Quick and Easy Raw Food Recipes, With 5 Ingredients Or Less!

The raw food diet is a type of diet where people eat the majority of their foods in their natural whole state without cooking them. Many people are adopting this lifestyle to eat a natural whole foods diet and to get the benefits of all the nutrients available in fresh raw fruits and vegetables.

Most raw food recipes available on the web or in recipe books are complicated, time consuming, and require a lot of fancy kitchen equipment. This unfortunately turns a lot of people off to the diet because they think it is too hard and time consuming to fit into their busy lifestyle. In this article I'm going to offer a few easy recipes that don't require any fancy equipment or exotic ingredients.

*Most people already have a blender so some of these recipes require a blender.

Easy Green Smoothie Recipe

2 bananas 4 kale leaves chopped with stems removed 1/2 of an apple 1 cup water

Blend in a blender until smooth. This nutritious green smoothie can be eaten for breakfast or as a mid afternoon snack. By blending the kale you are making all the nutrients in the kale leaves such as A,K,C, Iron and calcium easy for your body to absorb and digest. The sweetness from the bananas makes the kale leaves palatable, you'll be surprised by how good it tastes! Serves 2.

Easy Cucumber Salad

2 cucumbers chopped 2 ripe tomatoes chopped 1 red bell pepper chopped 1 bunch cilantro chopped 1 avocado chopped pinch sea salt

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and enjoy as a simple and delicious side salad. The juices of the tomato and bell pepper will marinate with the cilantro to dress the cucumbers. The flesh of a cucumber is a very good source of vitamins A, C, and folic acid. The hard skin is rich in fiber and a variety of minerals including magnesium, silica, molybdenum, and potassium. Serves 4.

Easy Avocado Salad Dressing

1/2 an avocado 1 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chives pinch cayenne pepper pinch salt

Blend all ingredients except for the chives in the blender until smooth and then mix in the chives. If you don't have a blender mash the avocado and then whisk the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. Serves 2-4.

Forget Three Meals a Day

Paleo Cake:

As my daughter ate a small hotel package of butter this morning, I had to repeat to myself in my head what I read in the "The Paleo Diet" (L. Cordain): You can only eat so much pure butter until you had enough... Maybe this rule doesn't apply to my little girl, must be genetic, her daddy has the same condition.

Forget Three Meals a Day

So I said to myself: "Relax, just remember that most of the time, she is asking for fruit, fresh juice, bread or nuts." She even eats the occasional raw carrot between meals. She hardly ever asks for cookies, nor will she overeat on chips. That's the power of radical unschooling for you.

I must admit, there was a time when I was convinced my daughter was only going to eat healthy things and would never get chips, peanuts, cookies, pie, cake, ice cream and what not. That time is long gone. By choice!

When I first started reading up on radical unschooling, I found a blog post about food. Radical unschooling basically means you hand your children the right tool kit and trust them to make the right decisions for themselves in all aspects of life. Food is one of those things. Basically it comes to this where food is concerned: let them have it, tell them about the nutritional value of each food and then allow them to make their own choices. Now with a 20 month old, you can imagine there's not a great deal of explaining about the nutritional value of food, but we do leave her to decide. She can have whatever is around (with a few exception such as raw meat/fish/seafood and non-edible stuff, of course) and surprise, surprise! She hardly asks for cookies or chips.

When my daughter gets hungry, she'll go to the kitchen and point out what she wants, either from the fridge or the kitchen cabinets. She'll have a bit of chocolate when we're having some. She eats potato chips when we're out and about and they're on the table. But given the choice, 3 times out of 4 she'll pick an apple instead of a cookie.

And if you are still worried: You are doing the grocery shopping, not them. Maybe you should reconsider your own diet if you are worried about what your children might or might not be eating. Think about it: if you are worried about your child eating something you eat, then why are you having it?

I really believe that, given the choice on a regular basis, even that small, children can make the right decisions for themselves. Same goes for the amount of food they eat.

For Flying Spaghettimonsters' sake, stop pushing your kids into a three full meals a day schedule! Be a hobbit, will you! It's not even right for us! Let them eat when they're hungry and eat until they're full! If they're happy and healthy, there's no need to be worried if your child doesn't eat a full serving at dinner. They are much more in touch with their body then we are. Our parents' mania of three meals/ finish your plate etc completely out of touch with our body's needs and makes us overeat, eat the wrong things and go hungry between meals. Next to eating the wrong food, not listening to our bodies' needs is one of the main reasons so many people are obese in Western society.

Trust your kids! We trust our pets to eat the right amount of food and let them fast if they so desire, so why would we force feed our children?

Three meals a day is a practical thing, not a health choice. It's so much easier to have scheduled eating for schools/employer. It is also easier on the designed cook. It is not better for your body.
