once again. Over the past few days I’ve had some sweet-tooth cravings, I’m not afraid to admit it. In order to quell the sweet tooth, I’ve been making more desserts than normal.

I am famous for my delicious raw sweets, but I thought I’d share a simple lunch meal with you today. I love making my own alfalfa sprouts, and this is a great little meal to enjoy fresh sprouts with. (If you don’t have sprouts, you can use finely chopped spinach instead.)

These creamy, fudgy popsicles have an excellent, chewy, fudgy texture. They are a perfect summer treat!

This recipe is for three large meal-sized servings. Feel free to double the taco meat recipe if you prefer. The taco “meat” keeps VERY well in the fridge for around 4 days! Seriously, the “taco meat” keeps superbly so it’s a perfect recipe to keep in the fridge for quick meals.

These raw Asian-inspired noodles are my live version of one of those instant noodle packs that are popular as instant side-dishes that pack zero nutrition. Plus, I’d argue that my recipe is even quicker to prepare (since you don’t have to boil and wait), as long as you have a spiralizer to make your zucchini noodles, that is. (Best investment ever! Besides a Vitamix blender, of course!)

Ingredients 2 cups frozen strawberries 2 tablespoons chia seeds 2 cups water 3 tablespoons honey or agave nectar Directions 1. Blend in a high-powered blender until very nice and smooth.…

This is a simple raw chili recipe that can be whipped up in a flash. Optionally, you can add 1/2 teaspoon cumin if you have it in your pantry, but it’s not necessary.

This is just divine. Try it. You’ll be shocked at how good frozen bananas can taste!

For added ice cream bliss, crumble a truffle or other raw goodie (or berries) on top of your ice cream before eating.

Only make as much as you can eat right away.

Raw pasta primavera… mimicking the taste of good old fashioned Italian pasta in a creamy pasta sauce with fresh chopped veggies. Sounds gourmet, huh? It is! But not as hard as it looks, and no advanced prep is required.

No equipment required for this easy raw recipe. These pancakes are extremely heavy and rich so reserve for special occasions! I actually can only handle one pancake to myself.
